Forex: Euro, Pound & Yen

The Euro is headed for another test of resistance at $1.35. Breakout would signal an initial advance to $1.40. Recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero would signal a primary up-trend.

* Target calculation: 1.35 + ( 1.35 – 1.30 ) = 1.40

Pound Sterling displays a similar pattern, testing resistance at $1.60. Recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero signals a primary up-trend. Initial target for the breakout would be $1.64.

GBP/USD

* Target calculation: 1.60 + ( 1.60 – 1.56 ) = 1.64

The Greenback  is retracing against the Japanese Yen, testing medium-term support at ¥82. A short retracement is likely and respect of support at ¥82 would signal another strong advance.

Forex: Euro, Pound & Yen

The Euro is undecided about its recent show of strength and is likely to re-test medium-term support at $1.30. Failure of $1.30 would complete a head and shoulders pattern, visible on the Daily chart (shoulders at $1.33), testing primary support at $1.26. But recovery above $1.33 remains as likely and would signal another test of $1.35.

Pound Sterling is testing resistance at $1.60 and recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero would indicate a primary up-trend. Confirmation would only come, however, from breakout above $1.62.

The Greenback is retracing to find support after a strong advance against the Yen over the last 6 weeks. Respect of support at ¥80 would confirm a healthy primary up-trend.

Forex: Euro, Pound Sterling and Yen

The euro is weakening against the greenback, testing medium-term support at $1.30. Failure would indicate a test of primary support at $1.26 and continuation of the down-trend. Respect is unlikely, but would suggest a test of the declining trendline.

Euro/USD

* Target calculation: 1.26 – ( 1.35 – 1.26 ) = 1.17

Pound Sterling rallied against the Aussie Dollar, testing the new resistance level at $1.50. The down-trend is likely to continue and breach of the rising trendline would warn of another decline, with an immediate target of $1.42*.

Forex: Euro and Yen weaken while Rand recovers

The Euro is retreating to test medium-term support at $1.30 on the weekly chart. Failure would mean a fall to primary support at $1.25/$1.26. 63-Day Twiggs Momentum holding below zero reinforces the primary down-trend.

EURUSD

* Target calculation: 1.25 – ( 1.35 – 1.25 ) = 1.15

Pound Sterling is ranging between $1.5650 and $1.6000 against the greenback. Upward breakout would signal a primary up-trend but 63-Day Twiggs Momentum below zero continues to warn of the opposite.

GBPUSD

The dollar respected the new support level at 80 Japanese Yen. Breakout above ¥82 would confirm the primary up-trend, with an initial target of ¥85.

USDJPY

* Target calculation: 80 + ( 80 – 75 ) = 85

The Aussie Dollar continues to test support at R8.00 South African Rand. Failure would offer an initial target of R7.50, at the rising trendline. Momentum is falling sharply and reversal of 63-day Twiggs Momentum below zero would warn of a primary down-trend.

Forex: Europe and Japan

The Euro is in a primary down-trend despite the latest rally, headed for a test of the descending trendline. Expect retracement to test support at $1.32; breach of $1.30 would warn of another test of primary support (at $1.26).

Euro/US Dollar

* Target calculation: 1.32 – ( 1.42 – 1.32 ) = 1.22

Pound Sterling broke its descending trendline several weeks ago and is headed for a test of resistance at $1.62. Upward breakout is unlikely at present, but recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero would be a bullish sign.

Pound Sterling/USD

The US Dollar is retracing to test the new support level after breaking long-term resistance at 80 Japanese Yen. Recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero, after a long-term bullish divergence, indicates a primary up-trend. Expect a test of the 2011 high at ¥85.

Forex: Euro slides on Greek turmoil

The euro retreated below $1.32 USD; failure of support at $1.30 would indicate another test of primary support at $1.26. And breakout below primary support would signal a decline to $1.20*.

Euro

* Target calculation: 1.26 – ( 1.32 – 1.26 ) = 1.20

Pound Sterling is retreating on the weekly chart. Respect of the zero line by 63-day Twiggs Momentum warns of another test of primary support at $1.53.

Canada’s Loonie respected resistance at $1.01 and is likely to re-test its rising trendline. Recovery above $1.01 is uncertain but would signal a primary up-trend.

Loonie

* Target calculation: 1.01 + ( 1.01 – 0.96 ) = 1.06

The Aussie Dollar similarly respected resistance at $1.08 and is likely to test medium-term support and the rising trendline at $1.04. Breakout above $1.08 would indicate a primary up-trend; confirmed if 63-day Momentum respects the zero line (from above).

Aussie Dollar

* Target calculation: 1.08 + ( 1.08 – 0.96 ) = 1.20

The US Dollar found support at R7.50 South African Rand. A rally that respects the descending trendline, however, would warn of continuation of the primary down-trend. Fall of 63-day Twiggs Momentum below zero would strengthen the bear signal.

US Dollar/South African Rand

The greenback is strengthening against the Japanese Yen. Breach of the descending trendline indicates that a bottom is forming. And breakout above ¥80 would signal the start of a primary up-trend — confirming the long-term bullish divergence on 63-day Twiggs Momentum.

Forex: Euro weak while Aussie strengthens

The euro is testing resistance around $1.32 but the primary down-trend is strong. With 63-day Twiggs Momentum deep below zero, expect another test of primary support at $1.26. Breakout remains likely and would offer a target of $1.20*.

Euro/USD

* Target calculation: 1.26 – ( 1.32 – 1.26 ) = 1.20

The Aussie dollar has surged ahead of the CRB Commodities Index which it tracks quite closely. Breakout above $1.08 would signal a primary advance to $1.20*.

Australian Dollar/USD

Canada’s Loonie shows a similar pattern, testing resistance at $1.01. Breakout would offer a target of  $1.06*.

Canadian Dollar/USD

* Target calculation: 1.01 + ( 1.01 – 0.96 ) = 1.06

Pound Sterling followed through above the descending trendline, indicating that the primary down-trend is over. Recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero would strengthen the signal. Only a breakout above 41.62, however, would signal the start of a primary up-trend.

Pound Sterling/USD


The greenback continues to test support at ¥76. Breakout would signal another decline, this time with a target of ¥72*. Long-term bullish divergence on 63-day Twiggs Momentum, however, indicates that the down-trend is slowing; breach of the descending trendline would strengthen the signal. Recovery above ¥80 would signal a primary up-trend.

USD/Japanese Yen

* Target calculation: 76 – ( 80 – 76 ) = 72

The South African Rand unexpectedly broke downwards from its bullish ascending triangle against the Aussie Dollar; follow-through below R8.00 would signal a correction to R7.50 (and the long-term trendline).

* Target calculation: 1.32 – ( 1.42 – 1.32 ) = 1.22

Canada’s Loonie broke its descending trendline to suggest a base is forming, as oil prices strengthen. Breakout above $1.01 would indicate a primary advance to the August 2011 high of $1.06.

Canadian Dollar: CADUSD

* Target calculation: 1.01 + ( 1.01 – 0.95 ) = 1.07

* Target calculation: 1.32 – ( 1.42 – 1.32 ) = 1.22

Pound Sterling is testing primary support at $1.54, while 63-day Twiggs Momentum is below zero. Failure of support would signal a primary decline to $1.46.

Pound Sterling

* Target calculation: 1.54 – ( 1.62 – 1.54 ) = 1.46

The Aussie Dollar retreated below parity, indicating another test of medium term support at $0.97. Failure would test primary support at $0.94/$0.95. Respect of the zero line by 63-day Twiggs Momentum indicates a continuing primary down-trend. Weakening commodity prices, especially coal and iron ore, should strengthen the down-trend.

Australian Dollar

* Target calculation: 0.97 – ( 1.03 – 0.97 ) = 0.91

The Canadian Loonie is headed for a test of primary support at $0.94/$0.95. 63-Day Twiggs Momentum holding below zero suggests a continuing primary down-trend.

Canadian Dollar

* Target calculation: 0.95 – ( 1.00 – 0.95 ) = 0.90

A monthly chart of the Greenback against the Yen shows strong bullish divergence on 63-day Twiggs Momentum, suggesting reversal of the primary down-trend. Breakout above ¥80 and the descending trendline would confirm the signal.

Japanese Yen

The US Dollar continues in a strong up-trend against both the South African Rand and Brazilian Real, helped by falling commodity prices. Breakout above R8.60 would signal a further advance to R9.20.

Forex update

The euro is likely to re-test primary support at $1.32 against the greenback. Declining 63-day Twiggs Momentum, below zero, warns of continuation of the primary down-trend. Breach of support would indicate a primary decline to $1.22*.

EURUSD

* Target calculation: 1.32 – ( 1.42 – 1.32 ) = 1.22

Sterling rallied off primary support at $1.53/$1.54 against the greenback but 63-day Twiggs Momentum again warns of a primary down-trend. Failure of support would offer a target of $1.46*.

GBPUSD

* Target calculation: 1.53 – ( 1.60 – 1.53 ) = 1.46

Canada’s Loonie is headed for another test of resistance at $1.01 against the greenback. Declining 63-day Twiggs Momentum, however, continues to warn of a primary down-trend. Respect of resistance is likely, and would signal another test of primary support at $0.95. Declining commodity prices also favor a down-trend.

CADUSD

* Target calculation: 0.95 – ( 1.01 – 0.95 ) = 0.89

The Aussie Dollar appears stronger than the Loonie, which is unusual. Both are affected by commodity prices, but the Aussie tends to be more volatile  than its Canadian counterpart. Obviously, higher interest rates in the Southern hemisphere are an attraction. Again, 63-day Twiggs Momentum warns of a primary down-trend. And reversal below parity would warn of another test of primary support at $0.95.

AUDUSD

* Target calculation: 0.95 – ( 1.07 – 0.95 ) = 0.83

The greenback has strengthened sharply against the South African Rand and Brazilian Real. Both volatile, resource-rich currencies are likely to re-test their recent highs: the rand at R8.50 and the real at 1.90 against the dollar.

USDZAR

The greenback shows strong bullish divergence against Japan’s yen on 63-day Twiggs Momentum, warning of a reversal. Breach of the long-term descending trendline would strengthen the signal. Breakout above ¥80 would confirm.

USDJPY
