Watching currencies
The Euro is forming a possible intermediate base building pattern that is completed on a move above 113.83. Daily momentum indicators (Stochastics, RSI, MACD) have turned higher.
The U.S. Dollar Index and its related ETN are forming a possible double top pattern that is completed on a move below $25.62 by the ETN and by 95.54 by the Index. Daily momentum indicators (Stochastics, RSI, MACD) have turned lower.
Trading activity in currency markets this week is notoriously below average. However, a breakout by the Euro and/ or a breakdown by the U.S. Dollar, if it happens, will attract significant attention by technical traders. Strongest responses will occur in commodity prices, notably gold.
