Euro “EC” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

Monday's open gapped down to new lows that refused to give up further ground. Instead the balance of the session firmed. The firming stopped short of recovering above prior lows, so the "ineffectual optimism" isn't likely to produce a sustainable recovery without at least retesting Monday's low.

Resistance: 1.3520 and 1.3570

Support: 1.3455 and 1.3395

British Pound “BP” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

Monday's open gapped down to new lows that refused to give up further ground. Instead the balance of the session firmed. The firming peaked upon testing prior lows as resistance, so the "ineffectual optimism" isn't likely to produce a sustainable recovery without at least retesting Monday's low.

Resistance: 1.9775 and 1.9800

Support: 1.9675 and 1.9605

Swiss Franc “SF” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

Monday's open gapped down to new lows that refused to give up further ground. Instead the balance of the session firmed. The firming never threatened to recover above prior lows - let alone touch them - so the "ineffectual optimism" isn't likely to produce a sustainable recovery without at least retesting Monday's low.

Resistance: .8165 and .8200

Support: .8135 and .8100

Japanese Yen “JY” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

Having filled the gap back to Thursday's close the decline was free to resume. Monday's open gapped down under prior lows and edged lower into the noon hour. The added loss wasn't substantial, and it was recovered entirely into the close. The pattern's ultimate target at .8145 is nearing, but a gap up Tuesday would be credible for extending higher intraday.

Resistance: .8315 and .8355

Support: .8240 and .8195

Australian Dollar “AD” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

A break to new lows remained likely despite Friday's second consecutive recovery of an opening drop. Monday's open gapped down sharply to new lows, but repeated the prior two sessions' pattern of bouncing into the afternoon. Thursday and Friday's bounces had failed to recover above prior highs, and that kept alive the decline's momentum. Monday's bounce did recover above prior lows - and above Apr 4's Island, so a corrective bounce wouldn't be surprising. Any early loss that doesn't fall under the .8180 area would be likely to bounce intraday.

Resistance: .8235 and .8280

Support: .8180 and .8145

Canadian Dollar “CD” (Jun)

Coverage for May 22

The rally couldn't afford to hesitate without letting sellers gain traction, so Monday's open gapped up above Friday's prior high and extended higher. MACD & RSI finally began diverging negatively again, but a top at this stage of the pattern shouldn't start slowly, and would more likely retrace both Monday and Friday's gains back to the .9110 area.

Resistance: .9250 and .9295

Support: .9185 and .9125
