Weekly Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• EUR/USD traded to its lowest level in a month this week
• A weekly close below the 2nd square root relationship of the year’s high at 1.3730 will turn us negative
• Fibonacci resistance at 1.3970 remains important and needs to be convincingly overcome to signal the ‘all clear’ for a more important run higher
• A minor cycle turn window is seen early next week

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: May look to sell a close under 1.3730.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• USD/JPY remains in a sideways to higher range above the year’s low near 100.75
• Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
• The year’s low near 100.75 is critical support with a move below having very ominous implications for the exchange rate
• A cycle turn window is seen here
• A weekly close back over 104.40 would turn us positive again on USD/JPY

Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like tactical short positions in USD/JPY while below 104.40 on a weekly close basis.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: GOLD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• XAU/USD broke below key support at 1310 to fall to its lowest level in a month and a half this week
• We are negative on the metal while below 1350
• The 50% retracement of the December to March advance at 1285 is key support with weakness below needed to trigger a new leg lower
• An important turn window is seen between April 4-9
• A daily close back over 1350 will turn us positive on the metal again

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below 1350. May look to reduce shorts into upcoming turn window.
