Weekend Technical Analysis – Forex – July 25

Triangles in EUR/USD and GBP/USD are still intact somewhat.  Both are still within the larger Rising Wedges *Yellow dashes.  Every break above 1.4230 was sold into every time though managed to get above 1.4250 (which is a pretty good resistance level) multiple times.  Cable (GBP/USD) is up against stiffer resistance and looks to want to trade lower however.

USD/CAD still within the downward channel I drew out last week, Traded all the way down to 1.0793 where it bounced sharply.  1.08 was previous support from earlier June.  However I still think it goes lower perhaps down to 1.05 level.  It really depends on where crude wants to go.  Should crude continue its rally, look for USD/CAD to trade lower with it being that it is the inverse of the crude trade.

EUR/JPY , GBP/JPY finding strength with the equity rallying.  These two look toppy to me but who knows.  If you love volatility, GBP/JPY is your best friend.  Fortunes are made and lost in this pair.  Sometimes all within a day.

USD/JPY broke out of its downward spiral as expected this week, it close up against resistance.  There’s a Triangle forming on the hourly charts that point upward towards 95.70 level.

  EUR/USD made a major push this week and broke through 1.50 but was unable to close above there. Main support is still 1.4850 area for now but a daily close above 1.50 should bring euro bulls to the table. GBP/USD made a huge move which looked to me to be profit taking and/or [...]

  Dollar was sold off sharply on Friday sold the Dollar after the government reported a lower than estimated decline in 2nd Quarter GDP.  Today’s number suggests that the U.S. economy is closer to a recovery.  This triggered greater demand for higher risk, higher yielding assets. Month-end flows look to be the one of the driving [...]
