This has been a busy week for central Banks around the Globe

The US markets ended mixed on Thursday after seeing early strength. The initial strength on Wall Street was partly on account of a positive reaction to news of a surprise interest rate cut by China's central bank. The markets also benefited from the release of a report showing a decline in initial jobless claims in the week ended June 2. However, stocks pulled back well off their highs as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke began to testify before the Joint Economic Committee in Washington. While the Dow increased by 46.2 points or 0.4% to 12,461.0, the Nasdaq fell 13.7 points or 0.5% to 2,831.0 and the S&P 500 edged down 0.1 points to 1,315.0 Bernanke says Federal Reserve stands ready to act to protect the financial system and economy in the event that financial stresses from the European crisis escalate. However, the testimony to congress didn’t contain explicit cues about whether further easing is coming soon.

SUMMARY : Up

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The pair has retreated from the 1.2620 area. The 1.2540 level will be a key pivot, below the trendline near 1.25. A break below 1.25 will suggest completion of a consolidation pattern, which could be seen as a flag. The break below can open up June’s low in the 1.2285-1.23 area. Failure to break below 1.2540 followed by a push back above the pre-Bernanke high at 1.2620 opens up the 1.2820 level. This is the 200-SMA in the 4H chart and also a resistance pivot from May 22.

A break above 1.5515 will confirm and accelerate the bullish scenario mainly targeting 61.8% level. Only a break below 1.5360 will negate and give a reason for pause.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The trading range for today is among key support at 77.60 and key resistance now at 80.00. The general trend over short-term basis is to the upside targeting 81.45 as far as areas of 77.20 remain intact. The pair has successfully broken out of the falling channel since March and there is a possibility of a reversal in trend taking shape with more upside to come. It is still a little early to be sure but if the price action today closes above the channel then this could constitute a valid break-out and indicate a continuation of the rally higher, with 50 and 100 day MA's at 80.15 targeted initially and possibly 80.75 thereafter.
