Thu 11:30 – Unemployment Numbers
For a continued move higher we must now see the ASX hold above 6635. Should this occur, we will look for a test of 6682. If momentum to the upside continues we could see a retest of 6804, and if momentum is very strong we cannot rule out rule out a move to 6850.
If the ASX cannot hold above 6635, we will look for a move back down to 6544. A strong break and close below this level however could see the ASX retest 6435 before a pause; and if downside momentum is very strong, we could see a move down to 6350.

If the DAX fails to close above 12374, we will look for a move back down to 12198. Any break below this level however could see the DAX sell-off sharply into 12000 this week.
US
SP500 – 3005 ( +23 or +0.77% )

If we cannot hold above 3003, we could see this market retest 2985. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 2960; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 2941.

For a move higher, we would first like to see the AUD hold above 0.6873. Should this occur, we will look for a move into 0.6934, and if upside momentum remains very strong we cannot rule out a move to 0.7014 before a pause.
If the AUD cannot hold above 0.6873, we will look for a move lower into 0.6825. A break and close below this level however could see a sharp decline into 0.6762.
EUR/USD – 1.1072 ( +47 or +0.43% )
The Euro caught a lot of people off guard last week. We covered this in LIVE TV and were not surprised by the action as those who tuned in may have noticed.
For a move higher this week, we would like to see the EURO hold above 1.1033; followed by a break back above 1.1197. Should this occur, we could then see a move to 1.1249 before a pause.
If the EURO cannot hold above 1.1033, we could see a move down into 1.0977 before a pause. If this market continues to sell-off, we could see a move down into 1.0902; however any break of this level may result in a sharp move down to 1.0814 before the week’s end.
GBP/USD – 1.2497 ( +214 or +1.74% )

Thu 21:00 – BoE Interest Rate Announcement – LIVE TV
For a continued move to the upside, we would like to see Cable close above 1.2622, followed by a retest of 1.2720 before a pause. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1.2868; and if momentum is very strong, we could see a stronger move into 1.3035.
On the downside, a close below 1.2480 could see this market sell off strongly into 1.2350. Any further weakness below this level could see the Pound continue to slide down into 1.2297; and if momentum to the downside is very strong this week we cannot rule out a move to 1.2195.
USD/JPY – 106.92 ( +119 or +1.11% )
The $/YEN was also stronger last week as we saw this market continue to rally for the second straight week.

VOLATILITY ALERTS:
Thu 12:30 – BoJ Interest Rate Announcement
For a move to the upside we must now see this market close above 108.31, on its way to retesting 109.21 before a pause. A strong break and close above this level could then see the $/YEN rally into 109.94, and if momentum is very strong we could see moves to 110.31 and 110.78.
If we cannot close above 108.31, we could see a fast move lower into 107.75. A break below this level may result in a retest of 107.36 and this is where things get very interesting. A break below this level could mean a very sharp move down to 106.52.
COMMODITIES
GOLD – 1488 ( -17 or -0.99% )
Gold continues to struggle with the overhead resistance we first mentioned a month ago. Can it recover this week? We will be discussing this in the LIVE CHAT ROOM.
For a continued move higher we must now see this market close above 1505. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1526 ; and if momentum remains very strong, a strong break above this level could see Gold rally quickly into 1540 and 1552.
If Gold cannot close above 1505, we will look for a move back down into 1480. A strong break and close below this level could send this market lower into 1470, and if momentum is strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move lower into 1450.
