Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Weekly Price & Time: Looking For Reversal in Trend Next Week

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • EUR/USD remains in a sideways to higher range above the 4th square root relationship of the year’s low near 1.3520
  • Our broader bias is negative on the Euro while below 1.3675
  • A daily close under 1.3520 is needed to confirm a resumption of the broader decline
  • A turn window of importance in the euro is seen over the next few days
  • A move through 1.3675 is needed to shift the broader trend bias to positive

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while under 1.3675, but will look to stop & reverse if 1.3675 is breached.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Weekly Price & Time: Looking For Reversal in Trend Next Week

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

  • USD/JPY has come under renewed downside pressure this week to once again test the 4th square root relationship of the year's high near 101.35
  • Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 102.80
  • A close under 101.35 should signal a resumption of the broader decline
  • Some caution is needed here as a turn window is eyed over the next few days
  • Only strength over 102.80 will turn us positve on USD/JPY

Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like tactical short positions in USD/JPY while below 102.80. Will look to stop & reverse if that level is overcme.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: GOLD

  • XAU/USD is in consolidation mode below a key Gann confluence in the 1321 area
  • Our broader trend bias is higher in the metal
  • A daily close over 1321 is needed to set off the next leg higher in the metal
  • A turn window is eyed over the next few days
  • A daily close under 1286 would turn us negative on Gold again

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Square around this turn window.
