For Today
- GBP: Cable opened on a stronger footing just above the 1.2790 level and then did nothing special ranging around the opening areas through to the grey hour, a couple of attempts through to the 1.2786 areas before moving steadily through to the grey hour pushing towards the 1.2800 areas, Downside bids into the 1.2750 areas with likely stronger bids joining the congestive bids, a push through will see weak bids into the 1.2700 areas with stronger bids likely on any test of the 1.2650 areas with those bids likely to continue through to the 1.2630 areas, Topside offers light through to the 1.2900 some congestion around the level with the congestion light stops on a push through the 1.2920 level then further congestion likely to continue through to the 1.3000 areas and the stronger offers appear.
- JPY: Opening unchanged the market moved through into the Tokyo session before really making a move and leaving the highs around the 109.25 area to test through in a few waves through to the 109.00 level before holding through into the grey hours, Topside offers 109.50 levels and increasing further on any push to the 110.00 level likely stronger stops on a push through the 110.20 areas before the market to 110.50 and stronger offers likely to appear in the area. Downside bids light back through the 108.00 areas with weak stops likely on a dip through the 107.80 area and congestion likely through the 107.50 level and continuing into growing bids in the 107.00 areas.
- AUD: A very quiet session for the Oz with the market testing the 0.6860 level to make early highs before drifting through to test just below the 0.8650 and into the current bids before holding quietly above the level into the grey hours, Downside bids light through the 68 cents level with weak stops likely on a dip through the 0.6780 level and opening the market to a limited move initially but renewing the downside potential through to the 0.6680-0.6700 level with weak stops likely on a dip through the 0.6670 level with congestive bids then likely to be patchy but centred around the sentimental 50/00 areas, Topside stronger offers likely through to the 0.6950 areas with limited resistance behind the 0.6960 level but increasing on any move towards the 70 cents level through to 0.7020 and stronger stops a possibility opening up further gains for the long term.
- EUR: Limited movement for the Euro trading through to the Tokyo session moving towards the 1.1025 level before Tokyo opening and a dip through to the 1.1016 area to set the low, the market eventually lifted off those lows and pushed through to the grey hours testing the 1.1025 level to set the range. Downside congestion continues in the current area with the congestion likely to extend through to the 1.1000 areas with weak stops mixed with congestive bids on any dip through the 1.0980 area, and congestion then continuing through to the 109.50 area where stronger bids are likely to start appearing for any move through to the 1.0900 areas, Topside offers weak through to the 1.1100 areas with limited stops on a move through the area however, stronger congestion starts to appear on any push through to the 1.1150 areas and continuing through to the 1.1180 level and stronger offers then appearing on any test towards the 1.1200 level however, while there could be option barriers in the area stops above the level could be an attractive target.
