EUR/USD - 1.3451… Although euro cross gained at Mon open esp vs yen with the cross pair rising to a fresh 21-month peak of 122.91, euro remained flat vs the dlr in Asia n then fell to 1.3425 in European morning on broad-based profit taking after Fri’s resumption of MT upmove to a near 11-month high at 1.3480.
Y’day’s move inside a narrow 1.2425-78 range suggests initial consolidation wud continue in Asia n as long as aforesaid reaction low at 1.3425 holds, outlook remains mildly bullish for euro’s MT uptrend fm 2012 low at 1.2042 (Jul) to re-test chart obj. at 1.3486 (2012 peak), however, as hourly oscillators wud display prominent ‘bearish divergences’ on next rise, the much-publicised option barrier at 1.3500 may be a tough nut to crack n risk has increased for a correction to occur later. On the upside, abv 1.3500 wud encourage for gain to next daily obj. at 1.3550, then twd 1.3645 (100% proj. of 1.2661-1.3308 fm 1.2998).
Today, we’re holding a long position in anticipation of marginal headway twd 1.3500 n only a daily close below 1.3404 confirms temp. top is made, then nr term outlook wud turn ‘bearish’ for retracement to 1.3349 n possibly twd 1.3257.
