Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- EUR/USD failed earlier this week near the 50-day moving average in the 1.1100 area
- Our near-term trend bias is higher in the exchange rate while above 1.0920
- A daily close above 1.1100 is needed to re-instill upside mometum into the euro
- A very minor turn window is seen tomorrow
- A close back below1.0920 would turn us negative again on EUR/USD
EUR/USD Strategy: Square.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
EUR/USD | 1.0870 | *1.0920 | 1.0965 | 1.1040 | *1.1100 |
Price & Time Analysis: S&P 500
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- S&P 500 found support earlier this week at the 2nd square root relationship of the year’s low near 2065
- Our near-term trend bias is positive while above this level
- Immediate resistance is seen around 2108 ahead of the all-time high
- A minor turn window is eyed here
- A daily close below 2065 would turn us negative on the index
S&P 500 Strategy: Like buying on weakness against 2065.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
S&P 500 | *2065 | 2100 | 2105 | 2108 | *2135 |
Focus Chart of the Day: NZD/USD
NZD/USD has turned down again on further reports of lower Chinese demand for milk powder. The failure Wednesday to close above last week’s high around .6700 keeps the Kiwi in a negative position and vulnerable to a downside resumption. The trendline connecting the April/June highs near .6615 is now an important near-term downside pivot with a daily close below this level needed to confirm such a shift lower. The extreme negative sentiment recently recorded on the Daily Sentiment Index (DSI) suggests a more material upside correction should eventually play out in NZD/USD, but perhaps the exchange rate first needs to re-test the recent lows or even visit the 61.8% retracement of the 2009-2011 advance near .6400? A successful hold of .6615 followed by a move through .6700 would signal a more material correction is already starting to unfold.
