EURUSD TECHS: Outlook Remains Bearish

Dec-16 06:08
  • RES 4: 1.0937 High Nov 5 / 6 and a key resistance  
  • RES 3: 1.0825 High Nov 7 
  • RES 2: 1.0673 50-day EMA
  • RES 1: 1.0552/0630 20-day EMA / High Dec 06
  • PRICE: 1.0518 @ 06:07 GMT Dec 16
  • SUP 1: 1.0425/0335 Low Nov 26 / 22 and the bear trigger   
  • SUP 2: 1.0311 1.382 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing
  • SUP 3: 1.0258 1.500 proj of the Sep 25 - Oct 23 - Nov 5 price swing  
  • SUP 4: 1.0201 61.8% retracement of the Sep 28 - Juk 18 bull leg     

EURUSD maintains a softer tone and gains are considered corrective. Resistance at 1.0552, the 20-day EMA, is intact. A close above this average would signal scope for a stronger corrective recovery towards 1.0673, the 50-day EMA. An extension higher would allow for a continued unwinding of the recent oversold condition. Support at 1.0461, the Dec 2 low, has been pierced. A clear break would expose 1.0335, the Nov 22 low and bear trigger.

BUND TECHS: (H5) Bear Cycle Remains In Play

Dec-16 06:00
  • RES 4: 137.72 High Oct 1 and a key resistance           
  • RES 3: 137.28 High Oct 2
  • RES 2: 136.52/137.18 High Dec 6 / 2 and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: 135.41/136.01 20-day EMA / High Dec 12                
  • PRICE: 134.52 @ 05:44 GMT Dec 16
  • SUP 1: 134.39 Low Dec 13 
  • SUP 2  134.98 61.8% retracement of the Nov 6 - Dec 2 bull cycle               
  • SUP 3: 133.62 Low Nov 22
  • SUP 4: 133.22 76.4% retracement of the Nov 6 - Dec 2 bull cycle  

The current bearish cycle in Bund futures remains in play and Friday’s extension signals scope for a continuation of the bear leg. Price is trading at its recent lows and sights are on 133.98, a Fibonacci retracement point. A break of this level would strengthen the current downleg. For bulls, a reversal higher would highlight the end of the correction. First key resistance is 136.01, the Dec 12 high.
