NZDUSD: Stuck between a rock and a hard place
NZDUSD has remained in a fairly tight range for the last 24 hours or so, with the pair trapped by support and resistance levels. On the downside, the 200hr SMA is providing the first level of defence, currently around 0.7960, followed closely by the pair’s 50.0% retracement level from its high on the 15th, which is around 0.7945. On the other side of the equation, the 100hr SMA is providing resistance. Overall, the aforementioned levels are keeping the pair fairly close to its 38.2% retracement level from its high on the 15th.
In the short-term, there is a potential bullish crossover in hourly MACD which may see the pair back to its 100hr SMA, currently around 0.8025. This theory is supported by an earlier bullish divergence between price action and RSI.
However, if price action were to break back below the 200hr SMA, we may see a push towards the aforementioned 50% retracement (a break of which would be very bearish in our opinion).

EUR/USD: 4-hour
Here's my take on everyone's favorite pair, EUR/USD! Just like Cable, the pair has now retraced and is testing the 38.2% Fibonacci level. Keep in mind that this happens to lineup with 1.3200, which was a major support level last week. With Stochastic crossing over out of oversold territory, is it time to start buying?

US 10-year yield may test long-term trendline resistance at 2.75%
US treasury yields have soared across the board after the more hawkish FOMC announcement earlier this week, whereby Bernanke openly stated “the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year…we would continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchase around midyear”.
This saw the 10-year yield break above notable levels of resistance:
- 2.33% – 2010 Low
- 2.384% – 38.2% retracement of 2010-12 decline
- 2.39/42% – October 2011 & 2012 Highs
Additionally, weekly RSI decisively broke above the key 65 level (signaling the end of downtrend). Earlier today the 10-year yield broke above the key psychological 2.50% level, which is a point not seen since August 2011, and potentially opens the door to further upside momentum.
Next potential resistance levels:
- 2.57/58% – 50% retracement of 2011-12 decline & 200-week sma
- 2.75% – Trendline resistance drawn from 2007 high
Interestingly, weekly RSI appears to have broken above corresponding trendline resistance in advance to price, which suggests at minimum a test of the noted 2.75% level, with a potential break above it over the coming weeks.

EURUSD broke below 1.3170 support
EURUSD broke below 1.3170 support, suggesting that the uptrend from 1.2796 had completed at 1.3415 already, deeper decline could be expected, and the target would be at the lower line of the price channel on daily chart.As long as the channel support holds, the price action from 1.3242 could be treated as consolidation of the longer term uptrend from 1.2747, another rise towards 1.4000 is still possible after consolidation. On the downside, a clear break below the channel support will indicate that rise from 1.2747 is consolidation of the downtrend from 1.3711, then the following downward movement could bring price to 1.2500 zone.
