DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 22 Dec 2017 06:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1839
Despite yesterday's sideways swings below Wed's 2-week high of 1.1902, intra-day brief but sharp selloff to 1.1817 at Asian open in pre-holiday thin trading in delayed reaction to early news of election win by Catalan separatists suggests upmove from 1.1718 (December low) has made a temporary top and choppy consolidation is in store ahead of long X'mas weekend holiday.

As long as 1.1875/80 holds, stronger retracement to 1.1806 and possibly towards 1.1776/77 mat be seen whilst a firm break above 1.1880 signals pullback from 1.1902 is over and brings re-test of this res, then later to 1.1930/40.

Euro area countries will release some eco. data but market focus is obviously reaction from Europe players on the election win by Catalan separatists, so keep your powder dry and be nimble and be quick when European markets open at 07:00GMT (however, European early birds may start trading around 06:30GMT).

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 27 Dec 2017 05:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1860
Despite euro's intra-day sideways swings following early retreat from last week's high at 1.1902 (Wednesday) to 1.1817 on Friday, as long as said reaction low holds, consolidation with upside bias remains for re-test of 1.1902, break would extend erratic upmove from 1.1718 (Dec low) to 1.1930/40, however, reckon November's peak at 1.1961 should cap upside.

On the downside, only below 1.1817 risks stronger retracement of said upmove to 1.7767/77 before prospect of rebound later this week.

No key eco. data is due out today n with many banks' trading books are closed for the year, year-end fund flows will definitely have a great impact on intra-day price moves.

Update Time: 29 Dec 2017 06:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1943
Yesterday's resumption of recent upmove to a 1-month high at 1.1959 (New York) due to broad-based usd's weakness suggests re-test of November's 2-month peak at 1.1961 would be forthcoming soon, break would encourage for subsequent headway towards 1.2000, however, near term loss of upward momentum should prevent strong gain and res at 1.2034 should cap upside.

Only below 1.1910 (previous res, now sup) confirms temporary top is in place and risks stronger retracement to 1.1879/81 but reckon sup at 1.1847 should hold from here and yield another leg of upmove next week.

EUR/USD - 1.2012
Euro's rally last Friday above November's 2-month top at 1.1961 to as high as 1.2028 (New York) due to broad-based usd's weakness suggests recent upmove would resume after consolidation and yield marginal gain.

EUR/USD - 1.1943
Euro's decline on Tue from 1.1976 (Asia) to 1.1916 in New York due to broad-based selling of the euro as well as usd's strength on soaring U.S. yields confirms recent upmove has made a top at last Thursday's 3-1/2 month high at 1.2089 n as long as 1.1976 holds, downside bias remains for marginal weakness, however, loss of momentum should keep price above 1.1885.

On the upside, a daily close above 1.1976 needed to signal said decline has made a temporary low and outlook would turn bullish for subsequent headway towards 1.2021.

Eco. data in the euro area is very light with France's industrial production being the only data due out, so funds flow will have a greater influence on intra-day price swings during European trading.
