Weekly Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:

Weekly Price & Time Analysis: EUR/USD

Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr

• EUR/USD has come under further pressure this past week to trade at its lowest level in a month
• A weekly close below the 2nd square root relationship of the year’s high at 1.3730 will turn us negative
• Last week’s high at 1.3875 is important resistance with a move above needed to confirm an upside resumption
• A cycle turn window is seen in the Euro mid-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 closed over the 3rd square root relationship of the year’s low at 103.75 this week to trade at its highest level since late January
• Our broader bias is negative in the rate while below 104.40
• The 3rd square root relationship of the the year’s high around 102.35 is key support and needs to be breached to signal a downside resumption
• The middle of the week is a minor cycle turn window
• 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 1285 to trade at its lowest level since early February this week
• We are negative on the metal while below 1336
• The 1285 area remains key support with a weekly close below needed to signal a resumption of the downtrend
• An important turn window is seen between April 7-9
• A daily close back over 1336 will turn us positive on the metal again

Weekly XAU/USD Strategy: Like holding reduced short positions while below 1336.
