DAILY REVIEW 11 May 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 a low spread (250pips) bull hammer closing on low vol<19months. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.  

WEEK- The candle is an above average spread (230pips) bear "upthrust" closing at the low on low vol<1week. The candle close suggests more downside.

DAY- The candle is a small spread (51pips) bear closing off the low on low vol>1day. The candle close and volume suggests initial buying.

Levels of interest: Demand: Daily/Weekly:  1.0000  

Background: With there being no clear deadline for the much expected FED rate hike and less than stellar data, the USD continues to weaken. 

Oanda order book:  Trapped short volumes are the significant bunch and in play.

Potential demand stacks:  1.1330-1.1320, 1.1246-1.1230, 1.1210-1.1195, 1.1151-1.1135

Potential supply stacks: not applicable

Potential long (trapped) stops:  1.1386-1.1380, 1.1356-1.1350
Potential short (trapped) stops: not applicable

There are no other major news releases except for the US Crude inventories later today. The short volumes are now in drawdown, expect SM to maintain buying pressure to test the 1.1420 level or higher before reversing.

EU long levels: 1.1380, 1.1350, 1.1320, 1.1310-1.1300, 1.1275-1.1260, 1.1250-1.1240, 1.1228

EU short levels:  1.1420-1.1425, 1.1435-1.1440, 1.1452, 1.1485-1.1491, 1.1500-1.1510, 1.1520-1.1525, 1.1532, 1.1580, 1.16001.1615, 1.1619-1.1630, 1.1711

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 spread (665pips) bull hammer closing on low vol<2months. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

WEEK- The candle is an above average spread (354pips) bear upthrust closing on low vol<1week. The candle close and volume suggests more downside.
DAY- The candle is a below average spread (89pips) bull closing about 1/2 off the high on low vol<5days. The candle close and volume suggests more upside.

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

The Oanda order book: Trapped short volumes are less significant, of more significance are the newly profitable longs and trapped long volumes.

Potential demand stacks: not significant
Potential supply stacks: not significant

Potential long (trapped) stops:  1.4444-1.4432, 1.4420-1.4410, 1.4390-1.4380, 1.4373-1.4340, 1.4317-1.4309, 1.4295-1.4275, 1.4245-1.4238

Potential short (trapped) stops: 1.4473-1.4494, 1.4565-1.4572, 1.4600-1.4610

Price is still contained in an "inside day" of yesterday and Monday. We have the UK Manufacturing news later today. SM is likely to fade shorts to yesterday's high 1.4477 or higher before reversing.

GU long levels: 1.4400-1.4433, 1.4375, 1.4350, 1.4335, 1.4310, 1.4300

GU short levels: 1.4475, 1.4495, 1.4512-1.4521, 1.4535, 1.4554, 1.4570-1.4577, 1.4595, 1.4633, 1.4700-1.4712, 1.4730, 1.4770, 1.4790, 1.4800
