(Click on image to enlarge) Technical AnalysisThe technical analysis for this is obviously horrible, but I think you’ve got a situation where you have to look at this through the prism of whether or not we are oversold at the moment. I think that’s probably the case, and therefore this bounce will make a certain amount of sense, however, I do not like the idea of “fishing for a bottom” here, despite the fact that most technical analyst would suggest this is a real possibility.This is mainly due to the fact that the market is driven by questions about the British ability to get a reasonable budget past, and of course the whole idea that the Federal Reserve is light years away from doing anything remotely close to loosening monetary policy. After all, traders had initially thought that the Federal Reserve is going to cut multiple times in 2025, but the reality is that they will not be able to, and therefore I think you’ve got to look at this as a market that is pricing that in. However, we had gotten to far to the downside and I think it’s only a matter of time before we get a bit of a bounce. That bounce should end up being thought of as a “buying opportunity for US dollars.” The 1.2350 level is an area that I would love to start shorting from, but we will have to wait and see if we can even get that far to the upside.The alternative is that we break down below the 1.21 level and then go looking to the 1.20 level after that. The 1.20 level is obviously a large, round, psychologically significant figure, and I do think it’s an area that we will eventually try to get to. That being said, over the last 4 sessions, we have dropped roughly 400 pips, and a bounce would make a certain amount of sense. Look for exhaustion to take advantage of.GBP/AUD Forecast: Continues To Drift Lower but Looks Ready to Bounce HardUSD/CHF Forecast: Climbing HigherPairs In Focus – Sunday, Jan. 12
