DAILY REVIEW 9 February 2016

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. December's candle suggests a retracement is in progress and January's candle is an "inside" of the December candle. We also note that there are no significant orders/ stops lower until the 1.0000 key level. Bias is still strongly down from a market structure perspective.    

MONTH- The candle is a small range (274pips) bear spinning top closing on low vol<1month. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure. 

WEEK- The candle is an above average spread (431pips) bull closing off the high on high vol>6weeks. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.  

DAY- The candle is a large spread (129pips) bull closing off the high on low vol<3days. The candle close and volume suggests absorption of selling completed and more upside.

Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: Tumbling oil prices with the expected additional supply of Iranian oil also creates further uncertainty.

The Oanda order book continues to show net trapped short volumes and new trapped long volumes. 

Potential demand stacks:  1.0804-1.0765

Potential supply stacks: 1.1395-1.1405

Potential long (trapped) stops:  1.1090-1.1080, 1.0676-1.0660, 1.0635-1.0622
Potential short (trapped) stops: 1.1305-1.1315 

Without any high impact news toady, SM is likely to retest the day low 1.1162 or lower before reversing to continue northbound. Volumes are thin but still reasonable.

EU long levels: 1.1100, 1.1047, 1.1000, 1.0800-1.0795  

EU short levels: 1.1300, 1.1350, 1.1400

GU Analysis:

GU: Perspective: GU has closed below April pivot 1.4564. The June close of 1.5701 becomes important as a supply level to overcome for higher prices. The downward bias is still dominant. 

MONTH-  The candle is an above average (736pips) bear closing about 1/4 off the low on low vol>4months. The candle close and volume suggests more downside.

WEEK- The candle is a large spread (440pips) bull closing about 1/3 off the high on very high vol>22days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.
DAY- The candle is an ultralarge spread (194pips) bear spinning top closing on low vol<3days. The candle close and volume suggests lack of selling interest.  

Demand: Weekly/Daily:  1.3705-1.3500 Supply: Short term: 1.5574, 1.5600, 1.5619
