EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2236; (P) 1.2285 (R1) 1.2318;
Intraday bias in EUR/USD stays on the downside for 1.2238 support first. Break will target 1.2154 support and below. Such development would confirm the rejection by 1.2516 key fibonacci resistance and pave the way to 38.2% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1708. However, break of 1.2344 minor resistance will dampen this bearish case and turn bias back to the upside for 1.2475 resistance instead.
In the bigger picture, key fibonacci level at 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516 remains intact despite attempts to break. Hence, rise from 1.0339 medium term bottom is still seen as a corrective move for the moment. Rejection from 1.2516 will maintain long term bearish outlook and keep the case for retesting 1.0039 alive. Firm break of 1.1553 support will add more medium term bearishness. However, sustained break of 1.2516 will carry larger bullish implication and target 61.8% retracement of 1.6039 to 1.0339 at 1.3862 in medium term.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1763; (P) 1.1784; (R1) 1.1816;
EUR/CHF’s rise from 1.1445 resumed by edging higher to 1.1804 and intraday bias is mildly on the upside. For now, we’d stay cautious on strong resistance from 1.1832 to bring reversal. Below 1.1730 will turn bias to the downside first. Further break of 1.1649 support will indicate completion of rebound form 1.1445. And the corrective pattern from 1.1832 would then extend with another decline to retest 1.1445. However, firm break of 1.1832 will confirm resumption of larger up trend.
In the bigger picture, a medium term top should be in place at 1.1832 on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. But there is no indication of long term reversal yet. As long as 1.1198 resistance turned support holds, we’d still expect another rise through prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000.
