Weekly Trend direction: Bullish
Weekly trend reversal level: 1.4677 Key G7 support levels: 1.4820, 1.4780, 1.4670 Counter-trend opportunities: 1.5240 Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level buy dips to support levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: Little change after a quiet week last week. We have reached a key point, with a weekly close above 1.4850 probably surprising a lot of euro bears, and a good sign that we should try to rally further to key resistance at 1.5240. Key support levels are now well established, and we’ll look to buy into dips to the levels above. With a lot of stops now cleared out, we should see a sharp rally early in this week. Once we get to 1.5240, the jury will once again be out. Have we reached a major, long term top, or are we going to see another attack on the all time high at 1.6000? Summary: Buy dips to supports after a clear reversal has formed. If this fails then wait for supports further down. Target 1.5240. Possibly try small counter-trend trades near 1.5240 after a clear reversal.

Weekly Trend direction: Bullish
Weekly trend reversal level: 1.4820 Key G7 support levels: 1.4970/80, 1.4940, 1.4880, 1.4820 Counter-trend opportunities: 1.5050? 1.5240 Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level buy dips to support levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: Interesting stuff, as the euro has tested 1.5050 three times, and held above 1.4950 on each occasion. This is a key level for the euro, and upward momentum has “run out of gas” to an extent. However, with pundits baying for a dollar rally, don’t be complacent and fooled into thinking that the euro can’t rush higher again this week (Next stop 1.5240) Support lies at 1.4970/80 and then several layers below, down to 1.4820. Note that the weekly chart is developing into an interesting “rising wedge” patter, which is highly unstable and will add to the feeling of insecurity for the long hands. All in all probably an explosive week. How to play it? Perhaps try tiny shorts from 1.5050, or wait for 1.5240 before trying again. Otherwise, wait for dips to support, a clear reversal pattern and a G7 signal before buying for 1.5050 and then 1.5240. Summary: Buy dips to supports at 1.4950/70 after a clear reversal has formed. If this fails then wait for supports further down. Target 1.5050 and then 1.5240. Possibly try small counter-trend shorts near 1.5050 or 1.5240 after a clear reversal.

Update: The counter-trend short from 1.5050 worked like a dream. If you took that trade, you’ll have taken a
good profit. The weekly direction has now reversed to SHORT, so we’ll wait this one out until next week. Summary: Stay out until next week.

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.5070 Key G7 resistance levels: 1.4830/80, 1.4920, 1.4980 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: The euro weekly direction has finally reversed to short, after a bearish engulfing weekly candle and a double top at the 1.5060 level. It seems as if we may have broken down through the “rising wedge” formation, which is always an unstable pattern. Trading has now become a little tricky, as always when a major top is attempting to form, and we may see several sharp swings between 1.4700 and 1.4980 this week. If we are to maintain the bearish direction, we must remain below 1.4980 – allow for a final test of this 78.6% Fibonacci level before a further move lower. Additional resistance lies at 1.4830/80 and 1.4920. Watch and wait for a clear reversal pattern (possibly quite dramatic) before selling the euro for a move back towards 1.4700 and then 1.4600 on a break lower. Summary: Sell rallies to resistance levels after a clear reversal – stops above the reversal pattern – target 1.4700 and then 1.4600.

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.5070 Key G7 resistance levels: 1.4720/70, 1.4810, 1.4850 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: The euro weekly direction has finally reversed to short, after a bearish engulfing weekly candle and a double top at the 1.5060 level.

Update: We did indeed drop to just above 1.4600 followed by a sharp bounce. The direction remains bearish, and resistance now lies overhead at 1.4720/70 and 1.4810/50 If you managed a good profit from the drop yesterday, you may choose to stay out for the rest of this week. Otherwise, sell into resistance levels above, targeting yesterday’s low at 1.4625, and then 1.4500. Summary: Sell rallies to resistance levels after a clear reversal – stops above the reversal pattern – target 1.46250 and then 1.4500.

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.4920 Key G7 resistance levels: 1.4920 Counter-trend opportunities: 1.4970 Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: We remain just bearish whilst below the weekly reversal level at 1.4920 (last week’s high). However, it might not be long before the weekly direction reverses and there are no signs of hourly topping as yet. If we do break above 1.4920, it’s likely that the euro will rally to 1.4970 (the 78.6% retracement of the entire move down from the all -time high at 1.5063. It’ll be interesting to see if we stop there and move lower again, or if the euro is intent on testing the 1.5060 level. Time shall tell! In the meantime, watch for signs of reversal at either 1.4920 or 1.4970, before trying small shorts for a move lower back to 1.4850 and eventually 1.4650. Summary: Sell rallies to resistance levels after a clear reversal – stops above the reversal pattern – target 1.48500 and then 1.4650.

EUR/USD:
Update: The weekly direction has reversed to long, and I advise staying out until next week. GBP/USD: Weekly Trend direction: Bullish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.6240 Key G7 support levels: 1.6620, 1.6550, 1.6480 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level buy dips to support levels after an entry signal Today's trade suggestion: A fantastic bounce from the floor last week means that the pound remains bullish for the 5th week in a row, and we are currently testing the crucial 1.6720 weekly resistance level and 78.6% Fibonacci (see the numerous touches over the past few months.) Traders could look for signs of reversal here, with the possibility of a countertrend short trade, or simply be patient and wait for dips to the support levels well below – starting at 1.6550. Target for shorts would be 1.6550 and target for longs back to the 1.6720 resistance level. A close above 1.6720 almost certainly means a move back to the August high around 1.7000 for another bash at moving higher. Update: We have had a sharp move higher and remain in the long direction. Continue to buy dips, with supports at the levels above. Summary: Buy dips to supports after a clear reversal has formed. Target 1.6720.

Weekly Trend direction: Bullish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.4820 Key G7 support levels: 1.4900, 1.4820 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level buy dips to support levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: Tricky conditions as the euro grapples with the idea that we may have a medium term top in place at the key 1.5060. Still, last week’s direction was (just) bullish, although not very convincing at all. Bear in mind that at major turning points there is often a titanic battle between both sides (bulls and bears) and this leads to messy conditions which may last for several weeks. All that having been said, we’ll go with the long direction whilst above the weekly reversal level at 1.4820. This leaves just two real support levels – 1.4820 and Friday’s bullish engulfing candle reversal level at circa 1.4900. Look to buy dips to these levels, keeping in mind that’s things could get messy. I suggest trading lightly if you must trade, or waiting for a change in direction one way or the other (a new dramatic rally above 1.5060 or a drop below 1.4820). Target for rallies is the Fibonacci extension level at 1.5120, and then 1.5400 Summary: Buy dips to support levels if you must. Target 1.5120 and then 1.5400.

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.5050 Key G7 resistance levels: 1.4950/60, 1.5000, 1.5050 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: Another day – another dollar for range traders as the euro has been stuck in the 1.4800-1.5000 range since the beginning of the month. This really could break out either way (as it eventually will) but there are signs that the 1.5000/5050 barrier is going to be tough to break. Notice on the hourly chart that we have the makings of a “descending triangle” with lower highs each time the rally to near the range top takes place. We are currently butting up against the downward top of the triangle as I write, and I’ll be watching and waiting for signs of reversal on the hourly chart. Target for short trades is the range bottom around 1.4800 and, on a successful break lower, 1.4650. Summary: Sell rallies to 1.4950/60 or at higher resistance levels, target 1.4800 and then 1.4650.

Weekly Trend direction: Bearish Weekly trend reversal level: 1.5050 Key G7 resistance levels: 1.5000, 1.5050 Counter-trend opportunities: Strategy: Whilst below the weekly trend reversal level sell rallies to resistance levels after an entry signal. Today's trade suggestion: Another day – another dollar for range traders as the euro has been stuck in the 1.4800-1.5000 range since the beginning of the month.

Target for short trades is the range bottom around 1.4800 and, on a successful break lower, 1.4650. Update: Danger signs as the euro is making “higher lows” and has broken the tentative downward hourly trend line. However, I’ll adopt a purely objective stance based on the G7 model, and remain with the bearish direction whilst below 1.5050. This means there is remaining resistance at 1.5000 and 1.5050, where I’ll continue to watch for signals to sell. Summary: Sell rallies to 1.5000 or 1.5050 after a clear G7 entry signal, target 1.4800 and then 1.4650
