BERMUDA TRIANGLE FAILED

All-eyes are now watching probes into the long-term 200-day MA at 1.4097. Only a sustained confirmation above here will neutralise the larger bearish downtrend and offer further gains into 1.4220. Failure to hold above the 200-day MA will warn of an emotionally charged
bull-trap and ultimately a sharp downside reversal through 1.3799 (26th Oct low) and 1.3653 (18 Oct low), with scope into 1.3146 (Oct swing low). Watch intermarket relationships across broad risk-related proxies such as
th
the developed equity markets. The euro currently shares a high correlation of 0.85% with the S&P500 which has just climbed to an 8-week high. Inversely, the USD Index is continuing to retrace (from its recent 6-month highs) and is testing initial support at 75.80-55.

Thus, a continuation of weakness would also warn of a breakdown of the recent recovery structure. However, back under 0.7712 is required to change the long-term bullish bias. The recent break lower also opens up the potential for a further extension towards 0.8600, where a return to a bullish bias would become attractive

long-term 200-day MA at 0.9813. Meanwhile, positive momentum needs to push above 1.0264 and 1.0400 to extend the recovery higher above the old resistance level at 1.0673 (August high & Congestion zone). A strong directional confirmation above here will open a much larger
recovery into 1.0850 plus. This would extend the upside breakout from the rates ending triangle pattern, which was part of a major Elliott Wave cycle.
Elsewhere, EUR/CAD is extending above its 200-day MA, within a large multi-month trading range. Key resistance continues to hold at 1.4379 (June swing high), which has for some time marked a strong distribution pattern. CHF/CAD is retesting its support nearby the 200-day MA at 1.1265, following the dramatic price slide lower (triggered by the SNB intervention). The cross-rate has now retraced more than half of its 2011 gains.

120.00. This is suggestive of the potential for a further recovery leg higher to test the region near 123.00. The structure present since 116.84 is deemed corrective, with scope for a final swing higher to complete this corrective phase. However, a sustained push under the recent low at 120.00 will warn of resumption of weakness back towards the floor near 117.00. However, an eventual return to 116.84/98 is expected, below which would open up an extension towards 115.00 immediately. A sustained break over 123.31 is required to change the current bearish
bias. Should this take place a larger corrective phase higher would then be anticipated.

scope is seen for a fresh swing higher to re-test the 107.68 level. However, the larger structure present since 114.18 favours the formation of a lower high close to 108.03, for a return to re-test 100.76. Failure to hold under 108.03 will warn of a larger recovery structure, negating our medium-term bearish bias. Also, if a push over 108.03 can be sustained this will bring into focus a potential false break lower out of a falling channel in the daily timeframe. A move under the annual low would open up an extension to 97.50, ahead

The rise from 0.8530 is viewed as being a corrective structure with scope for a lower high to form closer to the old 0.8886/85 double top. So, although further short-term strength may follow, supply is favoured to manifest near 0.8885. Should this move be realised, it would also take us close to the upper end of the recent trading range. There is an increased probability of general range bound trade, thus short entry at higher levels is also supported by the potential of a return to a period similar to that between 2003 and 2007 (not
shown). A move back over 0.8960 is required to neutralise our mild bearish bias, in a generally rangebound environment.

resistance of an hourly rising channel. The subsequent weakness is currently testing the support of this same structure. A failure to find support here would warn of a larger fall back down to the 1.2000 level. Although bullish for the time being, it is expected that the 1.2500-1.3000 zone may limit the current recovery phase from 1.0075. It is anticipated that the markets willingness to trade with the bias of the SNB may exhaust should this trading region be met, as further gains in this cross are likely to become more dependent on economic releases. A sustained move under 1.2024 will alter our near-term bullish bias.

There is heightened risk of a much larger decline if we confirm a weekly close beneath $1600 and $1554-30 (200-day MA/swing low), which has not been breached in 3 years! A number of bargain hunting trend-followers will be watching this benchmark line in the sand for repeat support or a potential big squeeze
