Featured Technical Report

EUR/GBP Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.8824; (P) 0.8851; (R1) 0.8870; More

EUR/GBP faced resistance from 0.8886 and retreated. With 4 hours MACD crossed below signal line, a temporary top is formed and intraday bias is turned neutral. After EUR/GBP continues to stay in range of 0.8642/8886 and near term outlook remains neutral. We'd prefer to see breakout on either side to confirm the outlook. On the upside, sustained break of 0.8886 will complete a head and shoulder bottom pattern (ls: 0.8704, h: 0.8642, rs: 0.8653) and confirm completion of decline from 0.9083 and should bring retest of this resistance. On the downside, below 0.8794 minor support should rule out the head and shoulder scenario and turn bias to the downside for 0.8642/53 support zone. Break there will resume whole fall from 0.9083.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Buy at 1.6285

Although cable rose briefly to 1.6455 yesterday, the subsequent retreat suggest first leg of rebound from 1.6207 has ended and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.6325) cannot be ruled out, however, reckon downside would be limited to 1.6302-03 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6207-1.6455 and current level of the Ichimoku cloud bottom), bring another rebound later. A breach of said resistance at 1.6455 would extend the rebound from Friday’s low of 1.6207 for a stronger retracement of the fall from 1.6618 top to 1.6461

Trade Idea: USD/JPY – Hold long entered at 76.55

Despite yesterday’s rebound to 77.02, as the greenback has retreated again after faltering right at the Ichimoku cloud bottom, suggesting further consolidation would take place and indicated support at 76.47-50 needs to hold to retain bullishness for another rebound later today. A sustained break of 77.07-10 (previous resistance and current level of the Ichimoku cloud top) would suggest the retreat from 77.70 has possibly ended and bring further gain to 77.25/30, then towards 77.70.
