EURUSD TECHS: Bearish Outlook

Oct-23 05:25
  • RES 4: 1.1040 High Oct 4    
  • RES 3: 1.0983 50-day EMA  
  • RES 2: 1.0939 20-day EMA
  • RES 1: 1.0874 High Oct 17 
  • PRICE: 1.0806 @ 06:22 BST Oct 23
  • SUP 1: 1.0778 Low Aug 1 and a key support
  • SUP 2: 1.0746 76.4% retracement of the Apr - Sep bull leg 
  • SUP 3: 1.0710 Low Jul 2
  • SUP 4: 1.0666 Low Jun 26   

A bear cycle in EURUSD remains in play and the latest sell-off reinforces this theme. Sights are on 1.0778, the Aug 1 low and the next key support. Clearance of this level would strengthen the downtrend and open 1.0746, a Fibonacci retracement. Note that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position highlighting a downtrend. Initial firm resistance is at 1.0939 the 20-day EMA. Gains would be considered corrective.

US TSYS: Futures Weaker, No Cash Trading Due To Japan Holiday

Sep-23 05:21

TYZ4 is trading at 114-20, -0-07 from NY closing levels. 

  • There has been no cash trading for US tsys in today's Asia-Pac session due to a holiday in Japan.
  • Newsflow has also been light so far today, leaving Asia-Pac market participants to digest Friday’s conflicting Fedspeak.
  • Fed Governor Bowman (voter) issued a statement on Friday explaining why she dissented against the FOMC’s decision to cut the Fed Funds target range by 50bps last Wednesday. Her comments were in contrast to Governor Waller’s remarks in a CNBC interview, which were concerned with risks of inflation undershooting.
  • Projected rate cuts into early 2025 bounced off early session lows on Friday, with the latest vs. late Thursday levels (*) as follows: Nov'24 cumulative -37.8bp (-35.9bp), Dec'24 -75.0bp (-72.4bp), Jan'25 -108.5bp (-106.5bp).
  • Looking ahead to today’s US calendar, we will see more Fedspeak from Bostic, Goolsbee and Kashkari, alongside data including flash PMI data from S&P Global.
