Here\u2019s an update on the fiber or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/finance?q=eurusd\">EURUSD<\/a> pair. As you can see, the pair has managed to bounce off the 1.3000  support and the uptrend line which I noted in my previous post (kindly  see it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2010\/07\/30\/critical-time-for-the-euro-tonight-july-30-2010\/\">here<\/a>)  to mark a new 3-month high. You see, the pair has been rising since it  bottomed out back in June 7. And in the process of doing so, it also  broke out from a inverted head and shoulders and escaped from its  downtrend line, placing it back on the bullish track. If you look at its  present chart, you will see that it has recently achieved its minimum  upside target (gauged by projecting the height of the pattern from the  point of breakout) which I mentioned way back when it had just broken  out from the inverted head and shoulders. Still, the pair could be up  for a retracement soon. For one, there is a resistance around 1.3270.  Moreover, the stochastics is already indicating that conditions are  overbought. In case it weakens, it could fall back down to 1.3000 or  1.2750. On the positive side, a break above 1.3270 could propel it  higher towards 1.3750.<\/p>\n<p>Fundamentally, the 1.99% jump in the Dow Jones Industrial Average  (DJIA) yesterday led investors to dump the US dollar in favor of the  higher yielding assets which consequently pushed the anti-dollar  currencies like the EUR higher. Corporations in the US like the Coca  Cola Company and Chevron topped the market\u2019s second quarter earnings  forecast, lifting the confidence of the general investors and the market  as a whole. A bunch of second and third tier US forms are scheduled to  release their financials this week. Now if most of them post some  handsome profits for the same period again, then the equities markets  together with the non-dollar currencies could still rise. Missed  profits, on the other hand, coupled with some profit taking actions  could, however, temporarily push the equities and the likes of the euro  down.<\/p>\n<p>More on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day FX maniacs!
