| EURUSD: 1.1783 |
| Preferred Strategy: As with yesterday, while I prefer to retain a medium term short position because of the bearish look of the daily charts, the short term momentum indicators do point to the chance of a continuation of the current minor recovery, so I would not be surprised to see a bit more of a bounce over the next couple of sessions. Short term traders could buy it here, with a tight SL placed below the 1.1720 session low, or otherwise look to sell any short term rally back above 1.1800. As before, note that we could see a return to the neckline of the H/S formation so SL should be placed above here (1.1850). Sell EurUsd @ 1.1835. SL @ 1.1870, TP @ 1.1680. | |||

| USDJPY: 112.32 |
| Preferred Strategy: US$Jpy did attempt to break higher once again, today reaching 113.20 but, unable to follow through, the bulls ran for cover and pushed the pair back towards 112.00, finishing on the lows of 112.30. Further range trading looks likely for the coming session although the short term momentum indicators do hint that a stronger test of 112.00 is possible. The dailies still look constructive, so buying dips below 112.00 with a SL placed sub 111.50 may be a plan although a NY close below the 200 DMA may entail further dips next week. | |||

| GBPUSD: 1.3438 |
| Preferred Strategy: Cable was once again choppy, with a negative bias heading into early London trade which then turned around for the pair to finish near the day’s high of 1.3454. More of the same looks likely on Friday although the Current Account and GDP figure may provide something directional, as could speeches from various BOE members, including Carney. In the short term the positive bias may continue but the dailies are beginning to look heavy. Neutral . | |||

| USDCHF: 0.9700 |
| Preferred Strategy: US$Chf once again tried the topside, reaching 0.9758, before retreating a little lower in a tight range, to finish at close to 0.9700. I suspect further choppy trade lies ahead with a mild downside bias although medium term traders should be looking to buy the dips for an eventual run above 0.9770 and on to 0.9800/10 and eventually higher. Buy US$Chf @ 0.9660. SL @ 0.9580, TP @ 0.9800 | |||

| AUDUSD: 0.7852 |
| Preferred Strategy: The Aud fell to a low of 0.7799 on Thursday and further medium term losses look highly likely, although the short term momentum indicators are now turning higher and a minor topside squeeze would not surprise on Friday. Sell AudUsd @ 0.7875. SL @ 0.7910, TP @ 0.7785. Short term traders may want to buy it here, but some caution is warranted as the PSC and Caixin Mfg PMI may cause some choppy conditions. | |||

| NZDUSD: 0.7230 |
| Preferred Strategy: The Kiwi has been choppy and is now effectively boxed in between a double bottom (0.7166) and a double top (0.7240) but is closing on its highs, and as with yesterday, short term traders might want to play it from the long side today. The dailies are neutral so the medium term strategy is to stand aside. Repeat yesterday’s order, which worked nicely. Buy NzdUsd @ 0.7180. SL @ 0.7150, TP @ 0.7250. Building Permits due shortly. | |||
