The dollar crosses remain in focus on the back of Friday’s weak U.S. retail sales print with the Dow Jones FXCM U.S. Dollar Index (Ticker: USDOLLAR) at risk for further losses. Keep in mind the monthly opening range remains intact and we’ll be looking for a break to validate our medium-term bias with key resistance eyed at 12020/28- bearish invalidation. A break below confluence support at 1190 targets subsequent support objectives at the monthly low (11881) & 11850/53. I’m holding an Aussie long from Asia trade with initial targets at 7687- the pair would need to breach slope resistance just higher to clear the way for the next leg higher. Kiwi & Euro are also of near-term interest to start the week.
Keep in mind we get CPI data this week from the UK, the U.S. and Canada with employment numbers also on tap from New Zealand & Australia. Key levels discussed on USDOLLAR, EURUSD, AUDUSD, AUDNZD, USDCAD, NZDUSD, EURGBP, Gold & Oil.
