Risk appetite failed to sustain overnight as traders refused to commit to their positions ahead of thin holiday trading period.

EUR/USD is back below 1.31 level again and judging from these few days price actions, there selloff isn't over yet and we'll more likely seen another break 1.30 again, probably as markets return from holiday next week.Full Report Here... |    |

EUR/USD Daily OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 1.2993; (P) 1.3039 (R1) 1.3082; More.Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains neutral for the moment and more consolidative trading could be seen in range of 1.2946/3197. But after all, with 1.3212 resistance intact, there is no confirmation of bottoming and fall from 1.4246 is still in favor to continue. Break of 1.2946 will confirm decline resumption for 1.2873 support first. However, break of 1.3212 will indicate that a short term bottom is at least formed at 1.2946 and stronger rebound should then be seen to 1.3538 resistance and above. Read more... |

BOE Votes Unanimously To Leave Rates And Asset Purchases UnchangedThe BOE minutes indicated that policymakers voted unanimously in December to leave the Bank rate at 0.5% and the asset purchase program at 275B pound.

RBA Cut Rates In December As Situation In Eurozone Deteriorated SharplyThe RBA minutes for the December meeting indicated that the rate cut in the month was mainly driven by the dire situation in the Eurozone (in November, the rate cut was due to weaker-than-expected inflation).

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3125Despite yesterday’s brief rise to 1.3199, the subsequent selloff to 1.3025 suggests top has been formed there and consolidation with mild downside bias is seen for weakness to 1.3000, however, only break of indicated support at 1.2983 would revive our bearish view that correction from 1.2945 low has ended at 1.3199 and bring retest of this level later.Read more... Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Buy at 77.30Although the greenback found renewed buying interest above previous support at 77.62 and staged a rebound from yesterday’s low of 77.68, a sustained breach of this week’s high at 78.18 is needed to extend the rise from 77.13 to indicated resistance at 78.29 but only break of latter level would retain bullishness and confirm our view that correction from 79.55 has ended and bring further gain to 78.50Read more...
