Market Report for Feb 3rd 2012

Forex Daily Market Report

As mentioned yesterday, bullish congestion bumping on 318 has been making trading difficult (at least directional trading). Fortunately, Kase remain very reliable in this environment, using our usual levels (30p/60p apart). Short 10p Kase are obviously more sensitive subdivisions.

No major change in outlook today, with more chance of exhaustion of buying pressure allowing a deeper retracement. 312 pivot should first hold, then let go to lower part of same trading range. Again, unless we see a push to a clear (D+) breakout (cf last reports), congestion is here to stay.

Similar story on USDCHF. Good short Kase swings, with 915 turning to strong support level despite momentary penetrations seen yesterday. However the narrowing of the range, and the bearish bias on longer time frames could the US$ further. At the same time, it is way oversold on (4H+), so even if one see an excursion south of 915 (pivot on longer time frames), a possibility of lashing back above 920 still exists.

GBPUSD is confronted to the same uncertainty although it may be easier to follow its behaviour on the current channel. 580 proved to be a good support to now aim back at 587 strong resistance. Strong and maybe too strong, so we shall monitor a possible profit taking trigger on channel breakout (on target for the more aggrssive traders), along with EURUSD and other major pairs. The Pound is massively overbought on (4H+).

Market Report for Feb 2nd 2012

February 2, 2012

Market Report for Feb 2nd 2012 EURUSD jumped back on 306 support to toy with 318 again. There is however no reason to change our outlook at this point. Bullish congestion is certainly a positive indication for the Euro yet a clean break of this 318 resistance level, also (D+) bearish resilence, as well as [...]

Market Report for Feb 1st 2012

February 1, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report We anticipated volatility to come back on strong 318 resistance, and followign Kase was a cinch. The Euro fell back in an orderly way to salient 306 level (as per regular energy quanta). Although this is a important support level on Kase (pivot), the price line is below bullish resilience level [...]

Market Report for Jan 31st 2012

January 31, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report EURUSD retraced yesterday in a very orderly way, i.e. clean Kase swing, to find support on previous lows, incidentally also bullish resilience. We are back to strong (4H-) resistance on 318, where momentum should now fade allowing for bullish congestion to set in. One cannot discard Kase pushing a little and [...]

Market Report for Jan 30th 2012

January 29, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report The Euro fared as expected, testing support to climb back quite strongly. We first thought a deeper retracement would be needed, but on the contrary it help 312 to go pass 318 and now even aim towards 324. This last surge above 318 is not exactly warranted in any (4H-) time [...]

Market Report for Jan 27th 2012

January 27, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report EURUSD reached our 318 target spot on to then engage into normal profit taking, with some hesitation about testing bullish resilience on 305-306 or not. Exhaustion is natural at this stage, particularly when the former bearish pattern was aborted. Having said that, the turnaround looks about confirmed even on higher time [...]

January 26, 2012

January 25, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report EURUSD did retraced to 295 before charging ahead. Scenario we anticipated i.e. testing (4H) bullish resilience in 294-295 area. There is now a more affirmed indication of a possible rise to congest near early Jan highs again before retracing again. If highs break, the Euro will shoot to 312 or even [...]

Daily Market Report for Jan 24th 2012

January 24, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report EURUSD found support on 288 as anticipated, where it then bounced strongly to go test the salient 300 resistance, penetrating it to 305 on strong momentum. The Euro is now understandably stalling, looking for another support level to gather strength again, and this could be on 298 or as low as [...]

Market report for Jan 23rd 2012

January 23, 2012

Daily Forex Market Report EURUSD admittedly missed the Fib target by a little on Friday morning and then looked for support. After the good run the Euro showed last week, profit taking was not only normal but bullish resilience level climbed to 288-289 so one could assume support could be found in this area. There [...]
