Weekly Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD broke through key support this week to trade at its lowest level since mid-November
- Our trend bias is lower in the Euro while below the 2013 closing high near 1.3800
- The 4th square root relationship of the 2013 high is now a key downside attraction
- A minor cycle turn window is seen later next week
- Only a daily close back over 1.3800 would turn us positive on the Euro again
Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while under 1.3800.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
EUR/USD | 1.3360 | *1.3420 | 1.3490 | 1.3655 | *1.3800 |
Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY remains in consolidation mode above the 38% retracement of the October to January advance near 102.00
- Our broader bias is now negative in the rate while below 104.40
- The 102.00 level is an important pivot that needs to be breached soon on a daily close basis if a more serious decline is to take hold
- A turn window is seen early next week
- A weekly close back over 104.40 would turn us positive again on USD/JPY
Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like the short side in USD/JPY while below 104.40.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
USD/JPY | 101.55 | *102.00 | 102.15 | 103.40 | *104.40 |
Weekly Price & Time Analysis: GOLD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- XAU/USD failed earlier in the week near the 38% retracement of the August to January decline near 1276
- Our broader trend bias remains positive in the metal while above 1213
- A convergence of Gann and Fibonacci levels between 1276 and 1286 needs to be overcome to signal the next leg higher
- The next few days are important for the metal from a cyclical stanpoint
- A daily close back under 1213 would turn us negative on the metal
Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like being long while over 1213.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
XAU/USD | *1213 | 1246 | 1241 | *1286 | 1300 |
