We make a start by noting that China’s slowdown of the retail sales growth rate ends to enhance our worries for the recovery of the Chinese economy given also the intentions of the US President-elect Trump to slap additional tariffs on US imports from China. On the flip side, the tick-up of the relative stability of the industrial output growth rate tended to provide some comfort. Today we get December’s preliminary PMI figures for the Euro Zone. Should the indicators show further contraction of economic activity in the Euro Zone, we may see the release weighing on EUR. We focus on Germany’s manufacturing sector and on second note France’s services sector, while Euro Zone’s composite PMI figure is to provide a rounder view.
EUR/USD bounced on the 1.0450 (S1) support line thus remaining well between the boundaries set by the 1.0600 (R1) resistance line and the S1. Hence for the time being our sideways motion bias is maintained. The RSI neared the reading of 50, implying an easing of the market’s bearish predisposition for the pair. Yet, we would switch our sideways bias in favour of a bearish outlook in the event of a clear break below the 1.0450 (S1) level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 1.0330 (S2) support line. For a bullish outlook we would require a break above the 1.0600 (R1) level, aiming for the 1.0730 (R2) resistance base.

USD/CAD edged higher yesterday aiming for the 1.4270 (R1) resistance line. We maintain our bullish outlook for the pair as long as the upward trendline guiding the pair since the 25 of September. Furthermore the RSI indicator is at the reading of 70, implying a strong bullish sentiment for the pair yet at the same time, it may imply that the pair is at overbought levels and may be ripe for a correction lower. Also the price action is nearing the upper Bollinger band sending similar signals. Should the bulls maintain control over the pair as expected, we may see it breaking the 1.4270 (R1) resistance line, paving the way for the 1.4420 (R2) resistance level. A bearish outlook seems remote currently and for it to emerge we would require the pair to break the 1.4110 (S1) support line, break the prementioned upward trendline in a first signal that the upward movement has been interrupted and aim if not reach the 1.3960 (S2) support level.
