Euro / US Dollar[/B]
Bullish structure has held and the EURUSD is breaking to new highs. Price is approaching the 200 day SMA but there is no chart resistance until 1.3586. Keep risk to 1.3251 although at this point, price should not come near that level. In the event of a setback, 1.3350-1.3390 is potential support. The objective remains above 1.3742 and in the 1.4100-1.4200 area.

British Pound / US Dollar[/B]
Cable continues to advance as well. Staying above 1.4776 keeps bulls in control and Cable on a path towards 1.5378 and perhaps 1.5728 (200 day SMA near there as well). Short term support is at 1.4950.
[B]
Australian Dollar / US Dollar[/B]
The rally from .6953 is wave v of C and the objective at .7630 was nearly reached this morning (which is where wave v of C would equal wave i of C). This is close to the 50% of the decline from .9822. Divergence with RSI warns of a top within the next few weeks. Short term structure does not look complete but the rally is in its final stages.

New Zealand Dollar / US Dollar[/B]
I wrote yesterday that “on the daily today, I am highlighting how wave C of an A-B-C advance from the low may be underway. Under this count, the NZDUSD would exceed .60 and potentially reach .6340 or .6740 in the next few months.” Having broken the wave A high today, this count is confirmed. .6340 is the objective and there is potential support at .5850. Price should remain above .5782.
[B]
US Dollar / Japanese Yen[/B]
The long term trend remains down and I expect a resumption of that trend although there is near term upside potential. A potential head and shoulders top that is evident. Coming back beneath the 200 day SMA would begin to suggest that the decline has resumed.
[B]
US Dollar / Canadian Dollar[/B]
A larger USDCAD decline is underway towards 1.1359 and perhaps even lower. Near term, 5 waves down from 1.2510 may be near completion. As such, there is risk of a correction, back to at least 1.1830. If a correction plays out, then we’ll have a shorting opportunity. Notice RSI on this chart, which warns of a bounce.
[B]
US Dollar / Swiss Franc[/B]
The USDCHF decline is also likely to extend. 1.0925 is the 61.8% of the advance from 1.0367 and potential support. Staying below 1.1421 keeps the pair on a path lower. 1.1315-1.1350 is resistance in the event of a corrective bounce.
