Hey folks,
I'm a bit too tired for a complete recap of all the trends out there, but suffice to say I'm shifting to a more neutral bias on EUR/USD and waiting for clear signs of a bottom, while holding short stocks for further downside in accordance with yesterday's signal.
In news Tuesday, we saw CAD Retail Sales come out too close to expectations, but US Existing Home Sales came in astonishingly low. It's at the lowest level I could find looking through data from the past decade or so, but the USD/JPY could only manage 26 pips of downside, and stocks were already firmly gapped down on the open, so the bad news was limited to a 0.7% drop over 2 minutes on the S&P 500 futures. In news Wednesday:
0400 German IFO Business Climate (105.7 expected) - Last month we hit a big trigger here and went 30 pips in 3 minutes, followed by steady extention to an 80 pip rally over 40 minutes with little retracement. A big surprise here should help set the tone for the session and evoke a nice trend for 30-60 minutes.
If it comes out at 107.7 or higher, EUR/USD should rally 20-30 pips initially and retain a positive bias for the next hour.
If it comes out at 103.7 or lower, EUR/USD should drop 20-30 pips initially and retain a negative bias for the next hour.
0830 US Core Durable Goods (0.5% expected) - A decent trigger here should cause a 25-35 pip move on USD/JPY over 2-3 minutes.
If it comes out at 2.1% or higher, USD/JPY should rally 25-35 pips.
If it comes out at -1.1% or lower, USD/JPY should fall 25-35 pips.
