DAILY REVIEW 28 March 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 while February's candle also closed back inside the January range. 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.    

MONTHThe candle is an above average spread (561pips) upthrust closing on average vol>7months. The candle close and volume suggests more downside. 
WEEKThe candle is a small spread (140pips) bear closing near the low on vol<11weeks. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure.  
DAYThe candle is a very small spread (28pips) bear spinning top closing on very low vol<321days. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure which is to be expected as last Friday was Good Friday. 
Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: The US economy continues to send mixed signals.Forex Live says ".. initial claims continued to show a strong employment picture.... On the negative side, Durable goods data disappointed. And then there was James Bullard. He made his initial comments at 8:15 AM ET where he said that Fed forecast suggest next hike may not be far off, then he started backtracking a bit..." 

Oanda order book:  There is new trapped short volumes and are clearly in play with "demand" just below. 
Potential demand stacks 1.1149-1.1135, 1.1110-1.1095
Potential supply stacks: not applicable
Potential long (trapped) stops not applicable
Potential short (trapped) stops: not applicable

Easter Monday is a public holiday in Australia, Italy, Switzerland, UK, Germany, France and New Zealand therefore expect thin trading today. There is US Pending Home Sales data release later. SM is likely to maintain selling pressure to retest last week's low 1.1144 or lower before reversing long.

EU short levels: 1.1280-1.1290, 1.1300, 1.1335, 1.1352, 1.1384, 1.1473

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 a large spread (832 pips) bear inverted hammer closing on average vol>10months. The candle close and volume suggests initial buying.
WEEKThe candle is an above average spread (410pips) bear closing near the low on low vol<11weeks. The candle close suggests more downside.
DAYThe candle is a small spread (50pips) bear closing 1/2 off the low on very low vol<538days. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure.

The Oanda order book: The trapped volumes are overwhelmingly long.

Potential long (trapped) stops not applicable
Potential short (trapped) stops: 1.4110-1.4090, 1.4055-1.4032

As stated above, UK is having Easter Monday holiday. SM is is likely to fade the weak longs by retesting the 1.4080 level or lower.

GU long levels: 1.4080, 1.4030-1.4020
