Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• EUR/USD touched its highest level since late December this week
• A weekly close above the 2013 closing high near 1.3800 will shift our trend bias to positive
• Under 1.3640 is needed to re-instill any sort of downside momentum
• The next cycle turn window or importance is seen around the middle of March

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Clinging to tactical short positions against a daily close over 1.3800.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• USD/JPY remains range bound below key Gann resistance at 102.75
• Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
• The 100.80 level remains a key downside pivot that needs to be breached soon on a daily close to undermine the positive cyclicality of the early February low
• A minor cycle turn window is seen next week, but the next cycle inflection point of significance looks to be around middle of March
• A weekly close back over 104.40 would turn us positive again on USD/JPY

Weekly USD/JPY Strategy: We like the short side in USD/JPY while below 104.40.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: GOLD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• XAU/USD probed above the 61.8% retracement of the August to December decline at 1336 to trade at its highest level since late October
• Our broader trend bias remains positive in the metal while above the 1x2 Gann angle line of the 2013 closing low now near 1295
• The 1336 level is remains key resistance with a close over this level needed to signal that a new leg higher is underway
• A minor cycle turn window is seen mid-week
• A daily close under 1295 would turn us negative on Gold

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like being long while over 1295.
