Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
EUR/USD contines to extend its recovery off the 4th square root relationship of the year’s higher at 1.3520
Our near-term trend bias is lower in the euro while under 1.3675
A daily close below 1.3520 is needed to signal that the decline in the exchange rate is resuming
A cycle turn window is eyed around the end of the week
A close over 1.3675 will focus higher
EUR/USD Strategy: Square while awaiting a break of the ‘ECB range’.
Price & Time Analysis: GOLD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
XAU/USD advance has stalled below a key Gann confluence zone in the 1320 area
Our near-term trend bias is still higher in the metal while over 1286
A close over 1321 is needed to signal that a new leg higher is underway
A minor cycle turn window is seen around the middle of the week
A daily close below 1286 will turn us negative
XAU/USD Strategy: Looking to buy on weakness against 1286.
Focus Chart of the Day: USD/CAD
We are constantly looking for a convergence of various important levels (confluence) on our charts. One of these confluence zones that particularly stands out at the moment is in USD/CAD. Between 1.0650 and 1.0600 on the daily chart there is the 6th square root relationship of the year’s high, the 38% retracement of the 2012/2014 advance, the measured move of the March/April decline, the 61.8% retracement of the September/March move higher and a trendline connecting several key lows since 2012. Each one of these levels in its own right is probably important enough prompt a reversal, but together the odds go up. The trend since March has been powerful, but cyclical analysis suggests it is getting long in the tooth and prone to a turn around the start of the month. Further supporting this view is the seasonal picture which shows July is historically the worst month of the year for the Canadian dollar. All of these factors seem favor a counter-trend move or at least an attempt at one in the sessions ahead. A daily settlement under 1.0600 would invalidate this positive view.
