CHF came lower breaking 9165 which triggered a move to the 9120/9110 support which
has held thus far. If we can maintain above this support we have a good chance of trading
higher to 9165/70 initially but with greater potential for 9205.
Here we would be taking profits on longs and attempting small shorts once more.. We would
keep stops on shorts on a break of 9230.
Now if we see this lose 9110 we would be looking at the 50% med term fib level of 9080.
We would advise any sellers once more to cover to here.
We would expect this Fib level to at least hold the downside for the first attempt thus we are
buyers on weakness to here looking for the market to hold and trade higher…
Below 9065 and we see 9010 quite quickly.
EUR/GBP headed higher to unwind those oversold indicators. The recovery made it thorugh our upper target of 83374/400 to reach the 61.8% Fibonacci level of 83546. If we make it though here today look for 83765 and a break above 83850 is then required for a continued move higher with 8400 and 84100 the targets. If the market fails to hold above 83370/35 we could see the market retreat back to 83200 and pssibly 83000-82990. Cover any shorts here in case of a bounce but watch for a move below 82901 to keep the pressure on for 82754
