The Euro ended week in which the pair posted fresh 3-month low at 1.2754 and 3–week high at 1.3205. Price closed at 1.3069, 200DMA and near 50% retracement of entire 1.3414/1.2754 downleg, with downside being protected at 1.3000, psychological support and higher platform. Two day consolidation moves in a narrow range, following pullback from 1.3205 high, with hourly studies holding neutral tone. From the other side, positive 4-hour structure and formation on bullish pennant, suggests that bulls are in play and look for renewed attempt higher. Sustained break above 1.3100 is required to confirm and open key short-term barrier at 1.3205. Conversely, violation of 1.3000 **** and 1.2980, 50% retracement of 1.2754/1.3205 recovery rally, would soften the tone and increase downside risk.

Cable consolidates past week’s rally that commenced at 1.4812, fresh 3-year low and peaked at 1.5220, retracing over 38.2% of 1.5751/1.4812 descends. The price found **** at 1.5070/60 zone, reinforced by 4-hour 55DMA, but weak hourly studies keep the downside at risk. However, 4-hour structure remains positive, with price holding above 1.5060, would keep hopes of fresh strength above 1.5200/20 in play, for resumption of short-term recovery towards key 1.5282/1.5303 barriers.

The pair trades in two-day consolidative range, off fresh low at 98.22, posted on 11/07, with 99.68 high being reached so far. Series of higher lows from 98.22, suggest further recovery, with notion being supported by Friday’s inside day candle and positively aligned hourly studies. Regain of minimum 100 level is required to confirm recovery, otherwise, fresh weakness would be triggered by still weak 4-hour studies and re-focus 98.22 support.

The Aussie remains under pressure, as last Friday’s fresh weakness dented psychological 0.9000 support and probed levels last time traded in Sep 2010. Weekly close above 0.9000 handle, sees potential for limited corrective action, as technicals turned negative, following last week’s recovery rejection at 0.93 zone and subsequent fall, signaling resumption of larger downtrend. Initial resistance lay at 0.9115/50, Fibonacci 38.2% and 50% of Thu/Fri fall from 0.9304, with key barrier at 0.9200, expected to cap stronger rallies. Fresh weakness below 0.9000, would open 0.8900, round figure support and 0.8888, Fibonacci 100% expansion of the downwave from 1.0581.

The Euro trades in a prolonged consolidation, holding in a sideways mode, with price action being entrenched within 1.3000/80 range. Hourly studies are still neutral, as the price attempts through the range tops, while 4-hour technicals maintain bullish tone and see scope for fresh strength that needs to clear initial barriers at 1.3121/45, to open key resistance at 1.3205. Double hanging man candle on the daily chart, however, keeps the risk of fresh weakness, with slide below key support levels at 1.3000/1.2980 that keep the downside protected for now, required to bring bears in play.

The pair extended short-term recovery off 98.22 low, as the price initially broke above 99.68, consolidation range top and more important psychological 100 barrier. Fresh rally reached 100.47 so far, with corrective pullback being contained at 99.68, previous low / 55DMA. Positively aligned hourly studies keep the upside favored, with sustained break above 100 hurdle, expected to resume recovery and open key 101.52 barrier, 08/07 high. Conversely, downside risk would increase on a violation of initial 99.68 support, while loss of 99.00 handle will be bearish and shift focus towards 98.22 low.

The Aussie remains extends recovery rally from 0.8997 low, as break above 0.9115 congestion top triggered fresh strength to important 0.9200 resistance zone. Freshly established bulls on hourly chart are supportive for further recovery, with 4-hour chart indicators heading north and building up bullish momentum. However, clear break above 0.9200 hurdle is seen as minimum requirement to open way towards key barriers at 0.9304 and 0.9343, 11/07 high and 26/27/07 tops / near 50% of 0.9664/0.8997 descend. Only break above the latter would be signaling more significant corrective action, as larger picture bears remain fully in play.

Bulls came back to play after the price broke above congestion tops at 1.3080. Fresh strength through initial barriers at 1.3121/45, opens way towards 1.3205, 11/07 peak, setting scope for further retracement of 1.3414/1.2754 downleg. Break above 1.3205 is required to open 1.3258, next target, Fibonacci 76.4% retracement and 21/06 high, seen as next target. Positive tone on lower timeframes studies and daily close above 200DMA, supports the notion, while previous resistances at 1.3100/1.3080 offer immediate support, while key support and breakpoint lies at 1.3000 higher platform.

The price bounced from short-term consolidation floor and cracked the upper boundary at 1.5140 zone, signaling possible extension higher and retest of key short-term hurdle at 1.5220. However, lack of momentum for final push higher, with hourly studies being overall neutral, would question short-term bulls. Failure to regain 1.5200/20 barriers, would signal prolonged sideways trading. Initial support at 1.5100 holds for now, while more downside risk would be seen on violation of range floor at 1.5030 zone.

The pair remains under pressure, following Monday’s rejection at 100.47 and subsequent reversal that dented 99.00 support. Further extension of downmove from 100.47 would threaten 98.22, 11/07 low and psychological 98.00 support, reinforced by 100DMA, as short-term indicators hold in the negative territory and keep the downside favored. Corrective rallies are expected to stay under 100.47 high.

The pair returned to strength and extended short-term recovery rally from 0.8997 low, with eventual break above 0.9200 barrier, seeing scope for further gains and full retracement of 0.9304/0.8997 downleg. Positive short-term technicals support the notion, however, consolidative/corrective action on overbought hourly studies, may delay bulls, with dips to be ideally contained at 0.9160 zone, 38.2% retracement of 0.8997/0.9259 rally / 20/55DMA bullish crossover. Key upside barriers lay at 0.9304/43 and break here is required to spark stronger correction and sideline broader bars.

Positive sentiment, established on a break above 1.3070/1.3100 barriers, 200DMA / daily Ichimoku cloud top is fading, as the price slides again below 1.3100 handle. The rally stalled at 1.3175 zone, lacking momentum for final push to 1.3205 high, break of which to resume rally from 1.2754. Studies are mixed, with 4-hour chart structure remaining positive, while hourly studies weakened, as the price probes below 1.3100 support. Losing 1.3100/1.3070 support zone would further weaken the structure and open way towards key support and higher platform at 1.3000.

The pair regained strength and broke above Wednesday’s congestion and triangle resistance at 99.80 zone. Fresh gains through psychological 100 barrier, bring bulls in play for retest of key 100.47 resistance, break of which to resume short-term rally from 98.22 low. Short-term technicals are supportive for further gains, with initial support at 99.50, ahead of bull trendline at 99.15 and 99.00/98.88, below which bears would take control.

The pair broke below yesterday’s range floor at 0.9190, weakening the near-term structure after upside rejection on approach to strong 0.9304 barrier. Weak hourly studies see potential for further corrective easing off yesterday’s 0.9290 high, with 0.9140, 50% retracement of 0.8997/0.9290, seen as immediate target. Larger picture range, however, remains intact, with positive 4-hour structure still seeing scope for attempt at 0.9304, range top, break of which would trigger stronger corrective action and open 0.9343/0.9400. Conversely, loss of 0.9140/00 supports, would open 0.9000 zone for retest.

The pair remains in a consolidative range of 0.9000/0.9300, with weekly close occurring in the upper area of the range and lower timeframes studies being positively aligned. Overall bear-trend, however, remains in play and sees the resumption lower, once break below 0.9000 signals completion of consolidative phase. Only clear break above 0.9300 barrier would signal basing attempt and allow for stronger corrective action.

Spot Gold ended week with positive tone, after testing both boundaries of short-term range, with recovery off 1267 range low, closing just under strong 1300 barrier, range top / 50% retracement of 1423/1180 descend and bear-trendline, drawn off 1588, 10/04 high. Positive tone dominating on short-term studies, pushed the price for final break above 1300 barrier, with acceleration higher clearing initial 1321 target. Upside is now seen favored and price is looking for 1330, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1423/1180 descend and 1338, 19/05 low. Overbought conditions on lower timeframes studies suggest corrective pullback would precede fresh rally, with previous key barrier at 1300, now acting as key support and expected to contain corrective dips.

Cable ended Friday’s trade with Doji candle, as the price moved within 1.5350/80 consolidative range. However, positive tone dominates on lower timeframes studies and favors further upside. Clear break above 1.5400 barrier that was cracked on spike to 1.5433, is required to open 1.5476, 26/06 high and psychological 1.5500 barrier. Positively aligned daily studies are supportive, with Friday’s low at 1.5354, reinforced by 20DMA, offering initial support, ahead of psychological 1.5300 handle.

The Dollar/yen ended week in red, after repeated failure to hold gains above psychological 100 level, triggered fresh weakness. Friday’s extension lower that broke below 98.22, previous low, probed below 98.00 support. This completed daily failure swing and opens way for broader weakness. Break below important supports at 97.65/58, 50% retracement of 93.78/101.52 ascend / daily Ichimoku cloud ****, is required to confirm bearish resumption from 101.52 and 100.85 highs and open 97.00, round-figure support and 96.74, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement, as daily indicators are attempting below their midlines. Negative tone prevails on lower timeframes, with the downside being favored, however, bears may be interrupted by corrective rally on oversold conditions.

The pair ended week during which the pair tested both, 0.9000/0.9300 near-term range borders, with positive tone prevailing on a bounce towards the upper boundary. Friday’s trading was seen as consolidation under the range top, as the price held above 0.9200 support. Positively aligned short-term studies keep the upside focused, with clearance of 0.9316/43 barriers, required to confirm bottom and commence recovery phase. Conversely, repeated upside rejection would signal further sideways trading and increase downside risk, if price falls below 0.9200/0.9150, Fibonacci 38.2% / 50% of 0.8997/0.9316 range.
