Update Time: [B]29 Aug 2017[/B] [I]05:35 GMT[/I]

EUR/USD - 1.1968
Euro’s intra-day marginal gain above Monday’s fresh 30-mnth peak at 1.1983 to 1.1985 in Australia due to selloff in usd/jpy suggests price would extend recent upmove towards ‘psychological’ level at 1.2000 after consolidation.
However, loss of upward momentum would prevent strong rise and reckon 1.2030/35 should remain intact.

On the downside, only below 1.1918 would indicate temporary top has been made and may risk stronger retracement to 1.1880/90 later before prospect of a rebound.

Pay attention to release of German Gfk consumer confidence at European open and then later France’s consumer spending and Q2 GDP.

On the upside, a daily close above 1.1927 signals 1st leg of correction is over and brings a much-needed recovery towards 1.1965 but res at 1.1995 should cap euro’s upside.

Euro’s anticipated rally to 1.1988 last Fri confirms 1st leg of correction from September’s 30-month peak at 1.2093 has ended earlier at 1.1839 (Thur) and subsequent retreat would bring consolidation before marginal gain to 1.1995, near term ‘loss of momentum’ would cap price below res at 1.2029.

On the downside, only a daily close below 1.1902 sup suggests said corrective rise has ended and bring weakness to 1.1867, then re-test of 1.1839.

Despite euro’s gain to 1.2005 in Europe last Friday, subsequent weakness to 1.1938 in New York, then intra-day gap down to 1.1897 after Sunday’s inconclusive election win by Germany’s Merkel suggests price would continue to ‘gyrate’ inside recent 1.1839-1.2034 broad range.
