26 Sept: Forecast: FX: US$/Majors + Trade Ideas: FXCharts

EURUSD: 1.1846
Preferred Strategy: It looks as though the Euro is about to break the H/S neckline, in which case the objective is somewhere near 1.1560. Prefer to trade from the short side. Sell EurUsd @ 1.1880. SL @ 1.1940 TP @ 1.1735.

USDJPY: 111.72
Preferred Strategy: The charts are mixed, with the short term momentum indicators hinting at further near term dollar weakness, while the dailies still remain positive. I would therefore remain square today or look to buy into weakness towards 111.00. Note that there are some decent support points ahead of 111.00, which may help to prop the dollar up. BOJ Minutes later.

GBPUSD: 1.3463

AUDUSD: 0.7935
Preferred Strategy: While the dailies look heavy, the short term momentum indicators are fairly neutral so another rangebound session may be in store. I prefer to be short but would not chase it lower. Sell into near term strength towards 0.7960/70 with a SL above 0.8000. TP @ 0.7865.

NZDUSD: 0.7262
Preferred Strategy: The Kiwi is lower today following the election result but the dailies are neutral, so standing aside for the coming session seems to be a prudent move. The 4 hour charts point lower so possibly selling into strength above 0.7300 may be a plan. SL @ 0.7330. TP @ 0.7200.
