USD/JPY achieved target of 118.80 from 119.40 last evening.
Gold is taking some heat. We give it between now and the end of January to makes it mark in the sand and make its ascend much, much, much higher. For those not long yet, you can either buy low or buy high. GL

Aussie @ 0.7847/51....Trend Reversal in the offing?
R: 0.7860 / 0.7877
S: 0.7824 / 0.7800
The Aussie continued with its sharp selloff, which started at 0.7982 yesterday. It has hit a low of 0.7828 so far in the day. It is currently trading at the Trendline Support at 0.7850 mentioned in the morning, but still way below the statistically projected Max Low for the day of 0.7877, signifying further downside momentum. A Day Close below 0.7850 could signal a trend reversal, targeting 0.7700

NZD/USD needs to hold above 0.6927 technical level to prevent further slump, says RBC Capital Markets currency strategist Sue Trinh; adds break of this level would further trigger exit of momentum accounts. Notes with carry trades coming under pressure, Kiwi also weakens vs JPY; NZD/JPY last 83.03, down 2% from this week's 84.70 peak; NZD/USD 0.6977, off 1.7% from 0.7098 peak reached Tuesday

before the release of ADP survey wish showed yesterday a surprising negative print of 40.000 units ( against exp of + 120.000) the NFP were expected to add 120.000/130.000 new workers. Now there is more uncertainty as somebody lowered this expection to 50.000/70.000 but some continues to see still a number above the 100.000 units.

Oily Boily, you are confusing me, you frist told us that e/j was still in bullish mode, than you told us that you shorted in front of 158, and than you tell us that the carry trades are somewhat unfold?
Tell me what you mean, is the e/j going down from here more and "carry" us back to the 14725 what supposed to be my year high, or that we are going to 160-185 that you where mentioning before?

E/J instead of telling upfront in where it is going we just have to face the facts, and those facts are that i did not see a fast 50+ bounce today at the 15602 low.... like we saw the last few months.
To go down more we first need some pips up..
Shorters dont want to see 15680+

Short term view: nzd/usd pair is on a correction with several key support points taken out already. Support (6960-70) is still hanging on as the indicators reach an O/S levels. Next support levels are 6940-50, 6860-70 and main support 6815-25 for now. Resistance levels are 7000-10 and 7050-60 for now as well. It is still buy on failed dips until the main support is taken out IMHO. Peace and GT

Short term view: eur/usd pair is testing the main support now but no break has happened yet with indicators in the O/S area. Resistance levels are 3145-55, 3175-85 and 3205-15 area for now. Under the main support the next significant support is around the 3030-40, 2920-30 and 2820-30 IMHO. Peace and GT

Eur/Usd...fwiw...According to my charts, the short-term uptrend has now rolled over into yet another Bearish Channel. The channel falls between the high of Dec. 8 and the low of Dec 18. The market, as before, will probably range in this channel for a few weeks before another surge to the upside. With the downmove of the last two days, we might see a bounce from the Channel Support line, which tomorrow comes in at 1.3014. A persuasive break of that level, however, would look for more USD strength up to the 1.2800 area....Just my view....GL/GT

Caribbean! Rafe... 17:27 GMT January 4, 2007 Reply   
Euro 13120 will only sustain temporarily until downside pressure forces it backdown a little more... it's better to sell rather than buy for this week imo. right now 13125 is resistance 13172 is stiff resistance.

I personally think euro has more downside potential for now than upside, next week might be a long, i usually know over the weekends.

EURO-DOLLAR: Seeing choppy trade as the pair flits between $1.3085 ish
and $1.3100 area, unable to quite reach morning lows seen earlier in the
day as chatter emerges of Asian name demand at those lows, underpinning
the pair ahead of reported stops. That said, backfilling chatter from
another direction cites the same Asian name as a hefty euro seller in
European morning trade, keeping the pair rolling lower ahead of the U.S.
market opening. French and German names linked to the recent rebound to
above $1.3100 but model accounts said to have slapped the pair back down
again.

JPY experienced broad gains via the crosses amid a broad based reduction in carry trades. A rise in risk premiums and volatility fueled sell signals on a number of models. This encouraged aggressive hedge fund selling and
the deep correction prompted momentum and leverage fund activity.

Congrats to anyone that has the balls to go long at these levels they deserve the money if it does hit 120+. I just think with it being such a psychological barrier there is going to be alot of profit taking.

hi my frd i was long on usd yen at 119,30 since yesterday afternoon hoping that the close above last top at 119,23/28 cud help the greenback to launch another assault to the 119,80/90. This morning we saw another dive for eurusd, followed by another big drop in euryen so basically usd yen didn t rececive any help to break again 119,50. For this reason i agree on second part of ur post, i took a very minimal profit on my pos and tried to go short here at 119,33 and in case of break of 119,20 i will add anything to my pos with sl at 120.10 now and target at 117,80. Appreciate ur comment thks

Let's say USD/JPY does hit 120, then what? It's been moving straight up since 115 without the slightest of pit stops. I would take profits here if I were long. Who cares about another 50 pips or so. Too risky to be long IMO.

There was talk in early Asia that central banks have been buying the AUD/USD on dips and have absorbed some hefty selling flows from macro-funds responding to the slide in copper and other base metals.

The bids ahead of 0.7900 with stops building below 0.7880 have been killed since.

The 0.7905 level is the 38.2 fibo of the 0.7780 (December
low)/0.7983 move and a break below would suggest that a top is in place at 0.7983.

The market has underestimated the Fed`s resolve to hold the inflation line but equally the reduced ability of the US economy to produce efficiency savings from technology advances. I believe the US cannot sustain the high GDP levels of the past decade without producing higher inflation.
The US economy is or has shrugged of the residential property problems much as did the UK and Australia. Maybe I`m bit premature on that, nevertheless cable and euro look to go lower and if the NFP comes in above 100k watch out then its back to mid November in late January.

Gold Coast Martin appreciate your view on this article .

EURUSD – As we have concentrated on here in the last few weeks, 5 waves up can be counted from the November 2005 low at 1.1640, which means downside risk is high. This morning’s weakness is impulsive and a break below 1.3200 would seriously damage the short term bullish structure. Until then, upside potential does remain. Still, 1.3200 looks especially attractive given the gap from 1.3204 to 1.3226 – which is at least partially filled (at approximately 5:40 am). Price action over the next day should clarify the short term picture. Remember, 1.3204 is the bearish pivot. 21 day momentum is in negative territory for the first time since late October (bearish).

Right the e/j made a lower low today, not that it matters anyway. question is if we can hit 15680-15661-15644-15621 and 15602, if not it will be a buy... appointment with 15680 for now still on. High my platty 15730, so on a slow day we might hit 15661 on a fast day 15621.

Sydney ACC 08:19 yes still talk of rate hikes

Monica Fan, global head of foreign exchange strategy at RBC Capital Markets declared, as trading got underway in earnest at the start of the new year: "Carry remains king."

For most low yielders, such as the Swiss franc and the Japanese yen, this means further weakness, and for most high yielders, such as the euro and the New Zealand and Australian dollars, this means more gains.

However, not everyone is completely comfortable with the performance of some of these currencies.

"While we are relaxed about Swiss franc weakness, we are becoming increasingly concerned by the weakness in the yen," said Phil Roberts, a technical strategist with Barclays Capital in London.

In the yen's case, it's not only signs of stretched positioning, but also rising speculation that the Bank of Japan may deliver a surprise rate hike later this month, which would help to reduce the currency's attraction as a way of funding investments in higher yielding assets.

It is the yen's decline against the New Zealand dollar that is of particular concern to some as the Japanese currency heads back to levels that brought a sharp reversal late last year.

"We are mindful of the NZD/JPY collapse at the end of 2005 and note that many of the characteristics experienced at the time are repeating and can also be seen in EUR/JPY," the Barclays Capital analyst said.

Thank you for the kind words. I hope everyone had a great and safe holidays. Now it is back to work. Short term view: Eur/usd pair seems to be in a range for now between the 3300 and 3050 area. For now some key supports have been taken out while the indicators unwind from the O/B areas but the main ones are still left (3130-40 and main support 3065-75). The market will be on standby while awaiting for Friday's news to come out. It is still buy on failed dips until the main support is taken out IMHO. Peace and GT

Korean consumer sentiment in December grows more pessimistic about economic prospects in coming 6 months, with index at 93.7 after pickup in November to 95.2 from October's 93.9; sub-100 reading means majority of respondents pessimistic. Sentiment unlikely to improve any time soon, with consumers losing faith in President Roh's administration, no stand-out candidate for presidential election in December, sliding JPY/KRW hurting exporter competitiveness vs Japanese products in global market.

Weak Aussie Data To Ease Hike Fears -CommSec
Australia's services industries went backward for 2nd straight month in December with PSI at 49.5 (below 50 level which indicates sector's contracting), just at slightly slower rate than November, CommSec's Craig James says. Contrary to anecdotal evidence, retail spending restrained in December, with CashCard index down 0.1%, auto sales down 7.7%. Notes markets pricing of rate hike this year likely to move lower and possibly suggest cuts in coming months if weakness in economic data continues.

Quick peek at USD/JPY for those who are trading it and look for patterns. 10 min and 30 min head and shoulder formation targeting 118.80 area. Gotta love the troops trying to keep Gold down but its hard when she is all fired up and ready to launch much higher. GL

EUR/JPY : The odds are in favour of maintaining a long position if the market can trade above 157.68. On the other hand when the market is rejected from the projected resistant level of 157.42 - 157.68, speculative selling pressure will increase.

morning guys, finally usdcad hit limit 1.1730, completely out of usdcad now with some nice pips
as for gbpusd, nice little narrow consolidation in the making now, hopefully followed with continuation down to 1.92 or even 1.90 as suggested by Qindex, stay with the winning formula, stop is still the same 1.9573 rigid
i think some trying to catch a falling knife yesterday will get injured today...

Melbourne Qindex,

Thanks a lot for the analysis. So a long on both the positions will be a favourable trade as at these levels 100 more pips is there for the upside. There does not seem a reason for chf to show any strength. Pls so comment. Thanks

EUR/USD : Speculative selling pressure will increase when the market momentum is strong enough to penetrate through the barrier 1.3136 - 1.3142.

South Korea's president said Wednesday the government will come up with stern measures this year to deal with the strengthening of the local currency, according to a speech published on the presidential office Web site.

The government has to come up with a long-term strategy to prevent foreign exchange rates from turning less favorable to local exporters, President Roh Moo-Hyun said.

He said the measures shouldn't burden local economic performance or hurt the country's trustworthiness, without elaborating.

Roh was speaking to some 240 prominent people from the government and the political worldat the presidential palace, the presidential office said on its Web site (www.president.go.kr).

Roh's comments come as the Japanese yen fell to another more-than-nine-year low against the Korean currency. At 0600 GMT Wednesday, the yen was quoted at KRW7.7955, its weakest level since KRW7.7144 on Oct. 27, 1997.

In 2006, the dollar-won exchange rate dropped 8.8%.

Local foreign exchange market traders said Roh's comments late Wednesday will likely support the dollar versus the won.

NZD/USD: Retreats From Highs After US Inv Bk Buying Slows
..the current environment shouldn"t be NZD supportive and analysts are a bit confused as to why the NZD is much stronger this morning on all of the crosses. The fall in commodity prices and the rise in the VIX index usually weigh on the NZD, but dips have been well supported by the
investment bank buying...

Melbourne Qindex,

What happens to gbp/chf after 2.4026, is that the key reversal point or do we have more upside on that, same question for eur/chf after 1.6183. Thanks Dr

========================


EUR/CHF : It will tackle the next target at [1.6238]*

GBP/CHF : The market is likely to consolidate between 2.4027 - 2.4088 before moving ahead towards 2.42 or retracing back to 2.38.
