EUR/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3961; (P) 1.4054 (R1) 1.4138; More.

EUR/USD's recovery from 1.3969 continues further today and breaches 1.41 briefly. But still, with 1.4344 resistance intact, near term outlook remains bearish and further decline is still expected. Below 1.3969 will target 61.8% projection of 1.4938 to 1.4047 from 1.4344 at 1.3793 next. However, note that break of 1.4344 will indicate short term bottoming and bring stronger rebound towards 1.4938 high instead.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD –Sell at 1.6205

Despite intra-day initial fall to 1.6055, the subsequent rebound together with the breach of the Kijun-Sen add credence to our view that a minor low has been formed there and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6185) would be seen, however, reckon 1.6207-09 (current level of the Ichimoku cloud top and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6304 to 1.6055) would limit upside, bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD –Sell at 1.0640

Despite yesterday's fall to 1.0478 as aussie has rebounded today after holding above this support, suggesting consolidation above there would be seen with mild upside bias for recovery to 1.0610/20, however, renewed selling interest should emerge around 1.0640/50 and bring another decline. A break of said support would extend the fall from 1.1012 top for weakness to previous support at 1.0440/45.
