For Today
- GBP: The new poll helped the market to push quickly higher from the opening having dipped initially back to the 1.2890 level and then touching the 1.2950 before Tokyo moved into the market and a slow drift back through to the 1.2920 areas to make the lows and then holding around the 1.2930 area through to the grey hours, Topside offers continue to increase on a move through to the 1.3000 with weak stops on a break through the 1.3010-20 area and open the topside through to the 1.3050 level where stronger offers are likely to appear, downside bids light through to the 1.2900 area with some limited buyers however, a break through the 1.2880 area will likely see weak stops appearing and he market then free to test 1.2850 level again, with stronger bids likely to appear on a dip through to the 1.2800 areas.
- JPY: Dipping quickly as GBPJPY profit taking saw the USDJPY dipping through to the 109.34 level and a weaker Tankan set of numbers the market held the lows before starting a steady rise in midsession to test towards the 109.50 area but unable to push back to the opening levels above there, light bids to the downside through the 109.00 area with weak stops likely through the level and opening a move through to the congested 108.50 areas increasing through to the 108.30 before the market opens a little through to 108.00, Topside offers through the 109.60 level then possible weak stops before running into the ubiquitous 109.80-110.00 and increasing the closer the market moves towards the 110.00 level likely congestion continues through the level a short way before giving way to stronger stops and the market then free to push through the 110.50 level.
- AUD: Dropping quickly back on weaker data saw the oz move from the 0.6775 level to test the 0.6760 before slowly recovering most of the loss through to just below the opening levels the move into the Tokyo session slipped slowly lower through to the 0.6760’s again for the move through to the grey hours, Downside bids light through the 0.6770 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: Rising quickly on the opening with the drag of the Cable tugging it along, moving off the 1.1000 level the market tested weakly through the 1.1010 before drifting back and holding tightly around the 1.1005 level through to the grey hours, Downside weak stops mixed with congestive bids on any dip through the 1.0980 area, and congestion then continuing through to the 1.0950 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.
