EURUSD moves toward 38.2% retracement. Topside trendline also getting closer

Written January 27, 2012 at 1:47 PM EST by Greg Michalowski 

The EURUSD is approaching some upside targets for the pair.   The first is the underside of the trendline on the hourly chart above. That level comes in at the 1.3222 level currently. The next would be the 38.2% of the move down from the October 27th high. That level comes in at the 1.32429 level. Finally, the top channel trendline on the daily at the 1.3252 is also approaching.

With the days range for the EURUSD above the average range, I would expect that traders might look to take some profit against these levels before the weekend.

EURUSD makes new highs…

Written January 27, 2012 at 12:26 PM EST by Greg Michalowski 

The Friday afternoon squeeze is on as hopes for Greek solution and weaker GDP lead to the dollars decline.   In Greece the comment from a spokesperson is there is one step left for an agreement.  At the same time the word is a 2nd bailout may be coming from the EU but further funding from the EU is coming to an end.  Maybe the haircut will get them over the hump and they can fund addtional payments through positive cash flow and austerity measures, but if they can not, I do not think tapping the debt market will be an option.  The situation is still vague but the market is getting used to it and it may just be a big stall to allow banks more time to shore up balance sheets via the ECB version of QE.

Meanwhile, in the US, the market is realizing that the GDP was not all that great and with a dovish Bernanke/Fed  behind the wheel promoting a lower dollar and the potential for more QE, maybe that is the way to go.  The only thing missing today is a roaring stock market in the US.

UK Miles says presumptuos to think QE in Feb is a done deal

Written January 27, 2012 at 11:04 AM EST by Greg Michalowski 

  • QE will hinge on forecasts
  • He adds that there is substantial spare capacity in the UK economy.  This will persist into the future
  • CPI is on a pretty steep downward path
  • Confident it wil fall as forecast
  • Would be no great surprise if the UK suffers technical recesssion

I don’t know why given the above statements it would not be extended but I guess he can have his opinion.

As fast as the GBPUSD went down, the pair has retraced 50% . The 200 bar MA  and midpoint of the days range is the next target.
