Lazy pairs on summer vacation

日本語版はこちら

It’s summertime and many currency pairs seem to be taking a rest on the forex dance floor. Mr. British Pound continues its consolidation against Ms. USA above the Ichimoku cloud, while Ms. USA is consolidating against Mr. Japanese yen below the Ichimoku cloud. Another lazy currency is  Mr. Aussie who hasn’t moved much after he reached a top at 0.95 against Ms. USA, and continues to dance sideways around the 0.94 level.

 Mr. Euro and Ms. USA continue to dance below the prevailing Ichimoku cloud and currently teasing the 38% fibonacci level at 1.35. As you know we entered a bearish position right after the pair confirmed a break below a rising wedge on the daily forex dance floor and have our target set at 1.345 and 1.33 in extension. Now if the pair suddenly decides to go nuts and break above 1.378, we could see further upside with 1.4 & 1.4245 as targets.

 Dollar Swissy is pushing the upper band of the downward channel we’ve been following for months and remains above the Ichimoku cloud. Both the 20-day and the 50-day moving average are reversing up and increase upward momentum so we are thinking that the pair could bounce towards  0.91 area.

On the precious metals side gold it has pushed above a key declining trend line and a key resistance level at 13333 turning our outlook clearly to bullish and we could see a bounce towards 1390 and 1434 in the coming days.
