Technical Analysis – FX Daily Majors

Today’s highlights:

· EURUSD: Clear break above 1.3292/94 negates any defensive bias for a more constructive tone, with risk to the 1.3487/3510 major resistance

· GBPUSD: Eyes the Q1 recovery peak at 1.5991, through which opens the door to the Q4 (near 7-month) high, 1.6167 (interim hurdle 1.6090) 

· AUDUSD: Bounce ahead of the six-month trend line support (1.0310), but only above trend resistance, 1.0545, eases bear risks (we look for a cap here)

· NZDUSD: A further rebound from the upper end of our .8050/7996 target area, but whilst capped below .8282, we see risk into early April lower to .7920

· USDCAD: Recovery failure ahead of critical pivot barriers at 1.0051/71. Risk back to and potentially through the cycle low, .9842 (for .9780 next)

Today’s trades:

· EURUSD: Flat, buy at 1.3220 for 1.3490; exit 1.3120
