A rebound failure Friday, again capped by resistance at 1.0660/80 after a probe Thursday just below the key 1.0520 low from December 2015, setting the risk lower again for Monday.
For Monday/ Tuesday:
- We see a downside bias through 1.0517, then 1.0500 and maybe critical 1.0459 (the 2015 multi-year low).
- However, a push above 1.0628 aims for 1.0660 and 1.0680.
Furthermore, the probe of 1.0520 reinforces the aggressive sell-off through 1.0987 after the Wednesday US Presidential election result, enhancing the intermediate-term bearish theme.
Short/ Intermediate-term Outlook – Downside Risks:
- We see a negative tone with the bearish threat to 1.0520 and maybe parity (1.0000).
What Changes This? Above 1.1300 signals a neutral tone, only shifting positive above 1.1366.

Once more another new cycle high Friday through a strong barrier at 113.80 and despite a setback, support at 112.70 is intact, to leave upside pressures intact from the recent push above the 50% retracement of the entire 2015-16 sell-off at 112.42.
This keeps the risk higher again Monday and further enhances the intermediate-term bullish trend.

- But only below 112.53 shifts to a more negative tone to open risk to 112.03.
Short/ Intermediate-term Outlook – Upside Risks:
- We see a positive tone with the bullish threat to 113.80 and 114.88.
- Above here targets 115.59, 117.53 maybe as high as 120.00/10.
What Changes This? Below 108.51 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below 105.99.
