FX Thoughts for the Day

Daily Forex Technicals | Written by Kshitij Consultancy Services | Jul 22 08 12:21 GMT |

USD-CHF @ 1.0148/53.... Thin volatility.

R: 1.0200 / 1.0235-50 / 1.0270-80
S: 1.0170 / 1.0150 / 1.0110 / 1.0060

In a day that did not have much volatility, the pair has seen a high-low range of only 35 pips. The day ahead is also not expected to be any different with no US data releases. This calm trading in the market, needless to say, is not only unfavorable for the intra-day traders like us but is also very unlike the market we are so used to.


Support is expected at 1.0150-30 and 1.0100. Resistance will be faced if an attempt to surpass 1.0200 is made. Beyond 1.0200, 1.0250 will come into the picture. The range looks pretty good now, and the market is expected to head towards the bigger Support region at 1.0100-0060, which seems to be a good level to enter long.

Limit Buy Order:

  • Buy 10K USD at 1.0050, SL 0.9975, TP 1.0150

GBP-USD @ 2.0062/67... Bullishness regained

R: 2.0080 / 2.0138-150 / 2.0200
S: 2.0050-30 / 2.00 /1.9970-50

A rally to beyond 2.0050 has materialized in the day today. In the day today a close above 2.0050-2.00 is of high importance for the bullishness to continue. Continuing to trade above 2.0050 in the US session will raise the chances of a further rally towards 2.0200 in the later half of the week.

For now, Support is expected near 2.0050-30 and below that 2.0000. Resistance is expected at 2.0130-40.

AUD-USD @ 0.9776/80... Targetting 0.9900

R: 0.9800 / 0.9835 / 0.9850-67
S: 0.9740-30 / 0.9700 / 0.9660 / 0.9600

Aussie has remained within a tight range of 40 pips in the day. For the US session ahead, if the steady rise continues, expect a test of 0.9825-35. However, this would be seen only if the minor Resistance at 0.9800 gives way.

A dip, if seen, is not expected to see levels below 0.9750.

Holding:

  • Long 10K AUD at 0.9782, SL 0.9670, TP 0.9820
