EURAUD 30min
Chart Created Using FXCM Marketscope 2.0
Notes: EURAUD has continued to hold above the 1.5298-1.5325 barrier discussed last week. The pair broke above the upper median-line parallel last night & our near-term focus remains weighted to the topside while above this threshold with a breach higher targeting 1.5565 & 1.5662. A break below keeps the short-bias in play targeting the median-line / 200-day moving average at 1.5030/40.

Gold Daily
Notes: The rally in gold is vulnerable near-term as the precious metal attempts to break above the upper median line parallel extrending off the October high. Topside breach targets the 200-day moving average at 1131 & the 61.8% retracement of the October decline at 1136. Interim support rests at 1108 backed by our bullish invalidation level at 1096.
