Conclusion :

Commonly from those good Fundamental signs , I predict the EUR USD will stay in Bullish momentum.


TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Technically , in Stocastic Oscillator indicator seems the two Stocastic Oscillator lines were crossover already at the top and this indicate the trend will moving down . But there is still possibilities the trend will only stay in floating movement as described in point “ D “ in my chart. That's why to make a propper analysis we have to take a look another indicators as well.

While VOLUME indicator shows the market will getting stronger .

According to Fundamental optimism , the raising up of the market are conformed as Bullish mode but in smaller Trading Range. However the pairs rising will not be too sharp as last period. This situation indicate from Bollinger Band is getting narrow and the pairs are stay intact above Bollinger Middle Band.

Mean while level 1.4478 which was a Strong Resistance level for several times , is changed become a Strong Support level in this period . This situation also conformed the Bullish momentum of EUR USD.

In making the chart , considering the significantly trend movement comparing last period , I place Fibonacci 0.0 at level 1.4478 , because in this level the strong reversal point was happened as pointed “ B “ in my chart.

And for Fibonacci 100 , I still place it at 1.4843 , as my last week chart , considering this level is not broken yet . So I assume this level is still significant as Fibonacci 100.

You must be aware around 1.4659. If the pairs are moving down , it suppose to hold around 1.4617 Fibonacci 38.2 ( pointed “ C “ in my chart ). Because in this level in October 2nd , there are two Moving Average lines were crossover with Bolinger Middle Line . And thats why I place this level as Support 1.

Hold your position or becarefull if the falling movement is appear as last Friday happened. Wait until the pairs raising up again , and you can entry in Long mode. If the pairs hit the Resistance 1 at 1.4791 , it will lead the pairs to keep moving up toward Resistance 2 at 1.4843. I describe the trend movement prediction as blue line in my chart

Keep in mind to be carefull in your position toward due of Jean Claude Trichet speech . An unexpected market movement may happen cause by panic respon from any rumors.


Trading range : 1.4659 – 1.4843 between Fibo 50 – Fibo 100
Support 1 : 1.4617 Fibo 38.2
Support 2 : 1.4478
Resistance 1 : 1.4791
Resistance 2 : 1.4843 Fibo 100 as last week
Target : 1.4755
Stop Loss : 1.4478 Fibo 00
Trend : Potensial UP

Happy Trading,

EUR USD OCTOBER 5 -9 SLOWER in BULLISH MOMENTUM



As my prediction in my last article : “ EUR USD September 21 – 25 Techincally Bullish Supported by Strong Fundamental“ , the EUR USD is really fell and breaking 1.4589 as I wrote.

In this week , I predict the EUR USD will continuing it bullish momentum but in slower movement. Here's my analysis :

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

Some of important Fundamental news in this week as follows :

Retail Sales
Rise at – 0.2 % better than expectation at – 0.4 %. This number is conformed already at Sunday October 5.

Final GDP q/q
The economy shrank by only - 0.1% in the second quarter , and that is not too bad in Europe. By this period the number will expected unchanged at - 0.1 %. This number is expected to be confirmed on Wednesday October 7 at 9:00 GMT

German Industrial Production m/m
A rise of 1.6% is expected to follow last month’s 0.9% decline. This number is expected to be confirmed on Thursday October 8

Considering that Europe economic is slowly recovering , ECB will probably keep the Bid Rate unchanged, at 1%. This major event is due on Thursday October 8 at 11:45 GMT.

French Industrial Production
Europe’s second largest economy, France, also showed slow and steady recovery. Industrial production is expected to rising by 0.4% after a 0.1% rise last month. This number is expected to be confirmed on Friday October 9 at 6:00 GMT.

Jean Claude Trichet Speech
As well as ECB Press Conference, as the head of ECB , Trichet's speech will influence the market movement . This event is due on Friday at 8:30 GMT.


Commonly from those good Fundamental signs , I predict the EUR USD will stay in Bullish momentum.



TECHNICAL ANALYSIS


Techincally , the Stocastic Oscillator indicator shows the trend will moving up , considering the two Oscillator's lines are crossover in bottom level already.

Meanwhile VOLUME indicator shows falling movement it may appear. But considering the Fundamental optimism , a raising movement it may conformed. Even so , the raising movement will be slowly considering the market movement in this period is still resist by falling Upper Trend Line ( blue trend line in my chart )

As my last week chart , I put Fibonacci 0.0 at 1.4309 where two Moving Average lines are crossover already. And Fibonacci 100 at 1.4843 , lower than last period.

I predict the market will fluctuation around Fibonacci 61.8 at 1.4645 but it will stay intact in Bullish Momentum .

Keep in mind to be carefull in your position toward due of ECB Press Conference and Jean Claude Trichet speech . An unexpected market movement may happen cause by panic respon from any rumors.

Trading range : 1.4432 – 1.4709
Support : 1.4432 Fibo 23.6
Resistance : 1.4709 ( two MA lines are crossover )
Target : 1.4645 around Fibo 61.8
