EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1655; (P) 1.1700 (R1) 1.1740;
No change in EUR/USD’s outlook. While corrective rise from 1.1509 might extend higher, we’d expect strong resistance from 1.1822/1995 resistance zone to limit upside and bring fall resumption eventually. On the downside, below 1.1617 minor support will bring retest of 1.1509 low first. Break will resume the decline from 1.2555 and target 50% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1447. Break will target 61.8% retracement at 1.1186 next.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that 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.
USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2898; (P) 1.2934; (R1) 1.2968;
USD/CAD is staying in range of 1.2817/3046 and intraday bias remains neutral first. As long as 1.2728 support holds, we’ll stay slightly bullish in the pair and expect further rally. Above 1.3046 will resume the rise from 1.2526 and target 1.3124 high next. Nonetheless, break of 1.2728 will indicate completion of the rebound from 1.252. And in that case, deeper fall would be seen back to 1.2526 and below.
In the bigger picture, we’re favoring the case that that rebound from 1.2061 has not completed yet. But there is no follow through upside momentum so far. Focus remains on 38.2% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3065. Sustained trading above there will confirm medium term bullish reversal. That is, down trend from 1.4689 has completed at 1.2061 already. In that case, next target will be 61.8% retracement at 1.3685. However, break of 1.2526 support will dampen this bullish view again. And, focus will be back on 1.2061 key support level, which is close to 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048.
