Bears to take a break....

Thank goodness the E$ outlook is not as hazy and hazardous as the air over us (some politicians have to be more responsible).
In my update titled "Eyes on Bernanke..." (22 May 13), my target of 1.34/35 for the intermediate trend has been achieved and E$ should now be due for a correction lower whereas the greenback will take centre stage once again. In yesterday's brief update, my target of 1.3250 has also been hit and E$'s next target could be 1.3100/20.

Europe order book:
Stop loss: 1.3150 and 1.3416/17
Limit: 1.3150 and 1.3400

Primary trend: Bullish
Intermediate trend: Range between 1.2800 to 1.3400
Minor trend: Bearish

Technically, shorter intraday indicator has gone into extreme o/s level but the longer one still has abit more room for further downside. Shorter intraday momentum indicator is starting to show a slowdown in the rate of selling though the longer one is still pointing firmly lower. In view of this conflicting signal, one cannot get overly bearish when E$ nears the 1.3160/80 band (on first test) for this round. At this stage (low so far 1.3193), I would expect E$ to attempt another low before a mild rebound towards 1.3250/60. I would look to fade into the rally but that should be held back till tomorrow.
