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 briefly to a new multi-year high this week before reversing sharply
• Our broader bias is negative on the Euro while below 1.3970
• Weakness under the 2nd square root relationship of the year’s high at 1.3755 is needed to confirm a more important top is in place
• The next important cycle turn window is seen towards the end of the month
• Only traction over 1.3970 turns our broader outlook positive

Weekly EUR/USD Strategy: Like the short side while under 1.3970

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• USD/JPY is trading at the low end of its multi-month trend
• Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
• A close under 101.35 will signal a resumption of the broader decline
• An important cycle turn window is seen later this month
• Only strength over 104.40 will turn us positve 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 initial strength this past week stalled at a key Gann convergence between 1315/1321
• Following the daily close over 1306, our trend bias is positive
• A move through 1321 is needed to spark an upside resumption
• A minor turn window is seen around the middle of next week
• A daily close below 1270 will turn us negative on the metal

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like the long side while over 1270.
