DAILY REVIEW 18 April 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.    

MONTH- The candle is an above average spread (589pips) bull closing at the high on low vol<1month. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.  

WEEK- The candle is a normal spread (231pips) bear large body spinning top closing on low vol<2weeks. The candle close and volume suggests no selling pressure.

DAY- The candle is a below average spread (71pips) bull spinning top closing on low vol<4days. The candle close and volume suggests intial buying. 

Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: The FOMC Minutes release put in a nutshell simply says, "we want to raise rates but we won't tell you until we see more supporting data"..... This has led to continued USD weakness and will continue to do so.

Oanda order book:  Trapped short volumes are still in the majority but volumes have thinned.

Potential demand stacks:  1.1153-1.1140

Potential supply stacks: not applicable

Potential long (trapped) stops:  not applicable
Potential short (trapped) stops: 1.1500-1.1605,1.1622-1.1635, 1.1670-1.1680

Prices opened slightly gapped up but has since closed and now looks to be pushing back higher again. There are no major news releases today. SM is likely to maintain selling pressure to the current low of 1.1276 level or lower before reversing.

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.

WEEK- The candle is a below average spread (257pips) bull closing 1/2 off the high on low vol<2weeks. The candle close and volume suggests initial seeling.
