Daily Technical Outlook by AceTrader on EUR/USD

????? EUR/USD ? 1.4388? Once again, there is no end to recent intra-day wide
swings in the single currency as market participants positioned n then unwound
their positions ahead of today?s key speech by Fed chief Bernanke. Despite intra
-day bounce to 1.4475 in European morning, failure to re-test previous day?s?
1.4482 high prompted st speculators to turn short on euro, price later tumbled?
to 1.4328 in NY morning but short-covering quickly lifted the pair to 1.4389.
????? Looking at the daily & hourly charts, although y?day?s weakness suggests
downside bias is seen, euro remains confined inside recent established broad
range of 1.4259-1.4500 n below lower lvl needed to signal early fall fm 1.4518
has resumed n bring stronger correction of the erratic rise fm 1.4055 (Aug?s
low) to 1.4191 (70.7% r), however, as the hourly oscillators? readings wud be in
o/sold territory on such move, reckon minor sup at 1.4104 wud hold fm here.
???? Today, as price is currently trading below both 21-hr n 55-hr emas, trad-
ing euro fm short side is favoured. Only abv 1.4430 wud risk gain to 1.4475/82
but only break of 1.4537 signals upmove fm 1.3838 has resumed, 1.4580, then
1.4696.
