Daily Key Short Term Technical Levels Tues 05 Sep 2017

FX -  USD showing signs of medium-term (1-3weeks) potential recovery within a longer-term (mult-month) downtrend

• EUR/USD – In the motion of retracting  the previous short-term decline from 1.2070 high printed on 29 August 2017 to 31 August 2017 low. Short-term downtrend remains intact as long as the key 1.1980 short-term resistance(close to 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the previous drop from 29 Aug high to 31 Aug low) is not surpassed. Short-term support now rests at  1.1815/1780 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the previous up move from 17 Aug low to 29 Aug high + pull-back support for former descending range resistance from 03 Aug high).
• GBP/USD – Last Fri, 01 Sep pushed up to an intraday high of 1.2995 has stalled right at the pull-back resistance of a former medium-term ascending trendline from 14 March 2017 low. Short-term range consolidation in progress with key short-term resistance at 1.2980 for a potential push down towards short-term range support at 1.2855/35.
• AUD/USD – Short-term range consolidation in progress with key short-term resistance at 0.8000 for a potential push down towards 0.7870 short-term range support. A break below 0.7870 is likely to open up scope for a short-term downtrend to test the next support at 0.7805 (15 Aug 2017 minor swing low area).
• NZD/USD – Short-term downtrend remains intact with key short-term resistance now at 0.7200 with next support at 0.7080/70 (lower boundary of a medium-term descending channel from 27 Jul 2017 high + Fibonacci projection cluster).
• USD/JPY – The on-going slide from 31 August 2017 high of 110.67 is now hovering just above the 109.20 pull-back support of the former medium-term descending channel from 10 July 2017 high and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the recent rally from 29 August 2017 low to 31 August 2017 high. The 4 hour Stochastic oscillator has flashed bullish divergence signal at its oversold region which indicates a slowdown in downside momentum of the current drop. Potential inflection point for the continuation of its prior short-term uptrend as long as key short-term support at 109.20 holds. Short-term resistance at 111.00/111.10 (congestion area of 04 Aug/16 Aug 2017).
