| EURUSD: 1.1932 |
| EurUsd soared higher on Friday in taking advantage of the solid data from the EU and it finished near session highs of 1.1943 in thin conditions after having taken out the important 1.1880 resistance.The Euro looks solid again on Monday, with both the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators pointing higher, and above Friday’s high would see little resistance until 1.2000. Beyond this would open the way to 1.2030/50 and even on towards the 8 Sept low at 1.2096.
On the downside, minor support will be seen at 1.1900/15 today, below which could head back to 1.1880 although this currently looks unlikely. Preferred Strategy: For Monday, I prefer to adopt a fairly neutral stance although buying dips may be a plan as it looks as though we are headed to 1.2000. Buy EurUsd @ 1.1900. SL @ 1.1870, TP @ 1.1990 |

| USDJPY: 111.50 |
| US$Jpy had a tight range of 111.19/61 on Friday, leaving the outlook pretty much unchanged.The daily momentum indicators are still looking heavy, and a test of 111.00 – and lower – would not surprise at some stage although the shorter term charts are still pointing higher and it may be worth waiting to see if we can head back towards the important 111.70 area. A break of 111.70 would allow a squeeze towards 112.00/20 where there is equally strong resistance, so stops on shorts should be left above here.
Preferred Strategy: It looks as though the market is still generally trapped in being short Jpy so there will be plenty of sellers into dollar rallies from those looking to cut positions. Sell UsdJpy @ 111.90. SL @ 112.25, TP @ 110.50 |

| GBPUSD: 1.3329 |
| Cable had a solid session on Friday, reaching 1.3359 – last seen in early October – and unfazed by the ongoing Brexit negotiations that saw UK PM, May in Brussels trying to beat out a deal with Donald Tusk.The daily momentum indicators still appear to be looking mildly constructive, and further gains do seem possible, where a break of 1.3360 would allow a run to 1.3400+ and possibly to where the major descending trend resistance from the 2014 high comes in at 1.3450.
On the downside, minor support will again be seen 1.3280/00 ahead of 1.3240 and buying dips would currently seem to be the plan. Preferred Strategy: Overall I remain fairly neutral – as per the 4 hour charts – albeit growing cautiously bullish. Buy GbpUsd @ 1.3300. SL @ 1.3250, TP @ 1.3440 |

| USDCHF: 0.9789 |
| US$Chf traded lower again on Friday, falling to 0.9785 ahead of a minor bounce to close the week just under 0.9800.With the daily momentum indicators pointing increasingly lower, a sustained break of 0.9785/0.9800 would allow a run towards 0.9725/30 and then to 0.9700/05.
On the topside, once back above the 200 WMA and the Friday high at 0.9826 would find some minor Fibo resistance at 0.9845, 0.9865 and at 0.9885, and selling into strength today would seem to be the plan, with a SL placed above here. Preferred Strategy: Sell US$Chf @ 0.9865. SL @ 0.9890, TP @ 0.9750 |

| AUDUSD: 0.7610 |
| AudUsd remained steady on Friday, in trading a tight range of 0.7606/31 and seemingly unwilling to take on the US$ weakness seen against the other major pairs.With the short term momentum indicators looking flat we may be in for more of the same today although the daily charts still look positive and a test of the H/S neckline formation at 0.7660 would not surprise at some stage, which ties in with the 13 Nov high of 0.7665 and some minor Fibo resistance. Beyond this would then allow a run towards 0.7675/80 and possibly 0.7695/0.7700.
The downside will again find minor support at 0.7590/0.7605 and then at 0.7565 and 0.7550 ahead of the stronger 0.7530/35, area, which will continue to be strong, but below which would target Fibo support at around 0.7515. A break of this would then look towards 0.7485 and 0.7460/70 (Rising trend support) albeit this is some way off. Preferred Strategy: Playing the Aud from the short side on the crosses seems to be the best plan right now and I prefer to remain long GbpAud or long EurAud. Further out, I like to sell AudUsd at around 0.7650, with a SL at 0.7680. |

…| NZDUSD: 0.6868 |
| The Kiwi remained steady on Friday in trading a tight range of 0.6865/94, leaving the outlook unchanged.With the 4 hour/daily momentum indicators now looking neutral, a similar session may lie ahead on Monday although the dailies are still pointing higher and another test of 0.6900/05 looks possible, above which would allow a move to 0.6920 and 0.6935, albeit probably not today.
The initial support now lies at the 23 Nov/Friday lows of 0.6865 ahead of 0.6850 and then the stronger level at 0.6790/6800. Below this would find that there is little support ahead of 0.6670 although this remains a long way off and before then we are likely to see bids at 0.6750/60 and again at 0.6700/10. Preferred Strategy: Overall, with the longer term (weekly) charts looking heavy, I suspect the Kiwi is currently biding its time ahead of a more sustained test of the downside. In the short term though, I suspect a test of 0.6920/30 may lie ahead and it is possible that we could even see a return to the neckline of the major head and shoulders, at 0.6990, before heading lower. Today could be quiet and a neutral stance seems wise. |
