Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EURUSD

The Euro started the week with gap-lower opening, as expected, according to the results of Greek elections, which increase pressure on the single currency, already weakened by recent SNB and ECB decisions. Lower opening of some 70-pips gap and fresh weakness below last Friday’s low, posted new low at 1.1096, on a brief probe below 1.11 handle. This was all seen so far, with fresh corrective action under way, on attempts above overnight’s high to fill the gap and signal stronger corrective action, ahead of fresh push lower. Overall picture holds strong bearish, confirmed by daily / weekly close in red, with last week’s descend, marking the strongest weekly fall since Sep 2010, also losses of the month of January are so far the strongest since May 2012. All these suggest that Euro’s fall is not over, as the price closed for the week below Fibonacci 61.8% of larger 2000/2008 0.8225/1.6039 ascend, seeing scope for attack at psychological 1.10 level, as initial target. Bounce on oversold near-term studies is so far seen as corrective, with initial requirement of sustained break above 1.1200 barrier, to open lower top at 1.1287, ahead of more significant hourly lower platform at 1.1372, last Friday’s high / near 50% of 1.1679/1.1096 downleg. Key near-term barrier lies at 1.1660/80 Zone, lower platform of 19/21 Jan and Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.2568/1.1096 and only break here would neutralize bears.

GBPUSD

Cable bounces from fresh low at 1.4950, posted on attempt below psychological 1.50 support, below which, last Friday’s close occurred. This gives signals of further bearish action towards initial target at 1.4910, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.3501/1.7189 and more significant 1.4830/12 higher base and lows of 2013. Hesitation at 1.50 handle, above which near-term corrective bounce is trading, is expected to precede fresh leg lower, with 1.5050, previous low / Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.5210/1.4950, marking good barrier and 1.5110, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement, expected to ideally cap. Only break and close above 1.52 lower top and Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.5618/1.4950, would sideline near-term bears and open pivotal 1.5267 barrier, high of 14 Jan and former recovery attempts peak.

USDJPY

The pair continues to trade in a choppy mode, entrenched within 117.20 and 118.85 range, with daily 20SMA / cloud, continuing to limit upside attempts. Last Friday’s close in red shows that the pair lacks strength for final push higher, however, mixed near-term and daily studies favor directionless mode in next few sessions, before establishing fresh direction. Sustained break above 118.85 is expected to accelerate rally towards next barriers at 120.00 and 120.80 in extension. Otherwise, loss of near-term range floor at 117.20, would increase risk of retesting 115.83, 16 Jan low and extension towards key short-term support at 115.55, low of 16 Dec 2014 and Fibonacci 38.2% of 105.18/121.83 rally.

AUDUSD
The pair remains under pressure and posts fresh low at 0.7856, after last Friday’s acceleration lower closed below psychological 0.80 support, as well as 0.7945, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of larger 0.6007/1.1079 ascend. Also, long red weekly candle, with weekly loss of that intensity, last time seen in Sep 2014, confirms negative stance for further retracement. Low of July 2009 at 0.7700 is seen as next near-term target, below which there will be no significant obstacles, until 0.7200, Fibonacci 76.4% retracement. Doji in Asian session and price action limited under session’s high, would signal limited upside, ahead of fresh attempts lower. Psychological 0.8000 resistance, also Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.8232/0.7856 descend and former lows at 0.8031, mark solid barrier and should ideally cap corrective attempts.

EURUSD

The pair showed no significant changes during this week, trading within 1.1268/1.1358 range and price action mainly holding around magnetic 1.13 level. Near-term technicals maintain neutral tone, confirmed with repeated Dojis, while daily studies remain negatively aligned, as the price stays capped by daily 10SMA and corrective action from 1.1096, low of 26 Jan, limited by descending daily 20SMA. On the other side, fundamentals are expected to be the main trigger for fresh direction, as uncertainty about Greece continues and potential negative results may accelerate Euro towards parity level, while positive solution for the crisis would boost the pair for fresh recovery. Daily 20SMA at 1.1380, marks the first breakpoint, close above which to open recovery rejection levels and lower platform at 1.1500/30 zone and resume correction off 1.1096, on sustained break higher.

GBPUSD

Cable returned back to near-term range, after yesterday’s rally through range tops at 1.5270 zone, stalled on approach to 1.53 barrier. Yesterday’s close in red confirmed false break and confirmed near-term neutral stance. Range floor at 1.52 zone is reinforced by daily 10SMA and so far holds, with break lower to confirm failure swing and trigger fresh easing towards daily 20SMA/Kijun-sen line, also 50% of 1.4950/1.5351 rally at 1.5150. Close below here to confirm near-term bears fully in play and shift focus lower. On the other side, regain of 1.53 handle, would re-focus pivotal barriers at 1.5351, 06 Feb high and 1.5363, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.5618/1.4950 descend.

USDJPY

The pair holds overall bullish tone, following yesterday’s acceleration through psychological 120 barrier that posted fresh high at 120.46. However, today’s bearish acceleration of consolidative action through initial 120 support, also broke below pivotal 119.20/00 support levels, to dip near 50% of 116.86/120.46 rally / daily Tenkan-sen line. Immediate tone weakened, despite quick recovery that needs to return above 120 handle, to neutralize increasing downside risk. Repeated break below 119.20/00, 06 Feb former high / daily cloud top, to signal stronger correction of 116.86/120.46 rally and expose next strong supports at 118.31/23, 09 Feb trough and Fibonacci 61.8% of 116.86/120.46, loss of which to confirm lower top and bring bears fully in play.

AUDUSD
The pair came under pressure on negative data and accelerated lower, following yesterday’s close below four-day range floor at 0.7730. Fresh weakness approaches key support at 0.7624, 03 Feb low, to complete near-term 0.7624/0.7874 corrective phase and signal resumption of larger downtrend. Close below 0.7624 to open next target at 0.7204, Fibonacci 76.4% of 2008/2011 0.6007/1.1079 rally. Near-term studies hold firm bearish tone, however, hesitation ahead of key support could expected on oversold conditions. Former support at 0.7730, also Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.7874/0.7642 descend, now acts as strong resistance and should ideally cap corrective rallies.

EURUSD

The Euro holds above 1.13 handle, keeping the range-trading as dominant theme in the near-term, despite yesterday’s close in red and negative setup of near-term technicals. Narrowing 20d Bollinger bands support further consolidation. However, overall bearish tone continues to focus the downside and while the price holds below daily 20SMA, now offering initial resistance and currently at 1.1357, risk of attempts through 1.13 handle for attack at key 1.1260 support, will remain in play. Conversely, break above daily 20SMA / Tenkan-sen at 1.1357/63, would ease downside pressure and expose initial 1.1400, daily Kijun-sen, ahead of the first breakpoint at 1.1450 lower platform and key barrier at 1.1532, 03 Feb correction peak. Fed Chief Yellen’s testimony and Greek’s delayed submission of economic reform plans are expected to be main drivers of the markets from the fundamental side.

GBPUSD

Cable regained traction on yesterday’s bounce from 1.5330, where higher low was left, holding near pivotal barrier and fresh high at 1.5478. Yesterday’s bullish Outside Day supports fresh strength and eventual break above 1.5478, to open 1.5526, daily Ichimoku cloud top and resume bulls towards next pivotal barrier at 1.5618, 21 Dec 2014 high. Near-term technicals hold positive tone and along with bullish setup of the daily studies, keep the upside focused. Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.5330/1.5473 rally, also former high of 20 Feb, at 1.5418, should ideally contain near-term consolidative phase, to keep immediate bulls intact. Otherwise, further easing through 1.5400/1.5385, 50% and 61.8% retracement respectively, is expected to delay bulls and expose pivotal higher base at 1.5330 zone, reinforced by daily Tenkan-sen line.

USDJPY

The pair remains entrenched between daily Kijun-sen and Tenkan-sen lines and recovered the biggest part of yesterday’s losses on fresh strength above 119 handle. Near-term studies are regaining positive tone for possible repeated attack at pivotal 119.40 barrier, near-term congestion top, break of which to signal an end of consolidative phase and open targets at psychological 120.00 and key near-term top at 120.46, peak of 12 Feb. Positively aligned daily studies support the notion. Conversely, repeated rejection at 119.40 would signal prolonged sideways trading, while extension below initial supports at 118.70 zone, yesterday / today’s low, reinforced by Tenkan-sen line, would weaken the structure and risk return to the key support at 118.25, near-term range floor and Fibonacci 61.8% of 116.86/120.46 upleg.

The pair loses traction in the near-term, after repeated attempt higher was capped at 0.7850, where strong resistance guards pivotal 0.7874 barrier. Near-term studies are weakening, as the price action attempts below daily 20SMA that increases risk of retesting pivotal 0.7756/40 lows and near-term consolidation floor. Close below here to confirm negative near-term stance, as overall bears remain in play and shift focus towards 3-week range lows and key supports at 0.7642/24. Otherwise, while initial 0.7756/40 supports hold, expect extended consolidation, with upside targets to remain in play.

Daily / weekly close in long red candle maintains strong bearish tone, as daily Bearish momentum is building up. Near-term corrective action is expected to precede fresh push towards next targets at 1.0800 / 1.0762, psychological support / Sep 2003 low.

Corrective rally on oversold near-term studies cracked initial barrier at 1.5100, round-figure resistance, ahead of 1.5184/94, daily Ichimoku cloud base / former higher base, where rallies should be ideally capped, before final push towards key med-term support at 1.4950, 23 Jan low.

Asian trading was entrenched in tight Doji, showing limited upside attempts and keeping pivotal barrier at 0.7740, former base, intact for now.

Corrective rally on oversold near-term studies is seen preceding fresh attempts lower, as setup of daily /weekly studies remains firmly bearish.

Bearish daily studies favor fresh weakness, with clear break below 0.7558, to confirm resumption of larger downtrend.

The Euro accelerates reversal off fresh high at 1.1034, reached on yesterday’s rally on dovish Fed that briefly probed above 1.10 barrier. Bullish tone that has been established on near-term studies, is losing traction, after the price dipped below 1.0680, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.0461/1.1034 rally / broken daily 10SMA, keeping the uncertainty of near-term direction. Daily close below 10SMA is required to confirm negative stance and risk retest of hourly higher bases at 1.0580/1.0550, loss of which to re-open key 1.0461 support, as daily studies hold negative tone. Conversely, close above daily 20SMA, currently at 1.0946, to revive near-tem bulls and re-focus targets at 1.1034, yesterday’s high, 1.1071, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.1449/1.0461 descend and 1.1096, former low of 26 Jan.

GBPUSD

Cable spiked to 1.5160 on post-Fed’s rally, where gains were capped by daily Ichimoku cloud base and daily 20SMA and subsequent quick pullback erased part of earlier gains on a daily close below psychological 1.50 level. Asian session and beginning of European trading saw further easing that returns below broken daily 10SMA and also broke below strong support at 1.4850, former double-top, also denting psychological 1.48 support . Close below 1.4850 to signal lower top formation and shift near-term focus lower, as daily technicals remain bearish. Alternative scenario requires fresh strength and close above daily 20SMA, currently at 1.5150, to confirm reversal.

USDJPY


The pair dipped below 120 support on yesterday’s post-Fed dollar’s bearish acceleration, ending near-term consolidative phase and sidelining immediate attempts at fresh high at 122.01. Yesterday’s close in long red candle, after triple Doji, signals weakening of near-term tone, however, quick recovery above 120.60, former pivotal support and Fibonacci 61.8% of 121.39/119.28 fall, keeps in play hopes of renewed attempts higher. Near-term studies are still negative, with indicators in strong ascend and daily bulls remain intact that supports the notion. Daily 20SMA , currently at 120.15, now acts as support, with close above daily 10SMA at 121.06, also former consolidation floor, required to confirm higher low at 119.28 and re-focus the upper targets.

Quick reversal to 0.7740, where yesterday’s close occurred and today’s fresh acceleration below 0.7687, Fibonacci 61.8% of 0.7589/0.7845 rally, softens near-term tone and increases risk of full retracement of yesterday’s rally that would put fresh low of 11 Mar at 0.7558, under strong pressure. Bearish acceleration cracked broken daily 10SMA, with close below here to confirm negative scenario, as daily studies remain bearish. Conversely, return above daily 20SMA, currently at 0.7740, would keep alive hopes of fresh recovery attempts.

Consolidative action is so far contained by daily 20SMA that keeps bullish setup of 4-hour studies in play for renewed attempts higher and final break above pivotal 1.1034 barrier. On the other side, hourly studies turned neutral and see risk of potential break below consolidation floor at 1.0888 and daily 20SMA, currently at 1.0855, to signal stronger correction towards 1.0820/00, 50% of 1.0612/1.1028 upleg / round-figure support.

The notion is supported by neutral hourly studies and contracting daily 20d Bollingers. However, bearish 4-hour technicals and south-heading daily indicators, keep the downside at risk, with fresh attempts through 119.20/08, yesterday’s low / daily 55SMA, to confirm bearish resumption and expose 118.65 higher base and 100SMA.

Immediate risk of stronger reversal is sidelined, after pullback from 125.03 peak found footstep above pivotal 123.60 support and subsequent bounce keeps near-term price action above 124 handle.

Sustained break below 123.60 support, to confirm scenario and trigger further easing towards next targets at 122.68, Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 118.87/125.03 rally and strong 122.01, former peak and breakpoint.

AUDUSD
Aussie loses traction as data-driven pullback from session’s high at 0.7785, retraces nearly 50% of 0.7596/0.7817 recovery rally and forms hourly double-top at 0.7817/12, yesterday’s peaks. Daily studies remain negative, as rally failed to break above daily 100SMA and Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.8161/0.7596 descend that reinforced psychological 0.78 barrier. Further easing and break below 0.7681, Fibonacci 61.8% of 0.7596/0.7817 and higher low at 0.7665, to confirm lower top at 0.7817 and re-open 0.7596 low, for possible final push towards key 0.7531 support. On the other side, hopes of fresh attempts higher would remain alive, while the price holds above 0.7681 support, but regain of yesterday’s lower top at 0.7787, is seen as minimum requirement to confirm scenario and re-focus 0.7817 high and 0.7846, daily 20SMA, in extension.

However, repeated bullish weekly close and positively aligned daily/weekly studies, keep scenario of higher low formation and fresh push higher, in play. Filling overnight’s gap is seen as initial step, with break above 1.13 barrier, near last Friday’s high, required to confirm reversal.

Positive last Friday’s close that also occurred above 200SMA, keeps the upside focused, as last Friday’s rally also cracked Fibonacci 61.8% barrier of 1.5813/1.5168 downleg, at 1.5166. The notion is supported by long green weekly candle, on acceleration from 1.5168, correction low of 01 June, where higher low was formed.

Near-term price action remains directionless, after bounce from near-term base at 122.44 was capped at 124 zone and price action entrenched within narrow range. Last Friday’s Doji confirms hesitation, along with neutral near-term technicals. Immediate downside threats were neutralized after fresh rally covered overnight’s gap lower, however, range-trading remains intact in the near-term. However, downside remains at risk, as corrective pullback from fresh high at 125.84, hasn’t finished yet and risk of lower top formation and fresh leg lower, exists. To neutralize such scenario, break above daily 10SMA and last Thursday’s recovery top at 123.98/124.11, is seen as minimum requirement, with further rallies and break above lower top at 124.61. also Fibonacci 61.8% of 125.84/122.44, to confirm reversal and shift focus higher.

Positively aligned near-term studies suggest further upside, with sustained break above 1.1010 barrier, needed to confirm. On the other side, daily structure remains negative overall, with repeated weekly long-legged Doji candle, seeing prolonged consolidation as likely scenario. On the larger picture, initial range lies between 1.0844 and 1.1125, with break of either side, required to establish short-term direction.

Cable maintains negative near-term tone, after Friday’s repeated close in red and fresh weakness that touched strong support at 1.5420, daily Ichimoku cloud base. Subsequent bounce and overnight’s narrow-range consolidation are likely to delay fresh bears, as rising daily cloud base, continues to support. However, daily indicators are breaking below their midlines, with setup of daily MA’s turning into bearish mode and weekly Bearish Engulfing candle, keeping the downside pressured. Daily cloud base marks the first breakpoint, ahead of 200SMA that lies at 1.5381 and break lower to confirm lower platform at 1.5670 zone. Overnight’s price action was shaped in tight Doji, holding below psychological 1.55 level that marks initial resistance, ahead of Friday’s high at 1.5542 and daily Tenkan-sen at 1.5555, break of which to ease immediate downside pressure.
