EUR/USD
Weekly Trend direction: Bullish
Weekly trend reversal level: 1.3520
Strategy: Whilst above the weekly trend reversal level, buy dips to support after an entry signal.
Medium term: The euro has broken above the large flag formation which has dominated the technical picture in 2006. Now, whilst above 1.2900 (1.2800 max), the euro remains in an uptrend which is heading back towards 1.3600, the multi-year high, and possibly higher still, towards 1.4100.
Today's trade suggestion: Little change as we hang around the same levels going into the second week in a row. Weekly support has moved up to 1.3520 and the euro is holding quite steadily at current levels without much retracement. This means we may be able to push to a new all-time high this week, with a break above 1.3660 setting off a rally to 1.3700 and then 1.3800. Be prepared to buy dips to 1.3520, and probably just lower than that at 1.3480. Below here and we shall have to allow for a much more significant dip towards 1.3450 and maybe 1.3400, before new attempts to base.
Key G7 Support levels: 1.3520, 1.3490
"Set and forget" entry: BUY 1.3500, stop 1.3460, target 1.3700
Counter-trend opportunities: None
