DAILY REVIEW 25 August 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 but the absorption of selling is likely a precursor to a retest of the 1.1640 and the 23.6% Fib (1.1794) just above it.  

MONTH- The candle is a below-average spread (407pips) bear closing 1/2 off the low on very high vol<1month. The candle close and volume suggests buying. 

WEEK- The candle is an above average spread (370pips) bull closing at the high on low vol>4weeks. The candle close and volume suggests more upside. 

DAY- The candle is an ultra-large spread (342pips) bull closing 1/4 off the high on ultrahigh vol>111days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: Yesterday was the market manifesting fear over worries about China, oil, global growth and the Fed resulting in panic and huge sell-offs. These fears also resulted in the unwinding of long US Dollar positions resulting in gains for the Euro and Gbp but commodity currencies got hammered in line with the sentiment. EU has broken out of a weekly "creek" structure but a retest is likely and in order with the forthcoming or anticipated rate rise.  

The Oanda order book shows very thin volumes in the aftermath of yesterday's slaughter with with more freshly trapped shorts. 
Potential Fresh demand: 1.1405-1.1393, 1.1290-1.1246, 1.1211-1.1200, 1.1186-1.1158, 1.1106-1.1091 
Potential fresh supply: 1.1361-1.1372, 1.1400-1.1408, 1.1443-1.1460
Long (stop) orders: 1.1540-1.1510, 1.1483-1.1464, 1.1420-1.1405, 1.1371-1.1321, 1.1298-1.1292 (low volumes)
Short (stop) orders: 1.1713-1.1746 (low volumes)

After the carnage left by yesterday's panic, the market is thin with prices obviously in an "inside day" owing to yesterday's monster movement. The SM cycle is now long looking toward a test of the 1.2372 level. SM is likely clear out the trapped longs to 1.1515 or lower before reversing to continue the upward move.

EU long levels:  1.1515, 1.1455, 1.1430-1.1420, 1.1387, 1.1290-1.1278, 1.1210-1.1200, 1.1113, 1.1100

EU short levels: 1.1598-1.1605, 1.1670, 1.1700-1.1715


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 a below average spread (402pips) bear hammer closing on very high vol, the highest seen. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

WEEK- The candle is a below average spread (160pips) bull "hammer" closing on vol>1week. The candle close and volume suggests more upside. 

DAY - The candle is a large spread (172pips) bull closing off the high on ultra-high vol>109days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.
