Today's Focus: EURUSD & GBPUSD

  • EURUSD: Clears Its Declining Trendline, Turns Focus To The 1.3298 Level.
  • GBPUSD: The 1.5048 Level Remains The Trigger For A Retest Of The 1.5534 Level.
EURUSD

EUR shot through its ST declining trendline Tuesday and was seen cutting through its Nov 25 & 05'08 highs at 1.3081/1.3116 in early morning trading today. This development has now left the pair targeting its broader range top/Oct 30'08 high at 1.3298 with a break of there though not envisaged on first test aiming at the 1.3531 level, its Oct 20'08 high. Supports are presently located at the 1.3081/1.3116 zone and the 1.2814 level, its Nov 19'08 high followed by the 1.2330 level, its YTD low with a loss of there resuming its medium term downtrend started at 1.6038 towards the 1.2134 level, its .50 Ret (its 0.8231-1.6038 high, monthly chart).On the whole, unless a break and hold above the 1.3298 level occurs, its present range trading environment is expected to continue until any meaningful directional moves is seen either way.

GBPUSD

As consolidation to upside strength continues to build up following the pair's sell off from the 1.5534 level, its Nov 25'87 high, a break and close above its minor resistance at the 1.5048 level, its Dec 08'08 high will open up upside risk towards the 1.5534 level. While this level remains unbroken, we expect the pair to turn back down again. In such a case, the 1.4558 level, its Nov 13'08 low and then its recent medium term low at the 1.4470 level will be aimed at with a penetration and negation of the latter putting the next downside objective at the 1.4045 level, its Jan'02 low. The only risk to this view will be a break and hold above the 1.5534 level which should set the pair up for further strength towards the 1.5885 level, its Nov 10'08 high. All in all, the pair may be undergoing corrective price activities but its overall medium to long term bearishness remains in force.
