Topped around 1.5950 before falling to 1.5650, 1.5600 may offer good base for the near next time.

khalidamassi avatar

EUR performed mixed VS majors,  ECB Draghi did not give any new hint, CPI data still not encouraging as Final CPI Y/Y 1.1% VS 1.2% expected, next week EU PMI data and Germany ZEW indicator will be  the most effected EU news, in other hand, Aussie performed worst VS majors, no significant data last week, but NAB business confidence fell from 11 to 9, next week will be so important as we can check RBA meeting minutes and Aussie employment data.

Pair closed day and week around top 1.5927, still seen bullish and 1.6000 in the way.

Still around top far below critical 1.5800, only close below 1.5500 open door for bears again.

khalidamassi avatar

EUR performed well last week as EU data still help, German GDP still surge at +0.6%, EU flash GDP still at highest level at +0.6%, Trade balance still at highest levels and higher Eu still not affecting trade balance numbers, in other hand, Aussie performed mixed as employment data came with expecation, as employment added +16K as expected, unemployment rate at 5.5% as expected.

khalidamassi avatar

Still below critical resistance 1.5800, now holds around 1.5600, bearish sentiment increased.

khalidamassi avatar

EUR tried to holds last week gains but EU flash manufacturing and services failed to keep Eur strong as most data came below expectation, also no surprise from final EU CPI data which came at 1.3% as expected filed to fuel EUR. Next week, just take care of last month Germany and EU CPI which will mostly affect EUR, In other hand, Aussie seemed bottomed last week against most pairs but selling pressure still high, no significant data for Aussie last week and none for next week so still expected quiet trading for Aussie.

khalidamassi avatar

Still stuck in narrow range between 1.5600-1.5800 with no clear direction.

Pair failed again at 1.5400 and closed the week around bottom at 1.5290 and this implies more losses still ahead.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro performed very well last week as more good data came from EU economy, more strong EU data and finally Grand coalitions in Germany, Germany looked to work with Macron France to strengthen euro zone economy and reforms, all of this send euro to highest level in 3years, In other hand, Aussie gained more traction last week as Aussie got supported from strong retail sales 1.2% from 0.4 expected and strong building approval numbers which came at 11.7% from -0.9% expected and all of this give more demand for Aussie especially against USD.

khalidamassi avatar

1.5150 was strong base for pair which attempt again to close above 1.5400, next week do critical for the pair.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro performed mixed as more good data came from EU economy, more strong EU data but no clear Grand coalitions in Germany as there is opposition in SPD party which is expected to make final decision on Sunday 21/01, Germany Merkel fate at the decision of SPD, Euro will be affected, In other hand, Aussie gained more traction last week as Aussie got supported from strong Employment data which add 35K employer after 63K month ago,  Aussie data surged and also got help from better Chinese data.

khalidamassi avatar

Critcal 1.5400 still cap any pair up movment, break below 1.5250 will intensify pair selling.

bottomed again 1.5500 and still 1.5700 is expected to cap pair gains, 1.5800 is unltimate resistance for pair till now.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro hold steady last week after some improvement of ECB projections, EU data still so solid, In other hand,Aussie stabilized after FOMC meeting and solid Aussie numbers, Chinese data also help Aussie to improve well.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair suffered free fall last week as it opened the week at 1.5700 and closed near 1.5300 with strong bearish close in all time frames.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro performed well last week as more good data came from EU economy, Catalonia Vote did not affect euro so much, ECB speakers spoke loudly last week at QE end after the last 9 month extension, In other hand, Aussie benefited from Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook which were better and also with better Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes which help Aussie to hold recent gains around 0.7700.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair again falied to close above 1.5400,now holds just around 1.5350, as it is below 1.5400 so 1.5000 can be seen.
