EUR/USD Around Bearish Trendline - May 01, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

The EUR/USD pair is about to reach 1.32. It is necessary to consider the speech of ECB president Mario Draghi announced the monetary policy of the state on Thursday. This may be decisive for the future of the Euro.

In technical terms the euro is trading far below the downtrend line, but according to Momentum indicators and Range provides the bearish signals and a possible imminent correcion. On the other hand if the euro would break the downtrend line and the negotiation of today closed above the 1.3280 level. This fact points that the euro continued its upward trend to 1.3370; therefore selling is recommended at 1.3240 level.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis 2012-05-02

The spot rate is getting closer to the lower limit of its medium term bullish channel at 1.6190 making a rebound possible. However, a puncture of this level will release good potential and initiate a bearish channel.

Technical indicators give buy-signals supporting the assumption of a retracement soon. Bollinger bands have greatly tightened in recent days showing a slow down of the volatility and the imminence of a violent movement.

According to previous events the market will give a bullish opportunity at the level of 1.6190 with the 1st objective at 1.6250 and then at 1.6270. A break through 1.6170 will alter this scenario.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis and Linear Regression Channels for May 11, 2012

Considering the Hourly chart of the GBP/USD currency pair:

We can see that the Linear Regression channels depicted above are contradictory as the violet & blue ones are bullish. However, the Yellow channel is bearish indicating the longer-term bearish tendency of the pair.

The Bearish Reaction towards the upper limits of the Violet, Blue & Yellow channels at 1.6180 shouldn't be ignored as it favours the bearish view for the pair.

The GBP/USD pair had a significant Intraday Support Level located around 1.6125 corresponding to the lower limit of the Violet channel & the mid-line of the Yellow one which got broken few hours ago.

Retesting of the backside of the broken Violet channel at 1.6125 will probably be a valid SELL entry with TP levels located at 1.6095,1.6065 & 1.6035.

SL should be located above 1.6175.

EUR/USD Buy Avobe Fractal 1.2767 - May 15, 2012 (Daily Strategy)

This morning during the American session, the euro fell sharply around the second weekly support area mainly due to the problems in Greece as the political parties fail to agree on a coalition government which in turn caused a strong opposition to the austerity measures demanded by the country's multilateral lenders.

On a technical level we observe a very strong fractal formed at the level of 1.2767; this dynamic fractal serves as a support level. We believe that this level around the fractal is a good place to go with the upward bounce of the pair or for conservative ones; we can enter by buying only if price closes today's session above 1.2801 weekly support; our goal therefore will be placed over the last gap in 1.3123

The indicator range is showing strong oversold level. The correction of the euro is expected in the nearest future.
