EUR/USD Breaks below its Neckline on Climbing Volume

The EUR/USD broke below our neckline yesterday, logging the selloff we anticipated. Yesterday’s move came on large volume, continuing the theme of considerable activity to the downside. So far this month we’ve seen rising volume to the downside on 6/4, 6/5, 6/10, and now 6/15. The heightened interest on the sell-side could indicate there is more room to go to the south.

Crude Futures Climb with Confident Consumers

Crude futures are recovering from yesterday’s pullback which saw the futures testing the psychological $70/bbl level and our 2nd tier uptrend line. The futures are now battling with our 3rd tier uptrend line, which presently rests just below previous June highs. Crude is reacting positively to the better than expected economic sentiment data from the EU. Economic data from the EU has been coming in mixed over the past month and a half, including last week’s light showing from industrial production.

9/11 mastermind says torture made him lie during Gitmo interrogations

9/11 mastermind says torture made him lie during Gitmo interrogationsLondon, June 17 : A top Al-Qaeda commander and 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has admitted that he had lied during his interrogation at Guantanamo Bay.

Mohammad said he made up stories to prevent the CIA from torturing him during his detention.

S&P Futures Move Sideways, Investors Await Next Week’s Data

The S&P futures did in fact break below our 1st tier uptrend line yesterday, proceeding to retest May highs and June lows in one swoop. Yesterday’s weak long-term purchases data sent up a red flag and only exacerbated investor fear that declining foreign interest in U. S. debt could compromise the economic recovery taking place due to higher governmental borrowing costs.

Gold Weakens with Equities

Gold continued to decline from its broken neckline yesterday with investors exiting equities and running towards the Dollar for cover. Gold continues to exercise its positive correlation with U. S. equities, and serves as a competent indicator for the S&P futures. Despite yesterday’s decline, losses were tempered as bulls came to the rescue at our critical 1st tier uptrend line.

The 1st tier uptrend line is important since it originates from 2008 lows and touches several lows along the way, including 11/13/08, 4/20/09, and 5/04/09. Therefore, any contraction below our 1st tier uptrend line could result in a relatively quick retest of the highly psychological 900 level.
