Tech Musings:- Currencies


Finally after a long wait dollar is showing momentum and appreciating against Euro, GBP and other major currencies.  In my previous post on currencies written on June 10th 2014 I wrote the following, “From the current levels of 80.75 DXY can hit 85 levels. Any further up move will depend on DXY breaking 85 – 86 levels.




If we look at the given chart of DXY we can see that it is breaking out of a long term consolidation pattern and next target for DXY is around 85 – 86 levels.


Euro is currently trading at 1.3320. I have given a sell call on Euro in Jan 2014 when it was trading at around 1.3658. I expect the down trend in Euro to continue and accelerate going further. Target for Euro stays below 1.30 levels.



GBP also gave away finally after months of sustained Bull Run. In my previous post on GBP, I gave a sell with a stop loss of 1.7050. GBP made a high of 1.7116 before it started this correction. Currently GBP is trading at around 1.6619 and I expect this correction to continue.





Yen saw a spectacular correction from 79 levels to 105 levels in matter of few months. Readers may remember my sell call on yen given on 16thNovember 2012 which was bang on target.

Yen had consolidated for almost a year since that massive bear market and recently it broke out of that consolidation. I expect the next wave of correction to start in Yen which will target 108 – 115 level and beyond. 






I am also adding Swedish Kroner to this section. As you can see in the charts given below Swedish Kroner has also broken out of a long term bull market and will continue to see sustained deprecation against USD.



Summary:-
1.       Dollar bull market will continue with a target of 85 - 86 for DXY.
2.       Euro, GBP, Yen, CAD and Kroner should continue to depreciate against DXY
