Forex Market Commentary for May 7, 2008 by Cornelius Luca

GFT Daily Market Commentary The dollar encountered very choppy reading on Tuesday, when it melted versus the commodity currencies, but closed little changed against the majors. The US currency should attempt to advance today.    Euro/dollar Euro/dollar gave back its early gains to close virtually flat on Tuesday. Thus, my model remains short. The break above 1.5520 amplified the recovery only on in intraday basis.      Above 1.5565 resistance is now seen at 1.5600. The euro/dollar has additional resistance at 1.5685.  Immediate support is now seen at 1.5515. Below 1.5410, euro/dollar retains support at 1.5360 from a pivot low.  Distant support is pegged at 1.5220.   Oscillators are mixed. NEAR-TERM: Mixed with downside risk  MEDIUM-TERM: Slightly bearish  LONG-TERM: BullishDollar/yen Dollar/yen recouped intraday losses accelerated by the break below the 104.50 pivot after failing to dislodge the trendline at 104.03.  My model is still long after the semi dark cloud cover failed to work more than on an intraday basis. The immediate risk is on the upside.   Immediate resistance is at 105.20. Strong resistance follows at 105.60 from a 50-point pivot that targets 105.10 and 106.10. The next level is at 107.45. Above the 106.75 50-point pivot, which targets 106.25 and 107.25, distant resistance is at 107.95 from another 50-point pivot, which targets 107.45 and 108.45.Initial support is at 104.50 from a 50-point pivot, which targets 104.00 and 105.00. Strong support follows at 103.40 from a 50-point pivot, which targets 102.90 and 103.90.  Oscillators are mixed. NEAR-TERM: Mixed to slightly bullish MEDIUM-TERM: Bullish LONG-TERM: BearishSterling/dollar Sterling/dollar recovered early losses and closed virtually unchanged on Tuesday as well.
