Weekly Technical Strategist: EURUSD

EURUSD: With EUR reversing almost all of its three-week gains to close lower the past week ,it faces the risk of declining further in the new week. This will open the door for more weakness towards the 1.3003 level, its Mar 15'2012 low. This is coming on the back of a violation of the 1.3134 level. On further weakness, the 1.2975 level will be aimed at followed by the 1.2879 level, its Jan 23’2011 low. Its weekly RSI is bearish and pointing lower suggesting further weakness. On the other hand, to annul its present downside pressure, the pair will have to break and hold above the 1.3387 level. This will leave the pair targeting the 1.3484 level with a cut through here pushing the pair further higher towards its Dec 02’2011 high at 1.3547. Further out, price extension if seen will aim at its weekly 200 ema at 1.3642. All in all, EUR remains biased to the downside having continued to maintain a nearer term bearish tone.

Dollar Index: Maintains Its Broader Uptrend Above Rising Trendline.

US Dollar Index: Although the Index is backing off higher prices and vulnerable to the downside, it continues to hold on to its broader medium term upside. As long as it continues to trade and hold above its medium term rising trendline(blue)presently at the 78.52 level, its outlook remains higher with eyes on the 80.73 level. A violation of here will call for a run at the 81.78 level, its Jan 2012 high. A breather may occur here but if that level breaks, further upside offensive should build up towards the 83.55 level, its Aug’2011 high and possibly higher towards the 84.55 level. Alternatively, on any pullbacks, its rising trendline currently seen at 78.70 level will be targeted followed by its Feb 06’2012 low at 78.36 level with a breach turning attention to the 77.97 level and then the 76.71 level.

USDCHF – Outlook Lower While The 0.9331 Level Caps (Special Focus).

USDCHF: We continue to hold on to our broader downside bias on USDCHF although it is seen attempting a recovery higher. As long as the 0.9331 level remains as resistance, the pair’s weakness started from the 0.9591 level remains intact.

Further down, support comes in at the 0.8890 level, its Nov 03’2011 low where a breach will call for further declines towards the 0.8700 level, its psycho level.
