Technical Overview
EURUSD(1,3670)-rate was trading lower in Europe as dollar recovery gained some traction Short term outlook is positive above 1,3640 for a retest of Fibo resistance at 1,3740 .Sharp rejection from 1,3740 and inability to sustain gains above 1,37 may be worrying to bulls. At this stage pullbacks are still seen as buying opportunity however bulls may struggle to push rate decisively higher ahead of FOMC .Expect heavy battle in in 1,3640-1,3740 area .We stand aside for now
USDJPY (102,75) -rate was higher in Europe as dollar recovery got additional boost from CBRT emergency meeting .Short term picture is negative below distant 102,85 .Technically speaking , rallies are seen as selling opportunity .Sharp rebound off 101,70 may point to a temporary halt of recent declines.We see a room for a retracement of recent slide .
Big picture turned bearish on a daily close below 102,50 .Expect decent supply in 103,50/104,00 zone. Choppy action in 102,30-103,00 zone to dominate in coming hours
NZD(0,8255)-Rate was trading sideways in Europe ,forming a short term base in the vicinity of 0,8220.Short term outlook is negative below 0,8280 however proximity of 0,82 may prompt bears to head for exit. We remain long from lvls around 0,8230 for a corrective push twds 0,8275/80 . Reconsider booking modest profits on upticks or trail stops up
