DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
EUR/USD
EUR/USD
10 May, 2011

Initial demand seen close to trend-line support.

­ EUR/USD’s sharp correction, which was helped by a confluence of DeMark


exhaustion signals, is weighing on the major trend.

­ We now require a break under 1.4158 to confirm a false break over daily
channel resistance last week at 1.4941.

­ Today’s failure to break under yesterday’s 1.4256 low suggests that we are
potentially in the midst of a corrective phase. We have also seen initial
demand close to trend-line support from 1.3429.

EUR/USD daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP ­ Scope is now seen for a return to 1.4420 initially and then possibly the
1.4500 region. Above 1.4680 is required to dampen the current short-
term bearish stance.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
GBP/USD 10 May, 2011

Lower high sought for a continuation of the corrective phase.

­ GBP/USD has broken back below 1.6431 weakening the near-term


structure.
­ Last week also saw the formation of a weekly bearish engulfing candlestick
reversal pattern, warning of further losses ahead.
­ This now reduces the potency of the prior break over long-term trend-line
resistance off 2.1162.
­ Below 1.5937 is required to weaken the medium-term bullish structure.
­ We view the fall from 1.6747 to 1.6270 as being the initial leg in a
corrective phase. Scope is now seen for a swing higher and the formation
of a lower high in the region between 1.6574 and 1.6625.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
USD/JPY 10 May, 2011

Initial support seen close to 61.8% retrace.

­ USD/JPY’s sharp bearish slide has found initial support near 80.00.

­ We note that so far demand has been witnessed close to the 61.8% retrace
of the 76.25-85.54 rise, at 79.80. We see scope for a higher low to form in
this region, but await the development of short-term structure to help
confirm a recovery.

­ Only a sustained close below 80.00 would offer risk to 78.80, which would
possibly lead to a selling climax before a resumption higher.

­ Bulls need to push back above strategic levels at 82.00 (post G7


USD/JPY daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP
intervention high) and 83.30 (post Earthquake shock high), then 84.50
(16th Dec peak), to resume the new long-term bull cycle.

­ A close above here opens up 85.52/85.93 (September 2010 peak), to add


further confirmation that a longer-term upside reversal is in place.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
USD/CHF 10 May, 2011

Scope for further recovery potential.

­ USD/CHF has possibly completed the phase of weakness initiated from


0.9340, where an extension lower has subsequently met 0.8554.
­ This broke below the support of a daily channel formation meeting our
target zone near 0.8650.
­ Failure to find support in the 0.8650 region then led to the evolution of an
hourly falling wedge. This bullish structure has since triggered a recovery
higher, confirming a false break lower.
­ We now seek a short-term squeeze lower, for the creation of a higher low
and a further recovery leg.
­ A return back towards 0.8835 would be sought initially.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
USD/CAD 10 May, 2011

Sharp reversal from multi-year lows.

­ USD/CAD has reversed sharply from its multi-year lows, after breaking
below the support of a multi-month falling channel. Back over 0.9974 is
required to confirm a false break lower, weakening the prior bearish
structure.

­ Bulls need to sustain a close above 0.9722 (18th April high) to offer further
upside extension into 0.9825 (TDST line) and 0.9968 (17th March high),
then towards 1.0000 (parity level).

­ Immediate support can be found at 0.9565 (old wedge pattern ceiling),


then 0.9446 (29 April low) and 0.9286 (projection). Only a close below here

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
AUD/USD 10 May, 2011

Below 1.0830 maintains our near-term bearish stance.

­ AUD/USD’s sharp reversal has found initial support close to the 38.2%
retrace of the 0.9706-1.1012 rise, at 1.0513. This reversal was triggered by
an evening star pattern in the daily timeframe.

­ We now look for a sustained break below 1.0513, to open further


weakness into 1.0443 (TDST line) and 1.0359 (50% Fib).

­ While below 1.0830 the bounce from 1.0537 is viewed as being corrective
in nature, with a further bout of weakness anticipated.

AUD/USD daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP ­ With this in mind, we seek a lower high and will monitor short-term
structure, should weakness re-assert.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
GBP/JPY 10 May, 2011

Approaches a region where longs are favoured again.

­ GBP/JPY continues to exhibit features on long-term charts that suggest a


larger recovery remains possible.
­ We have seen a confirmed false break lower to 122.36 and in the process a
push back over the 50 week moving average. Combined with this, long-
term trend-line resistance has been tested as support.
­ Recent trade has also seen an initial test of the 50% retrace of the 122.36-
140.01 rise. We view this region as offering a reasonable zone for the
consideration of longs.
­ Combined with this we have also re-tested the 50 week moving average
after pushing back over it earlier in the year.
­ A final squeeze lower is now sought within the short-term timeframe for
the creation of a higher low versus 122.36.

­ Longer-term a push back under 122.36 is required to dampen the recovery

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
EUR/JPY 10 May, 2011

Approaches a region where demand is expected to manifest.

­ EUR/JPY has experienced a strong recovery higher from 106.61, peaking


at 123.33.
­ The corrective phase that has followed has broken under the 38.2% retrace
of the 105.44-123.33 rise and also tested the region near 115.68/116.00 as
support.
­ We will now monitor shorter-term price action with the intention of
structuring a long trade.
­ A break back under the key 113.56 level will considerably weaken the
evolving recovery, warning of further weakness ahead.
­ Thus trade in the current region is key to maintaining the recovery seen
since 105.44.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT
EUR/GBP 10 May, 2011

Strong support expected in the current region.

­ All three objectives met, closing out our short position. Look to buy.
­ EUR/GBP has maintained it’s long-term bullish structure after basing at
0.8068, suggesting that the correction off 0.9812 is complete.
­ The pullback that we have been expecting has followed after the formation
of a rising wedge in the daily timeframe and a rising channel in the hourly
timeframe.
­ Weakness has today tested the region where we expected demand to
manifest. We thus switch back to the longer-term bias and look to buy, as
we view the current zone as one where a higher low is favoured to form.
­ Back under 0.8672 is required to dampen the current longer-term bullish
structure.

EUR/CHF 10 May, 2011

Under 1.2730 triggers a developing bear flag.

­ Second objective met. Stop moved to 1.2660. Final objective moved to


1.2350.
­ EUR/CHF appears to have completed a three legged recovery from the all-
time low made at 1.2402, with the 200 day moving average acting as
resistance, ahead of recent weakness.
­ Also, daily structure has seen the formation of a bear flag, with scope for a
return to 1.2433 now that a sustained break of 1.2730 has been achieved.
­ Also noted is that the break under 1.2730 constitutes a push under the
61.8% retrace of the 1.2433-1.3243 rise, further weakening the near-term
outlook.
­ A move back over the lower high at 1.2749 is now required to dampen
bears.

­ Gold’s sharp correction has found support near 1474.69 (38.2% Fib). The
major reversal was triggered after puncturing above its multi-year bull-
channel ceiling, while also developing a DeMark exhaustion signal.

­ We continue to watch Gold’s COT net speculation positions which is


currently unwinding lower and should soon play catch up with the s/t
bearish price activity.

SILVER 10 May, 2011

Lower high sought for fresh losses.

­ Silver recovering after unwinding from extreme oversold conditions, after


its sharp reversal fell just over 30% in only 5 days.

­ The move, (which also followed a confluence of DeMark exhaustion signals


across daily/monthly charts), smashed through key support levels at
40.0000 (psychological) and 39.7660 (61.8% Fib).

­ This suggests further deterioriation of the parabolic upside move which


gained 90% this year. Keeping this in mind, we favour a further downside
extension into 31.7819 (24th Feb low) and 30.0000 (old psychological
level).
