Gbp/Usd, again approaching to 1.6250

Posted: 27 Jan 2010 04:22 AM PST

Pound keeps gaining ground despite the advanced Retail Sales data that printed a -8 from 13 past month. GBP/USD is approaching quickly to key resistance area, around 1.6240/60, that has just been halting rallies one way and the other. However, with 4 hours charts indicators strongly bullish, seems pair will attempt to break higher. We will need some confirmations here, maybe a candle opening, or a strong acceleration, yet above mentioned levels, pair should quickly approach to 1.6300/10 ahead of 1.6360 area. Supports today, lie at 1.6200, 1.6160 and 1.6110.

 


Eur/Usd, technical points

Posted: 27 Jan 2010 03:42 AM PST

As you can see on this daily chart, Eur/Usd seems to be comfortably bearish, staying under the fibo level, with the 20 SMA crossing the 200 EMA, and printing lower lows on daily basis. Indicators also support further falls, and 1.4020 is our key support for next hours: under that zone, I would expect the pair to extend the downside to the 1.3970 area, and then close to 1.3930. For today, resistances comes as yesterday at the 1.4120 and 1.4150 area first, and I don’t see the pair breaking that at least, before FOMC. Let’s see what Bernanke has to say, later today.

Starting the day

Posted: 27 Jan 2010 03:12 AM PST

Hi everyone, and welcome. Growth concerns about global economy keep helping dollar and yen this European morning, as both safe haven rose from Asia opening levels, except against Pound that is recovering strongly due to comments from a BoE’s Monetary policy committee member Andrew Sentance affirmed that several indicators suggest that UK economy might have grown in the 4Q at a faster pace than the 0.1% preliminary estimation released yesterday. A few minutes ago, the CBI Realized Sales come out really negative for the U.K., but seems Pound did not hear the news. We are going to live a probable quiet and choppy session, ahead of FOMC statement later today. Here is the calendar link:
