Weekly Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• EUR/USD recorded a new multi-year high this week. But so far has been unable to surpass key resistance at 1.3970
• Our longer-term trend bias is positive while above 1.3640
• The 50% retracement near 1.3970 is key resistance and needs to be convincingly overcome to signal the ‘all clear’ for a more important run higher
• A cycle turn window is seen late next week

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Looking to buy on weakness.

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• USD/JPY has come under aggressive downside pressure following last week’s failure at the 3rdsquare root relationshipof the year’s low at 103.75
• 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 next week
• 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 touched its highest level in 7-months on Friday
• Our broader trend bias remains positive in the metal while above 1348
• The 1395 level is key resistance with traction above needed to trigger gurther gains
• Early next week is an important cycle turn window for the metal
• A daily close under 1348 would turn us negative on Gold

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like being long while over 1348
