9/30/2008 – GBP/USD – Price action on the key GBP/USD pair (a daily chart of which is shown) has been in strong bearish mode since the beginning of the week as the dollar has strengthened across the board. This has manifested itself into what is appearing to be a continuation of the downtrend that has been in place since late-July. Momentum on this pair still appears to be unmistakably down, with little in the way of a strong bottom in sight.

Price has broken down below support barrier after support barrier, including several significant Fibonacci levels. Currently, as of Tuesday mid-morning in New York, fast-moving price-action has moved down below a key 61.8% Fibonacci level, and any continued bearish momentum could now target the major support that resides first around 1.7750, and then eventually around the 1.7450 region.

9/29/2008 – USD/JPY – Price action on the USD/JPY daily chart, as shown, has just reached up to a key downtrend line (represented by the short red line), and then subsequently bounced down considerably off this line, respecting its resistance once again. This last touch is at least the fourth time in the line’s existence that price has respected its boundary, and the line should continue to serve as resistance at least for the near-term.

To the downside, as of Monday morning (New York session), price is currently approaching both an uptrend support line and a significant horizontal support/resistance line that are converging around the 103.70-104.00 price region. A breakdown below this support zone should hit further support around the 102.50 level.

9/26/2008 – GBP/USD – Price action on the 4-Hour GBP/USD chart, as shown, is currently languishing in somewhat of a sideways consolidation, much like other major currency pairs.

As of Friday morning (New York session), price has been hugging a relatively well-defined uptrend support line (in green) after falling down off of a significant downtrend resistance line (in red). This downtrend line should continue to serve as resistance in the event of a pronounced bounce up off the current uptrend support.

In the event of a breakdown of the current consolidation, below the uptrend support line, key immediate support to the downside resides around the 1.8260-1.8270 zone.

9/25/2008 – EUR/USD – Price action on the EUR/USD daily chart, as shown, is currently in somewhat of a consolidation mode, seemingly undecided as to the next directional push. The parallel green lines on the chart show that price has bullishly begun to form a steep uptrend channel, having just hit the top of this channel a few days ago before retreating. Any continuation of this downward pullback should find solid support at or near the bottom of this channel, currently around the 1.4400 region. Overall, however, there is somewhat of a bullish technical bias to this key pair. Even with intermediate pullbacks and consolidation, price could eventually continue its climb towards the major resistance target around the 1.4960-1.5000 region. Not only does this resistance zone represent key prior resistance where price turned abruptly in the past, but it also represents a major 50% Fibonacci retracement level (the high-to-low retracement span being measured from the high reached on 7/15/2008 to the low hit on 9/11/2008).
