B-Charts
The September 8th, we broke an important resistance trend line (red one) which started in late October 2008, before to be reached by the top of December 2008.
This trend line was very important to break to confirm our theory of a weak USD (Similar story than what happened to Japan in 1998-2000 with Q.E and JPY devaluation, to create import inflation as we were in a current deflation mood).
On the support trend line (orange), we are holding it from February 2009, when we made a double bottom.
The September 8th breakout, is telling us the next resistance, which is 1.4720. If we break this point the pair drawn a kind of W and the target will be seen as 1.6984 (1.4720-1.2456 = 0.2264, 0.2264+1.4720 = 1.6984) but there is a lot of work before this area.
Fibonacci Long term view
We reached last week 61.8% retracement @ 1.4611 from the high of July 2008 at 1.6040, and 1.2332 from the low of October 2008, so if we arrive to break the 1.4720 area, our medium term target will be 1.6984 and in the other case if we are bouncing from there, our medium term target will be around 1.0920 (1.6040-1.2329 = 0.3711 1.4633-0.3711= 1.0922)
I am more in favour of the first scenario with a retest of 1.6040, the rates broke Ichimoku Kumo on weekly, and we are working above the Kumo on Monthly, we just saw a deleveraging last year, and I believe in a USD devaluation to be more competitive and to create import inflation.
Japanese Candlestick
The current pattern is showing downside risk on short term, we made the last two days two dojis, and we need to see a downside candle today to form a kind of shooting star, and the retracement from 17/8/9 @ 1.4045 to 11/9/9 @ 1.4633
38.2% 1.4408
50.0% 1.4339
61.8% 1.4270
1.4339 area must hold to keep the uptrend movement.
