EURUSD: Technicals favor a correction before the next move higher
The medium-term bull move initiated this summer continues to push higher at a torrid pace. Our initial first quarter targets of 1.1935 and 1.25 are now only memories, as the price closes in on 1.2600 psychological resistance. The pace and scale of the upmove, while impressive, is now bordering on excessive as both sentiment and longer -term momentum oscillator studies reach frightening extremes. The need for a meaningful correction can not be overstated and as such, we now expect the first half of 2004 to be a bit rockier than most, as longer-term technical studies point to some sort of corrective wave during the first few months of 2004. Initial corrective targets include the former breakout level/10-day SMA at 1.1935/1.1900 followed by the former fib resistance turned support in the 1.1750 zone. We cannot rule out a deeper correction scenario to the 40-week moving average in the coming months, as corrections from such aggressive runups, can turn quite vicious; but as overall long-term demand remains firm we see no real serious threat to broader long-term uptrend.
主要货币对(EURUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, GBPUSD)2004年首季表现的展望
EURUSD: 技术上在下一波上涨前需要一个回调
欧元今年夏天开始的这波涨势以热火朝天的步调不断将EURUSD推向新高. 当欧元迫近1.2600的心理阻力,我们在今年第一季度预测的目标, 1.1935和1.25已成记忆. 此次欧元上行无论在上涨的步调和达到的高度上都令人瞩目, 可是当市场情绪和对长期上涨动力的分析都达到可怕的极端时, 上涨正接近顶部. 需要一个相当幅度的回调是合情合理的. 我们预期2004年上半年市场的动荡将比以往任何时候要强. 长期技术分析显示2004年头几个月会有某种回调波发生. 最初的回调目标是前期突破的阻力/10天均线(SMA是移动平均线?), 在1.1935/1.1900, 接着是前阻力转化为支撑的1.1750区域. 我们也不排除在接下来的几个月里发生深度回调至40周均线的可能. 从如此过度上涨启动的回调有可能达到很大的幅度. 但是总体上,只要对欧元的长期需求持稳, 欧元长期上涨趋势不变. |  |  |  |  |
