Good morning. Euro recovered some ground since yesterday but is facing selling pressure on each attempt to reach fresh intraday highs – and the sell-off is likely to continue amid Spain and Italy worries. According to yesterday’s poll, most readers are expecting the EUR to continue its decline – to $1.200 and below.
EURUSD
Market sentiment: intraday – bearish, short-term – bearish
Potential trade strategy: to sell on pullback to 1.2150/70, initial stop above 1.2200, target at and below 1.200.
EURUSD 4hrs 7-24-2012
There are two sell zones quite obvious on the hourly chart: one at 1.2150 (gap filling) and the 2nd one between 1.2190 and 1.2220 – a 30-pip range formed by the two fib retracement levels

USDCHF
The dollar trades comfortably around .9900 against the Swiss franc and there’s a good chance that parity level will be tested soon
Market sentiment: intraday – bullish, short-term – bullish
Potential trade strategy: to buy dips at .9860/80, target at 1.000 and above
USDCHF 4hrs 7-24-2012
EURJPY
EURJPY feels even heavier than EURUSD. But it does have a chance to recover, and that’s only if USDJPY makes a strong comeback and EURJPY would follow. But right now it’s the other way around: USDJPY following EURJPY downward. Well, whatever happens – one thing is clear enough: there are many sellers waiting in line to crush the EUR against the yen
Market sentiment: intraday – bearish, short-term – bearish
Potential trade strategy: sell on minor pullbacks to 95.20, or maybe higher – at 95.80, target below 94

AUDUSD
Aussie dollar recovered some of its losses and is currently testing resistance formed by the MA lines seen below and the horizontal resistance around 1.0300. I don’t think it’s a good idea to buy it yet, as more EUR weakness would drag AUDUSD down as well.
Market sentiment: intraday – bearish, short-term – bullish
Potential trade strategy: to sell into rally at 1.0350, stop above 1.0400, target at 1.0150

AUDCAD
Recovery continues after Aussie bounced off support around 1.0450 yesterday. Resistance to keep an eye on is formed at 1.0500/10
Market sentiment: intraday – bullish, short-term – bullish
Potential trade strategy: to look for a swing trade buying opportunity on the potential break of 1.0500, target at 1.0700

have a great day!
