Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• 
  EUR/USD has come under steady downside pressure since peaking during an important cycle turn window at the start of the month near 1.4000
  


• 
  Our broader bias is negative on the Euro while below 1.3755
  


• 
  The 1.3520/65 area looks to be the next important support zone in the exchange rate
  


• 
  A cycle turn window is seen next week
  


• 
  Traction over 1.3755 is needed to shift the broader trend bias to positive
  

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while under 1.3755.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• 
  USD/JPY is in consolidation mode by the 200-day moving average
  


• 
  Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
  


• 
  A close under 101.35 will signal a resumption of the broader decline
  


• 
  The start of June is an important cycle turn window for the exchange rate
  


• 
  Only strength over 104.40 will turn us positve on USD/JPY
  

Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like tactical short positions in USD/JPY while below 104.40 on a weekly close basis.

•

• 
  The 1210/20 area looks like a key downside attraction
  


• 
  A minor turn window is seen later next week ahead of a major one eyed around the middle of June
