Todays Outlook for EUR/USD and GBP/USD

Taken from www.charmercharts.com

EUR/USD:

Euros made it through 1.3245/3250 and on to 1.3273/84 which was the next target and this held the upside.

We have managed to push through here today and we can go on to challenge the recent highs in Feb of
1.3322. The market is starting to look a little over bought in the short term so take profits here with a
good chance we cannot make it any higher today. The 21 week Moving Average and previous high is at
1.3321 plus 100 day MA at 1.3312 and it is worth attempting shorts here in this longer term down trend.
Stops above 1.3360 for a test of 1.3408.

Look for support at 1.3245/50 but below here keeps the market under pressure for 1.3148 and possibly
1.3115/00. Any shorts here need to be covered with the chance of a good bounce. If attempting longs here
we need to place stop losses below 1.3085 as this could lead to a test of support at 1.3056.

GBP/USD:

Cable pushed through 1.5820 resistance and reached the next target at 1.5880 to 1.5910.

Cover all longs to here. If we then manage to push through 1.5910 we should see 1.5940/50
achieved but this should be the top for this move higher and we would expect some strong
selling pressure here. Only a break above the 55 weeks moving average at 1.6012 then
opens the door for further gains to 1.6096/6110.

Support seen at 1.5830/20 for a buying opportunity. However stops needed below 1.5780 as
below here we would look for a move back to the 1.5725/1.5700 support area and we would
then cover shorts and attempt longs. Any longs to here are to be abandoned if we break
1.5690. Then we see 1.5640 as the short term target.

About the author


Carol Harmer has over 30 years experience of analysing and trading the world’s markets and is undoubtedly one of the most respected technical analysts in the world today. 

Her career started in the early eighties, trading futures on the floor at LIFFE where she quickly discovered Technical Analysis as a way to maximise profits. She was one of the first traders on LIFFE to discover and study this form of analysis and quickly became widely recognised as an expert in its use as well as highly profitable. 

This soon led to a position as Senior Technical Analyst for Midland Bank. 

She was later head hunted for the role of Manager of Technical Analysis for Nomura Bank and then as Head of Technical Trading at Credit Suisse. Carol is also one of the first T/A's from a bank to join the  STA (The Society of Technical Analysts) in the mid 80's and has trained and worked with some of the UK’s leading technical analysts.

In 1996 Carol launched 'Charmer Charts' to train independent traders in technical analysis and became the first person to provide daily forecasts for the established traders on the LIFFE floor.

She returned to the floor, trading her own account, advising traders throughout the day and continued her appearances on Bloomberg, CNBC and Reuters financial TV where she provided her valued, expert opinion on the direction of financial markets.
