DAILY REVIEW 23 July 2015

EU Analysis:

EU: Perspective: Price has tested and broken through the 1.0500 which is simply a monthly low and psychological level with the next pyschological level at 1.0000 and the 0.9900 level being the breakout retest of a reaccumulation structure. Bias is still strongly down.  

MONTH- The candle is an above average spread (647pips) bear equal-bodied (same size of wicks) spinning top closing on very high vol<2weeks. This is absorption of selling. The candle close and volume suggests more upside. 

WEEK- The candle is an above average spread (368pips) bear closing at the low on low vol<2weeks. The candle close and volume suggests more downside. 

DAY- The candle is a large spread (157pips) bull closing about 1/5 off the high on low vol>2days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: Last week saw the "rescue" of the Greek economy with the "Grexit" being avoided.... at least for now. IMF has also stated that Greece will not be able to meet its debt obligations without some of it being forgiven. US Housing starts probably precipitated Gold prices falling to 2010 levels as the US Dollar gained traction. We had Yellen reaffirming that rates would be raised this year. Then of course, later we have the "caveat" from FED's Fischer that inflation is still too low. Sentiment in the Eurozone is not particularly great at the moment and the French President is now calling for a European "Government", something that is sorely needed if the EU is going to reinvent itself as monetary union in itself without fiscal union is going to be impossible in practice.

The Oanda order book huge significant net trapped short volume. 
Potential Fresh demand: 1.0909-1.0895, 1.0887-1.0879, 1.10875-1.10869, 1.10850-1.10840, 1.10829-1.10800 
Potential fresh supply: 1.0947-1.0960, 1.1026-1.1035, 1.1050-1.1060, 1.1081-1.1109
Long (stop) orders: 1.0930-1.0920, 1.0865-1.0855
Short (stop) orders: 1.0968-1.0985, 1.1005-1.1018 

The strong US data yesterday was reason enough for SM to remove weak longs and push back up again. SM is likely to continue buying pressure to test the 1.0995 -1.1000 key level or higher before reversing. 

EU long levels: 1.0918-1.0900

EU short levels: 1.0970-1.0985,  1.1100-1.1005


GU Analysis:

GU: Perspective: GU has closed strongly past the last month's low 1.4633 and looks headed toward  the next monthly pivot 1.4225 monthly pivot which is the next possible level of support/demand. However, structures below and the close above 1.5550 indicate a return to the 1.6000 level and higher is quite possible. 

MONTH-  The candle is an above average spread (725pips) bear upthrust closing on very high vol>3months.  The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

WEEK- The candle is a below average sread (224pips) bull large body spinning top closing on high vol<2weeks. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

DAY - The candle is a normal spread 99pips) bull closing about 1/3 off the high on low vol>3days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

Demand: Weekly/Daily:  1.4870 - 1.4812, 1.4229 Supply: Short term: 1.5574, 1.5600, 1.5619 

The Oanda order book has traders trapped in both directions. 

Potential demand stacks: 1.5460-1.5450 (vols are very low)
Potential supply stacks: 1.5635-1.5665, 1.5726-1.5750, 1.5762-1.5780

Potential long (trapped) stops:  1.5575-1.5558, 1.5522-1.5497, 1.5449-1.5483, 1.5449-1.5425, 1.5400-1.5390

Potential short (trapped) stops: 1.5670-1.5680, 1.5715-1.5727, 1.5796-1.5805 

With the UK data later today, we can reasonably expect SM to whip down to take stops before pushing back up. SM is likely to retest the 1.5528 or lower before resuming the upward move. 

GU long levels: 1.5575-1.5560, 1.5525-1.5500

GU short levels: 1.5675-1.5685, 1.5715-1.5725, 1.5797-1.5807
