Good morning. Euro pulls back again after yet another test of $1.3300 as Asian stocks declined today. US Trade balance and Bernanke’s speech are today’s most important events in the economic calendar

it’s too early to call a bottom, ongoing recovery is probably corrective

Support zone is back in focus after yet another failed attempt to break above $1.33. Bulls shouldn’t worry while EUR doesn’t drop decisively below 1.32 where first support is formed (more…)

Good morning. Dollar is facing another round of selling as risk-sensitive pairs continue to push to the upside on more Greek optimism. Most important events in today’s economic calendar are the ECB, BOE interest rate decisions and US initial jobless claims. Here are a few charts worth our attention today

USD Index

It seems that a test of next support at 78 is just around the corner. So far there’s no clue that a bottom is in place, so it’s probably best to wait and see how things unfold after it tests 78

EURUSD

and up it goes! the potential bull flag formation and the breakout above $1.3200 highlighted in my previous post are as valid as they can be. Now that the EUR is 1 big figure above former resistance at 1.3200, it’s clearer that the recovery is back on track and short-term sentiment will remain bullish as long as EUR holds above 1.32. Next potential target is 1.35 (more…)

Good morning. The euro is recovering after yesterday’s test of support at $1.3050, although all eyes are on Greece these days. Current recovery is all about following the Aussie dollar which rallied big time in Asian session against most counter-parts after RBA surprised the markets by leaving interest rate unchanged at 4.25% instead of cutting to 4%.

USD Index

Resistance at 79.50 still holds and the buck pulled back after the test yesterday. Sentiment is still bearish while it holds below 79.50-80.

EURUSD

Currently following AUD higher; a test of 1.3200 is probably just around the corner. 1.3050 is intact, so short-term sentiment remains bullish. If you completely ignore the Greek headlines and look at both daily and 4-hrs EURUSD charts, you’ll probably agree that a potential breach of 1.3200 would provide a new buying opportunity. (more…)

Good morning. The euro started the week under pressure, testing bids around $1.3050 earlier today. Ongoing decline is a result of yesterday’s meeting between Greek PM Lucas Papademos and the leaders of three parties, which ended without any deal. While Greece is again in focus, euro is decoupling from risk sensitive pairs such as AUDJPY and the stock markets. Here’s a couple of charts to start the week:

USD Index

Dollar trades higher as EUR weakens, approaching resistance level formed between 79.50 and 80

EURUSD

1.3200 was a strong barrier last week and EUR pulled back once again, retesting support at 1.3050. Buyers should be careful, as a potential breach of 1.3050 would hurt the short-term sentiment which is still slightly bullish (more…)
