Daily analysis of major pairs for January 11, 2016

The USD/JPY moved southward last week; by roughly 200 pips. The price made several attempts to break the demand level at 117.50 to the downside, but with no success. The price still shows the determination to go further south, which may eventually enable it to go below the demand level at 117.50.

EUR/USD: This market went down from Monday to Wednesday; and went upwards from Thursday till the close of the market on Friday. This week would see what shall happen to the market, but the bearish bias would not be over unless the price goes above the resistance line at 1.1000, which is a formidable line.

USD/CHF: This pair experienced mixed signals last week. From Monday till Wednesday, the price went upwards, reaching the resistance level at 1.0100. However the price started coming down from Thursday, which is now a threat to the recent bullish effort. The Bullish Confirmation Pattern would hold as long as the price does not go below the support level at 0.9850.

GBP/USD: The Cable went down by additional 220 pips last week. Since December 14, 2015, the price has come down by 700 pips, which is something that favors trend following a great deal. Any rallies in the market should be seen as opportunities to sell short, because it is much more likely that the bearish trend would continue.

USD/JPY: The USD/JPY moved southward last week; by roughly 200 pips. The price made several attempts to break the demand level at 117.50 to the downside, but with no success. The price still shows the determination to go further south, which may eventually enable it to go below the demand level at 117.50.

EUR/JPY: This cross nosedived by 350 pips last week, testing the demand zone at 127.00. From that demand zone, the price bounced upwards by 200 pips, reaching the supply level at 129.00. On Friday, the price came down a bit, in the context of a downtrend. The bearish bias is valid and the upward bounce of 200 pips we saw might be another opportunity to sell short at a better price.
