If the DAX fails to close above 13050, we may see a retest back down into the key level of 12921.A close below this level is likely to see a retest of 12714; however if momentum is very strong to the downside we cannot rule out a move to 12566.

For a move higher we would like to see the S&P close above 3066. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 3100. A strong break above this level however sets the stage for a move higher into 3140.

If we cannot hold above 3066, we could see this market retest 3020. A break of this level however may result in quick move down to 3003; and if momentum to the downside remains strong we may see a fast move down to 2985.

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.

For a move higher this week, we would like to see the EURO close above 1.1197. Should this occur, we could then see a move to 1.1249 before a pause. If momentum to the upside is very strong, we could see a move into 1.1297. 

If the EURO cannot close above 1.1197, we could see a move down into 1.1117 before a pause. If this market continues to sell-off, we could see a further move down into 1.1033; however any break of this level may result in a sharp move down to 1.0977.

For a continued move to the upside, we would like to see Cable hold above 1.2868, followed by a retest of 1.3035 and 1.3161 before a pause. Should this occur, we will look for a move to 1.3191 and 1.3277; and if momentum is very strong, we could see a re-test of last week’s highs into 1.3386.

On the downside, should we fail to hold above 1.2868, we will be watching the key 1.2720 level very closely. A strong break below this level however sets this market up for a bigger move down into 1.2622; and if downside momentum remains strong we could see a quick drop into 1.2480.

USD/JPY – 108.17 ( -49 or -0.45% )

The $/YEN sold off aggressively following last week’s BoJ Monetary Policy Statement. We will be discussing the ongoing impact of this in the LIVE CHAT ROOM this week.

 

Note: Monday is a bank holiday in Japan (Culture Day)

 

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 – 1513 ( +9 or +0.6% )

 

Gold is attempting to break to the upside having closed near its highs of last week.

 

For a continued move higher we must now see this market hold 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 hold 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.
