A Week To Watch The Euro

FYI | Jul 10 2012

FNArena has added another video to its Investors Education section on the website. This week, ATW's Jerry Simmons takes a new look at the EUR/USD, noting it has completed a five wave move, taking out a pivot low in the process. The question he poses is: will the euro be able to hold this week?

Jerry sees a high rated support in the 1.2270 area, with the next zone down at 1.220, after that it’s a ways down to the next level in the 1.185-1.197 area. If we were break out below the Jan 1st low, Jerry sees it as a great place to set a short trap, so be careful, he warns.

Other than that, he notes a major low was reached back in June 2010 and there could be some seasonal relationships with a double bottom move in June-July, which could prove significant.

Of other instruments, Jerry points out daily crude exploded to the upside last week. That said, he notes it's now sitting at a dual purpose trend line and both have pulled back. The natural gas daily chart is showing a double bounce is in place. However, he sees chance of a potential pull back to the area of 2.64-2.73.

The Nasdaq futures is currently sitting on a 2595-2600 support zone, with the next zone down in the 2570-2580 range. As long as there’s no break below 1.22, Jerry thinks a breakout down won’t be confirmed.
