| European markets mainly closed for Easter Monday holiday Posted: I'm pretty sure that most of the major European financial centres in the UK, Germany, France and Spain are closed for the Easter Monday public holiday so it should again be a very quiet session until the US gets started. |
| AUD/USD: Light stops triggered as intraday bulls give up Posted: Trailing stops have been triggered below 1.0720 as the USD tries to stage a bit of a comeback. Next support levels are hourly lows near 1.0650. I'm sure some contrarian bears out there will be interested in the possible double-top on the hourly chart. |

Demand on dips for EUR/USD, AUD/USD and now even for GBP/USD continues to be solid and USD/JPY has also run into a lot of buying interest over the last week, starting at 82.50 and down ... |
