Temporary unwinding from oversold conditions.

FAILED
BREAKOUTS

EUR/USD is temporarily unwinding from oversold conditions. However, it is still likely to see the bearish impulsive move extend from key overhead resistance (primarily a 2 year trend and its long-term 200-day average). Bearish sentiment also remains anchored by heightened contagion fears driven from the greater European sovereign debt risk. A sustained close beneath 1.3146 (Oct swing low) will re-establish the larger

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

Second leg higher initiated in recovery phase.

GBP/USD saw a minor recovery higher in the hourly timeframe. Todays break back over 1.5566 has likely initiated a second leg higher in the recovery from 1.5423. Scope is now seen for a return to the 1.5700 region. We remain wary of the generally rangebound nature of the market in the medium-term timeframe, favouring a return to 1.6167. A sustained break under 1.5272 is required to turn the medium-term bias decidedly bearish. We await the formation of short-term structure to assist us in our formulation of strategy.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

Break over 0.9316 strengthens medium-term outlook.

USD/CHF saw a break back over 0.9316 last week. This structural break over the October high strengthens the medium-term structure. However, scope is seen for a corrective phase lower, with resistance anticipated close to 0.9600, should further strength follow. Demand for Swiss Francs is likely to continue while yields on Spanish and Italian government bonds remain elevated, currently trading at 6.570% and 7.320% respectively. We continue to monitor the German sovereign yield curve with ten year yields there currently trading at close to 2.259%. If yields in Germany

continue to rise, this will likely mark an acceleration of deterioration in the Euro Zone. USD/CHF daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP Movement in USD/CHF is likely to be affected by EUR/CHF should the latter rate get closer to the 1.2130 region, which marks the lower end of the recent trading range.

GBP/JPY

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

Higher low anticipated for a fresh leg higher.

GBP/JPY may be entering a corrective phase higher following the break out of hourly bear channel resistance. With this in mind, a higher low is anticipated ahead of 119.38, should a short-term pullback take place. This is also supported by the minor recovery seen in equities globally and in particular in the S&P500. Although a break over 121.77 could not be achieved, a further leg higher is anticipated to complete the corrective phase from 119.38. A failure to hold over 119.38 will warn of a return to 116.84. Bigger picture a substantial recovery higher is favoured, initially towards 163.09. GBP/JPY daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP

EUR/JPY

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

Enters into a near-term corrective phase.

EUR/JPY appears to have completed an initial corrective phase higher, with scope now for a further swing to the upside. We view the fall that has taken place since 111.60 as being corrective in nature, suggesting potential for a further leg higher. The break out of the hourly falling channel that has taken place during recent sessions is now suggestive of a larger corrective phase higher. However, the EUR component of this pair is highly affected by the movement in EUR/USD. As the yields in Spanish and Italian government bonds continue to rise, this puts more downside pressure on the EUR. A break under 1.3146 in EUR/USD will end the rising phase seen since 2010. EUR/JPY daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP This would likely be associated with a fall back down to 100.76 and potentially lower. A sustained hold over the 200 day moving average will turn the mediumterm outlook more bullish.

EUR/GBP
Bias remains bearish.

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

EUR/GBP continues to frustrate, failing to garner any momentum following the recent break of the key 0.8530/31 lows. Given the precarious situation in the Euro-Zone, our mild bearish bias remains, favouring an eventual return to weakness if core/periphery sovereign debt continues to be sold off. It is anticipated that if the deterioration in the Euro-Zone continues then Sterling could be viewed as a safe haven. Thus focus remains on the Italian and Spanish government bond markets too. An eventual fall back under 0.8486 is anticipated. With this in mind, the formulation of a short strategy is still favoured, although a deeper pullback of the 0.8831-0.8486 fall is required ahead of entry. EUR/GBP daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP Our bias remains mildly bearish with trade continuing under both the 200 day and 50 week moving averages. We keep an eye on the 1.3146 level in EUR/USD. A push under this level will mark a clear breakdown of

confidence in the EUR.

EUR/CHF

DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT

29 November, 2011

Re-test of the base of the recent trading range now favoured.

EUR/CHF continues to trade in a tight trading range just under the 1.2500 level. Focus still remains on the yields on periphery and core Euro-Zone sovereign debt. Over time, this may lead to a renewed desire for a safe haven, with downside pressure returning to EUR/CHF. Our strategy remains to trade opportunistically from a momentum perspective, awaiting a return to the 1.2000 region. Should a re-test of the 1.2000 region take place with a fall under 1.1973 also following, this would warn of the end of the recovery seen since 1.0075, increasing the probability of a return to this level. Near-term, a break back under 1.2251 will warn of a failure to re-test the EUR/CHF weekly chart, Bloomberg Finance LP 1.2500 region, suggesting an earlier return to 1.2123/31. In any case, a retest of the base of the recent trading range is anticipated over coming sessions. It remains to be seen if the SNB will be able to hold back the possible flow of funds into Swiss Francs, that may occur, if further stresses lead to yet higher yields in Italian/Spanish/French government bonds.
