BERMUDA TRIANGLE
EUR/USDs weak recovery is warning of further downside risk. Expect the bearish impulsive to move extend from key overhead resistance (primarily a 2 year trend and its long-term 200-day average).

Bearish sentiment also remains anchored by heightened contagion fears driven from the greater European sovereign debt risk. A sustained close beneath 1.3146 (Oct swing low) will re-establish the larger

UPTREND (2 YEARS)
and AUD/USD, which both continue to exhibit downside presssure. Inversely, the USD Index is maintaining its recovery higher and is fast
approaching the recent 9-month highs near 80, (a move worth almost 10%). Speculative (net long) liquidity flows have unwound from recent spike highs (3 standard deviations from the yearly average). This will likely remain strong and help resume the USDs major bull-run from its historic oversold extremes (momentum, sentiment and liquidity).

Elsewhere, the Aussie dollar remains strong against the New Zealand dollar. However, near-term price activity is mean reverting back into the 200day MA. Expect a sharp setback to ensue over the multi-day horizon. The Aussie dollar has triggered a mild recovery against the Japanese yen and is now trading back above the neck-line of its two-year distribution pattern. Watch for further downside scope into support at 72.00 which would signal further unwinding of risk appetite.

EUR/JPY
Further leg higher anticipated.
EUR/JPY appears to have completed an initial corrective phase higher, with scope now for a further swing to the upside. We view the fall that has taken place since 111.60 as being corrective in nature, suggesting potential for a further leg higher. The break out of the hourly falling channel that has taken place during recent sessions is now suggestive of a larger corrective phase higher. However, the EUR component of this pair is highly affected by the movement in EUR/USD. As the yields in Spanish and Italian government bonds continue to rise, this puts more downside pressure on the EUR. A break under 1.3146 in EUR/USD will end the rising phase seen since 2010. This would likely be associated with a fall back down to 100.76 and EUR/JPY daily chart, Bloomberg Finance LP potentially lower. Given the above clash between the structure and the deterioration in the Euro-Zone, we prefer to wait on the sidelines. A sustained hold over the 200 day moving average will turn the mediumterm outlook more bullish.

BREAKOUT 200-DMA NOT BROKEN IN 3 YEARS!
A number of bargain hunting trend-followers will be watching this benchmark line in the sand for repeat support or a potential big squeeze lower into $1300 and perhaps even $1040-1000. Speculative (net long) flows also support this view having recently breached a key downside level which may threaten over 2 years of sizeable long gold positions. This will trigger a temporary, but dramatic setback that would ultimately offer a unique buying opportunity in the near future.
