The following is your daily outlook for the EUR/USD -March 11

A push higher on Wednesday still kept the pair lower than the previous swing high, thus tightening the short-term triangle formation.  The high Wednesday is within a couple pips of the downward trendline (hourly) which connected the last two swings highs.

Ultimately the pair remains between the major pivotal levels of 1.3740 and 1.3430.  I have pointed this out many times, but support and resistance within this range are not crucial, and since the EUR/USD is a trending currency trading with the range is not an ideal strategy.

That said, there are of course opportunities for short-term traders.   The minor trendline resistance mentioned above comes in at 1.3670 with horizontal resistance at 1.3680.  1.3700 ad 1.3740 are more significant resistance beyond.  Movement above 1.3740 indicates an further upward correction.

Overall trend still remains down on the longer term charts, and the pair works through a sideways correction.    Support is likely in the short-term through 1.3630-1.3615 followed by 1.3540-1.3530.  A break beyond this is likely to challenge the lower portions of the range, namely 1.3500-1.3490 and 1.3430.

This was actually posted by Adam yesterday, so I am a little late in getting it to you, but it is still a valuable look at the current state of Gold.

Cheers,

The move down in gold yesterday surprised many traders and flashed an exit signal based on MarketClub’s daily “Trade Triangle” technology. As we have mentioned before, we felt that gold was in a broad trading range and were not optimistic that it would shoot higher.

The action yesterday confirms that we have more of a two-way market. I expect we’ll see further selling on any rallies from this level.

In today’s video, I share with you some thoughts I have on gold based on one important element: how gold energy fields propel this market.

There was some movement today, but the daily range has narrowed.  The EUR/USD is a trending currency and will eventually make a trending move, but now it trades between two pivotal levels, 1.3430 and 1.3740.

The recent swing have given us some support and resistance within the range:  Support comes in at 1.3540-1.3525.  A drop below this area is likely to head towards the lower part of the range encountering more support at 1.3490, 1.3460 and 1.3430.  A break below this major level indicates another leg down in the trend.

Resistance is evident in the area of 1.3700 followed by 1.3740 and 1.3785.  A move up into this area and beyond 1.3800 would break the daily downward trendline indicating a further correction.

Here is your daily outlook for the EUR/USD – March 9, 2010.

The pair continues to move in a sideways fashion.  On the hourly chart we have converging short-term trendlines forming a triangle .  Given that the triangle has formed within a well-established range does not indicate a breakout.  Although, a move above 1.3715 would be our first indication of the possibility, yet would need to pass the resistance levels mentioned below to be a breakout.

The trend remains down, although the EUR/USD is in a correction (albeit sideways).  Downward trendline intersects between 1.3750-1.3800.  Significant horizontal resistance comes in around this 1.38 level as well.

In the short-term, resistance comes in at 1.3700 and 1.3740.  Beyond this there is a resistance area between 1.3790-1.3840.  A break beyond this would indicate a reversal and a move higher.

Minor support has developed at 1.3600 and beyond this at 1.3550-1.3530.  Major swing lows and support levels come in at 1.3450-1.3430.  A break below this indicates another leg down in the downtrend.

Despite the fact this range has sustained itself for some time now, range trading the EUR/USD is generally not a high probability trade due to its high propensity to trend.

This is your weekly analysis of the EUR/USD.  This is a longer term view of the major currency pair than what is analyzed in the (posted) daily analysis.

On Thursday and Friday in the daily analysis, I said that we needed confirmation for the breakout.  False breakouts remain a high probability thus confirmation is needed.  The pair did no confirm the break and finished the week well off the high.  Thus the pair remains within the range.

The EUR/USD is not a high probability to range trade, even though over the past weeks range trading would have been profitable.  This is because the USD is a trending currency, which means ranges within pairs which contain the USD are unlikely to be sustained for long periods of time.  Most traders, especially longer term traders, will find it beneficial to back off during times such as these and wait for a trending move to occur.

From the daily chart we can see that the trend is still down.  A confirmed break above 1.3750 has a target of 1.4030.  This would serve in breaking the downward trendline and potentially setting up a larger reversal…but price action in between will determine that and if it occurs we will analyze that next week.

The weekly average range for the pair is about 300 pips, so with a close of 1.3602 we would need to see an above average move to reach the target this week.

A confirmed break below 1.3430 would target 1.3140.  This would mean a 5th wave (third leg) down and a continuation of the downtrend.

Based on the price action we have seen, this market is very choppy and there is no need to anticipate which direction the market will go.  Wait for a breakout and then a confirmation (a retest or pullback towards the breakout point, the level holds up and a renewed push in the breakout direction occurs).  The targets are not likely to be seen this week so patience is the key in this market.

The following is your weekly stock market outlook for March 8-12.  We will look at the S&P 500.

In last weeks analysis 1104 was the pivot point.  Holding above that was important in painting a picture in which the market could go higher.  At no point this past week was that point tested, and the result was a reaching (and exceeding) of the 1130 profit target.

The current upward trend which began back on Feb 5 is quite steep and a pullback is likely, yet with the relative close proximity to 52 week highs 1150 will likely be tested by the market.

Support now comes in at 1126-1124 followed by 1116-1112.  1105-1104 still has some relevance, but no longer a major level.  A drop below it though indicates weakness and a likely probe below 1100.  Support comes in further down at 1086 – but this is outside the average range for the market.

Average weekly range about 32 points.   The S&P closed out the week at 1138.70 and saw buying right into the close.

Little resistance hangs overhead, and a test of 1147-1151 is likely.  A move above this band indicates another wave higher and with clear skies minor resistance comes in at 1166 and 1180.  Multiple profit target approaches set out a target between 1180-1184 for the break.  This would be well beyond the average weekly range, so the 1166 target can be used for this week if we do see the market above 1150.

Have a profitable week!

The following is your daily EUR/USD outlook for March 5, 2010.

The EUR pulled back today, and currently trades near the middle of the former range.  As mentioned in yesterday’s post on confirmation of the breakout, the pair needs to climb above the resistance now at 1.3740-1.3750 and then ultimately break the trendline at 1.3800 in order to confirm a larger correction.

At the moment, the pair remains choppy.  Longer term trend remains down, while we have higher lows and higher highs over the last few days.

I do not give much significance to support and resistance within this range.  Although some support has developed just above 1.3540, and is likely at 1.3520, 1.3490 and key support at 1.3440-1.3430.

Upside resistance, not significant, but likely at 1.3620-1.3640, 1.3700 and then the resistance level to add evidence to a further move higher – 1.3740

Non-Farm Payrolls out tomorrow could be the catalyst in moving this pair back into a trend, and will at minimum expand volatility.

If you have been following my analysis lately, you know there were some mixed signals in the market.  Adam lays out his thoughts in this new video, and poses a very credible case that maybe the Euro has gone to far.  Looking for some straight forward analysis?  It was recorded yesterday, but after today’s move is very relevant.

It’s only about 4 mins and is free to view.  Enjoy.

The following is your daily EUR/USD outlook for March 4.

The EUR/USD broke above resistance at 1.3700.  That pushed the pair up to interim resistance at 1.3740 (to 1.3750) on the way to the 1.3800 target as mentioned yesterday.

The pullback to the breakout point has occurred, moving back to 1.3688  and currently trades as 1.3707.  A push back above 1.3750 would confirm the breakout.  Trendline resistance intersects at 1.3800 which is the current target if resistance can be penetrated.  Resistance beyond the target is 1.3835.  Penetration of that point would put the pair in at least a short-term correction higher, making a retest of recent lows very unlikely over the next couple weeks.

Support has developed between1.3690, and can extend down to 1.3670.  A drop below that level hints at a bull trap and a retest of support between 1.3610-1.3590.   Below this, again, support and resistance lose their importance.  That said, some support is likely at 1.3520, 1.3490 and key support at 1.3440-1.3430.

This is your daily EUR/USD outlook for March 3.

On Tuesday the pair ever so briefly dipped below 1.3440.  The sharp rebound showed that traders had little conviction in taking the EUR lower at that point.  The false breakout allowed the range to stay in tact as the pair currently heads towards recent swing highs.

At this writing the pair trades at 1.3620.  1.3660 is resistance within the range followed by 1.3680 and 1.3700.

As mentioned in prior posts, trend traders should avoid the pair until a confirmed breakout occurs.  Day traders will likely enjoy the large price swings within the range.  That said, the EUR/USD is not an ideal currency for range trading over the longer term (info on that here: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/10/range-trade-without-usd.asp).

1.3700 is significant resistance on the upside.   As stated yesterday “Overall the pair remains in a downtrend. This will not be challenged until the pair gets over current resistance at 1.3700 followed by further resistance at 1.3800.  The trendline approximately intersects this level.   False breakout are a high probability.  A break above 1.3700 accompanied by a pullback and then a renewed push higher would provide further confirmation of a continued upward correction.  Interim resistance comes in at 1.3740-50 and 1.3780.”

Significant support on the downside remains between 1.3460-1.3430.   Levels between this and 1.3700 are not high probability support/resistance levels.  A break below indicates another leg down.
