EURCHF: gently does it Posted: 09 Apr 2013 02:09 AM PDT I posted my thoughts on this pair on Friday and we’ve since been down to 1.2129. This morning though we’ve seen a gentle rise back up toward 1.2200 and this pair remains a buy-the-dip play. Probably helping EURUSD finding a bit of support too.

Cable in for decent test around 1.5300 Posted: 09 Apr 2013 01:51 AM PDT Given yesterday’s substantial fall and this morning’s holding of the 1.5250 area where I reported good-size bids on the order board we should have a decent battle at these levels More sell orders at 1.5320 and 1.5350. Buyers now lining up at pre-data levels around 1.5280-85 and still at 1.5250. Regular readers will know I continue to back the sellers but I don’t rule out a small rally from here.
