EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1562; (P) 1.1626; (R1) 1.1667;
Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains neutral at this point. As long as 1.1529 minor support holds, another rise cannot be ruled out. However, in that case, we’d continue to expect strong resistance from 38.2% retracement of 1.2555 to 1.1300 at 1.1779 to limit upside, at least on first attempt, to bring near term reversal. On the downside, break of 1.1529 minor will indicate completion of the rebound and turn bias to the downside for retesting 1.1300 low. After all, consolidation from 1.1300 will likely extend for a while before completion.
In the bigger picture, a medium term bottom should be in place at 1.1300, on bullish convergence condition in daily MACD and some consolidations would be seen. But still, note that EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. That carries some long term bearish implications. Thus, we’d expect fall from 1.2555 high to resume after consolidation completes. Below 1.1300 should send EUR/USD through 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186. And, in that case, EUR/USD would head to retest 1.0339 (2017 low).
USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2979; (P) 1.3034; (R1) 1.3097;
Intraday bias in USD/CAD remains mildly on the upside for the moment. Sustained break of near term channel resistance (now at 1.3096) will be the first sign of bullish reversal and bring stronger rise to 1.3173 resistance for confirmation. That will also carry larger bullish implication. Meanwhile, below 1.2997 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 1.2879 fibonacci level.
In the bigger picture, focus is now on 38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3385 at 1.2879. Decisive break there will affirm the case of medium term reversal and target 61.8% retracement at 1.2567 and below. That will also put key long term support at 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048 into focus. On the upside, break of 1.3173 resistance will revive the bullish case and target 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3685 and above.
