Little improvement saw the greenback this Tuesday despite up beating economic data in the US, with strong Durable goods orders, an increase in consumer confidence and New Home sales rising at its highest since 2008. US stocks ended up higher, erasing all of yesterday’s losses, which may be one of the reasons dollar refused to advance; gold on the other hand, trades near this month multi-low of $1275/oz, maintaining the strong bearish tone.
As for the EUR/USD, the hourly chart shows price consolidating below its 20 SMA and the 50% retracement of the latest bullish run at 1.3105, while indicators stand flat below their midlines. In the 4 hours chart, technical readings hold in negative territory, showing no strength either side of the board. The downside continues to be favored, although a break below 1.3060 this week low, is now required to confirm further slides in the pair.

The USD/JPY continues to stay too close to the 97.50 area to be able to define a trend, although short term technical readings present a slightly bullish stance, with 100 SMA heading north below current price and moving away from 200 one, while indicators stand above their midlines. Lack of follow through on dollar strength and rising stocks, confirms buyers are not around and risk remains to the downside, with a break below 96.80 now required to confirm a new leg down.
