EUR/USD - 1.3368 … The euro went through another ‘roller-coaster’ sess- ion y’day as despite initial rebound fm 1.3298 to 1.3347 in Asia, the pair fell briefly to 1.3286 in Europe on weak France PMIs b4 rebounding on better-than- expected eurozone PMIs. Price later rallied to 1.3393 in New York b4 easing.

Despite y’day’s cross-inspired rally fm 1.3286 to 1.3393 (eur/jpy jumped fm 117.58-121.06), breach of last Mon’s 10-month high of 1.3404 is needed to confirm MT uptrend fm 1.2042 has once again resumed n yield further gain to 1.3430 (equality projection of 1.2876-1.3308 fm 1.2998) n then twds prev. daily chart res at 1.3486 (Feb 12’ high), however, ‘bearish divergences’ on the daily oscillators shud prevent strg gain abv latter lvl n yield a correction later. Looking ahead, abv 1.3486 res wud extend said MT uptrend fm 1.2042 to retrace LT intermediate decline fm 1.4940 to 1.3833 (61.8% r) in Q1.

Today, we are cautiously holding a short position for another retreat but position traders shud look to buy on subsequent pullback in anticipation of a resumption of uptrend as 1.3257 (reaction low) is expected to remain intact.
