FX Market Commentary 1/12/2015


FX - EURO


THE EURO closed higher due to short covering on Friday as it consolidated some of this winter's decline. The highrange close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Monday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible nearterm. If it extends the aforementioned decline, monthly support crossing is the next downside target. Closes below the 20day moving average crossing would confirm that a shortterm top has been posted.

FX - YEN


THE YEN closed lower on Friday. The lowrange close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Monday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible nearterm. If it extends Tuesday's decline, December's low crossing is the next downside target. Closes above the reaction high crossing would open the door for a possible test of December's high crossing.

FX - SWISS FRANC


THE SWISS FRANC closed lower on Friday and the lowrange close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Monday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible nearterm. If it extends this winter's rally, monthly resistance crossing is the next upside target. Closes above the 20day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a low has been posted.

FX – STERLING


STERLING - closed higher due to short covering on Friday as it consolidated some of this month's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Monday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signalling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends the decline off July's high, monthly support crossing is the next downside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a top has been posted.
