USD: In the red against all the Majors Year To Date

Mar-07 07:45
  • Looking at the overnight session for the Dollar, it was a mixed session, the Yen was up some 0.32% at some point and the Aussie was down 0.54% ahead of the European Open.
  • Overall of course, this Week's performance for the Dollar is one of its worst in over two years, and is in the red against all the majors YTD, with the SEK up 9.44% just for that period.
  • Cross assets remain extremely Volatile, just looking at the Estoxx Futures (VGH5), it fell over 200 points from Monday into Tuesday, and has rallied back ~3.6% from Tuesday to Wednesday.
  • Today, VGH5 trades within Yesterday's range, but the early underlying bid in Risk is pushing DXY to session low, and the Greenback tests intraday lows against the EUR, CHF, PLN, TWD, GBP, SEK, NOK, and CZK.
  • Yesterday's high in the EURUSD is at 1.0853.

EQUITY TECHS: E-MINI S&P: (H5) Bear Threat Remains Present 

Feb-05 07:36
  • RES 4: 6178.75 High Dec 6 and key resistance    
  • RES 3: 6162.25 High Jan 24 
  • RES 2: 6147.75 High Jan 31 
  • RES 1: 6069.00 High Feb 3                
  • PRICE: 6031.75 @ 05:02 GMT Feb 5 
  • SUP 1: 5935.50 Low Feb 3           
  • SUP 2: 5892.37 76.4% retracement of the Aug 5 - Dec 6 bull leg
  • SUP 3: 5842.50 Low Jan 14 
  • SUP 4: 5809.00 Low Jan 13 and a key resistance 

Monday’s initial sell-off in the S&P E-Minis contract and  breach of support at 5948.00, the Jan 27 low, strengthens a bearish threat and cancels - for now - a recent bullish theme. An extension down would open 5892.37, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial resistance is at 6069.00, Tuesday’s intraday high. Gains are considered corrective, however, a stronger rally would expose key resistance at 6178.75, the Dec 6 high.
