Euro And Cable: Pullbacks To Continue?

Published 05/03/2012, 02:32 AM

EUR/USD:

Finally the euro broke lower and has traded and exceed 1.3160 for 1.3140. The market does look under pressure at this stage and if we stage a break of 1.3140 we would expect further selling pressure with 1.3010/05 still the targeted area.

Obviously we have stages of support prior to this major one, but it would be a case of covering shorts prior above stated support levels, then re-selling a break below for the 1.3010/05 major support level.

Any bounce from 1.3140 leaves 1.3175/1.3225 exposed on the topside, but this would just give better levels to sell. Hold shorts on any rally and only reverse a break above 1.3290.

An immediate target on a break of 1.3140 is 1.3075....we may see a little short term bounce from here, but again, any bounce will give sellers a better opportunity to sell.


GBP/USD:


Cable came lower as expected and we have hit the first target of 1.6180. We still have 1.6140 as a nearby objective, but if short you may wish to cover at 1.6180 and see if we can bounce a little initially.

However, any bounce from current levels should be contained by 1.6220/25 and this area will once more give sellers a good opportunity to get back into the market. Sellers will hold unless we break 1.6255.

As stated we have support at 1.6180/1.6140. If we lose 1.6140 we would see further weakness ensue with 1.6085/65 the short term objective.

target is 1,2477 goodby spain…!!! goodby britain…!!! goodby draghi…!!! The ECB’s resistance comes against the backdrop of increasingly negative economic data from the 17-country euro zone. On Wednesday, data showed the euro-zone’s manufacturing sector contracted at its sharpest pace in nearly three years, while unemployment rose to match a record high in March. The data suggest the euro-zone economy could continue to shrink even into the second quarter of 2012.
