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

EURUSD: 1.1791
Preferred Strategy: I prefer to remain short, given the bearish look of the daily charts. However the short term momentum indicators do point to the chance of a minor recovery, so look to sell any short term rally back above 1.1800. 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.
24 Hour: Bearish Medium Term: Prefer to sell rallies

1.1830 Minor 1.1685 Minor
1.1810 Minor 1.1661 17 Aug low

Economic data highlights will include:

W: US Durable Goods, Pending Home Sales, EIA weekly crude oil stock change, US Tax Plan Announcement



USDJPY: 112.23
Preferred Strategy: The charts look slightly more positive today although I remain cautious of buying this pair due to the sensitivity of the Yen to N Korean politics. Stay square for now or look to trade the range 111.80/113.00 with a 30 point SL on each side. Note that the long term descending trend resistance is at 112.85. A sustained break above 112.85/113.00 could see a quick move higher. Today’s tax announcement could be a catalyst but until then, trade the range.

GBPUSD: 1.3460
Preferred Strategy: Cable was once again choppy, but with a slightly negative bias after an early European squeeze up to 1.3513.  Today’s UK GDP may provide some direction, but overall, as with yesterday, look to trade the range of 1.3400/1.3500, with a 30 point SL on each side.

AUDUSD: 0.7886
Preferred Strategy: The Aud has seen a decent slide, reaching 0.7858 under pressure from the stronger US$. The short term momentum indicators suggest the current move may be a little overdone although the dailies remain bearish. Sell AudUsd @ 0.7910. SL @ 0.7960, TP @ 0.7815.

NZDUSD: 0.7211
Preferred Strategy: The Kiwi fell again on Tuesday, reaching 0.7167 ahead of a mild bounce. The dailies still look fairly neutral though so some caution is warranted but overall I still prefer to sell into strength. The short term momentum indicators do suggest the current move down may need a bit of a correction higher. Sell NzdUsd @ 0.7240. SL @ 0.7305, TP @ 0.7115.
