Forex Morning Commentary_EURUSD breaks 200 day MA

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 06:14 AM PST

The EURUSD broke through the 200 day MA at the 1.3129 level. Risk to 1.3139 now.
The USDJPY moves comfortably above the 100 day MA at 84.06 area. Stay above that level and the upside momentum should continue.

The GBPUSD is looking toward the 38.2%of the move up from the May 2010 low to the high in November. That level comes in at 1.5507

The USDCHF remains a safe haven currency (along with the US dollar) and remains below the 100 day MA at the 1.0060 level. As long as the price can remain below this key technical level, the bias remains to the downside.

EURJPY is under pressure as it tests the 50% retracement of the move up from the August low. The pair has remained below the 100 day MA for the 5th day now and seems to want to make a break to the downside.

Canada had a record current account deficit today which should pressure the C$ (boost the USDCAD). Watching resistance above for that pair

Lower demand for lumber and autos and a strong C$ led to lower exports. The currency effect and weaker demand for building lumber from the US keeps the US fragile. This should pressure the C$ (USDCAD higher). However, the pair has dipped on the report. The intraday support comes in at the 1.0197 level where the 100 and 200 bar MA on the 5 minute chart is found. Look for buyers against this level with stops on a move below.
