EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1692; (P) 1.1730 (R1) 1.1781;
EUR/USD’s rebound extends today and intraday bias stays mildly on the upside. While further rally could be seen, upside should be limited by 1.1851 to complete the consolidation pattern. On the downside, below 1.1679 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for retesting 1.1507 low first.
In the bigger picture, EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. And, a medium term top was formed at 1.2555 already. Decline from there should extend further to 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186 and below. For now, even in case of rebound, we won’t consider the fall from 1.2555 as finished as long as 1.1995 resistance holds.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1603; (P) 1.1621; (R1) 1.1644;
Intraday bias in EUR?CHF remains neutral at this point as upside was limited below 1.1656 resistance. On the upside, break of 1.1656 will resume the corrective rise from 1.1366 short term bottom. EUR/CHF should target 61.8% retracement of 1.2004 to 1.1366 at 1.1760. But we would expect strong resistance from there to limit upside. We’d still expect at least one more falling leg before the correction from 1.2004 completes. On the downside, break of 1.1478 will turn bias to the downside for 1.1366 first.
In the bigger picture, EUR/CHF was solidly rejected by prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000. Considering bearish divergence condition in daily and weekly MACD, 1.2004 should be a medium term top. And price action from 1.2004 is correcting the up trend from 1.0629. Such correction is expected to extend for a while and therefore, we’re not anticipating a break of 1.2004 in near term. Another decline cannot be ruled out yet. But in that case, strong support should be seen at 1.1198 (2016 high), 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154 to contain downside.
