Daily FX Technical Analysis

Daily Forex Technicals | Written by Mizuho Corporate Bank
EURUSD
Comment: Boring as we continue to consolidate at the upper edge of a 'triangle' consolidation pattern. The Euro is no longer overbought though bullish momentum is poor. We feel that the long term trend to US dollar weakness will resume this month.
Strategy: Buy at 1.4365; stop well below 1.4200. Short term target 1.4400/1.4450

GBPUSD
Comment: Terribly dull as we hover in the middle of a large Ichimoku 'cloud', despite weakness in Sterling crosses. Little reason to see the picture improving dramatically as momentum is nil though Cable is certainly not overbought as it was early last month.Strategy: Attempt small longs at 1.6325; stop well below 1.6095. First target 1.6400, then 1.6600.Direction of Trade: → Chart Levels:

USDJPY
Comment: Dropping below the daily and weekly Ichimoku 'clouds' and it is just a matter of time before we re-test July's low at 91.73. Momentum is bearish (and probably increase if we now hold below 93.33) and the US dollar is still not oversold, a break below 91.50 should see implied at-the-money volatility increase significantly.Strategy: Sell at 93.00; stop well above 93.55. Short term target 92.00, then 91.75 with moves below here likely to becoming increasingly erratic
