EUR/USD
The EUR/USD pair initially fell during the course of the day on Monday, but as you can see we bounced slightly in order to form a bit of a hammer. However, the range was very tight, and as a result we believe that even if we do see some bullish pressure now, it's going to have a fight on its hands to get above the 1.35 handle. With that, we are more than comfortable sitting on the side lines waiting for the market to come to the 1.35 region in order to sell the first signs of weakness.
GBP/USD
The GBP/USD pair bounced during the session on Monday, as the 1.68 level has offered enough support to at least do that. We believe them the British pound has been sold off a bit too much, and as a result we think that a return to the 1.70 level is likely, and as result that's what we are expecting. If we can get above the 1.70 level, we feel the market could go to the 1.72 handle after that. On the other hand, if we get weak candle at the 1.70 handle, we feel that the market will more than likely sell off again.
AUD/USD
The AUD/USD pair initially fell during the day on Monday, but as you can see found enough support to turn things back around and form a hammer. This hammer tells us that the market wants to go higher, but we need to get above the 0.9350 level in order to feel that we reenter the consolidation that leads to the 0.9450 handle. Ultimately, we believe that the market is trying to build up enough momentum to break out, which would be signified by a daily close well above the 0.95 handle. Once we get back, we are longer-term buy-and-hold type of traders.
USD/JPY
The USD/JPY pair initially fell during the course of the day on Monday, but as you can see about enough support of the 102.50 level to turn things background and form a hammer. Because of this, we believe that the market will make another attempt at the 103 level in the short term, but whether or not we can get above there is probably a completely different story. That area is a significant amount of resistance, so we prefer taking short term long positions. At this point in time, we have no interest in selling this pair.
