USD/CHF to recommence advancing

USD/CHF seems to have terminated its bearish correction, which has stopped ahead of an initial support located at 0.9359. In case of an unlikely scenario when the currency pair breaches the latter level, it may target 0.9307 first, then 0.9216/11. Nonetheless, the idea of an additional attempt of USD/CHF to overcome 0.9499/0.9507 is reinforced by the majority of daily technical

USD/JPY is aiming for 77.04/76.94

GBP/USD to breach 1.5785

Support at 1.5785 has repeatedly repelled GBP/USD, which is expected to erode the level eventually, as the CAble has recently bounced off a formidable resistance at 1.6111 and is headed towards 1.5263, which, in turn, might be attained within the next three months. Rallies are presently limited by resistances that may be found at 1.5888/1.5922.

EUR/USD to trade flat

Pullback of EUR/USD did not last for long, as the pair has only rallied up to 1.2818, where it was halted by a resistance.

NZD/USD to remain under bearish pressure

The bearish bias for the pair persists as investors anticipate further appreciation of the US dollar in relation to the New Zealand dollar.

If NZD/USD manages to hold above that level, it will signal a change

EUR/JPY correction is likely to deepen

EUR/JPY attempts to recover for the second day, consolidating within the 101.56/14 price channel, after falling for almost 2 consecutive months.

USD/CHF is weakening in the short term

In accordance with expectations, initial attempt to break through 0.9507 has failed, leading to a sell-off down to 0.9394, just below a weekly pivot point. This support, in conjunction with a formidable level situated at 0.9372/59, should be capable of preventing the dip from extending lower, to 0.9310/07. In the long term USD/CHF is expected to clear 0.9499/0.9507 and advance

USD/JPY to penetrate 78.86

GBP/USD to remain capped by 1.5888/1.5922

The Cable is currently recovering, following its recent encounter with a support at 1.5784 (200 day SMA). However, the rally is expected to be tepid, given a number of tough resistances that lie overhead - 1.5888/1.5922 and 1.6044/77. Accordingly, GBP/USD is anticipated to refocus supports once it bounces off one of the indicated resistance zones and aim for 1.5544 and

EUR/USD's gains should be limited

The currency couple is presently undergoing a bullish correction following its precipitous fall from a downtrend resistance at 1.3252. EUR/USD may attempt to test 1.2903/17, but is unlikely to extend gains above this level, which, in turn, will lead to continuation of a bearish move towards 1.2509, en route to a long term target at 1.18.

USD/CHF to slip down to 0.9372/59

Following a test of a formidable resistance zone situated at 0.9466/0.9507, USD/CHF seems to have started a short-term bearish correction.

USD/JPY fails to sustain a rally

USD/JPY did not manage to sustain its rally above 80.00 and is slowly pulling back after test of a resistance at 80.42/49, even though it was not viewed as a major level en route to 83.00. As long as a key support at 80.00/79.84 withstands bearish pressure, the outlook for the pair should still remain bullish. The latter level guards

At the moment GBP/USD struggles with a support situated at 1.5922/1.5869, which is about to be eroded, given strong downward impetus of the pair after encountering a tough resistance.

EUR/USD is consolidating

Following violation of support at 1.2830/12 and 1.2763, EUR/USD is now showing some signs of stabilisation.

However, in the longer term EUR/USD remains bearish, being that it is currently capped by a formidable resistance area located at 1.3014/28.

Wed, 16 May 2012 07:21:08 GMT
