    Holding pattern favours a resumption back into 1.3146.

    EUR/USD is continuing to trade within a short-term holding pattern, which is

    unwinding from last weeks sharp recovery (as six central banks, reduced

    their USD funding costs to ease the debt crisis). Our cycle analysis also

    suggests increased volatility within the first two weeks of December.

    The recovery is still expected to be limited into 1.3610, then 1.3730 and

    perhaps even 1.3850-90. Probability also favours a bearish reversal at these

    levels for a resumption back into 1.3146 (04th

    Oct swing low).

    A sustained close beneath 1.3146 will re-establish the larger downtrend

    from April and target 1.3000 (psychological level), then 1.2870 (2011 major

    low).

    Inversely, the USD Index is maintaining its recovery higher and still targets

    its recent 9-month highs near 80, (a move worth almost 10%).

    Speculative (net long) liquidity flows have unwound from recent spike highs

    (3 standard deviations from the yearly average). This will likely remain

    strong and help resume the USDs major bull-run from its historic oversold

    extremes (momentum, sentiment and liquidity).

    Rises to re-test the 1.5726 level.

    GBP/USD saw a minor surge higher during afternoon trade yesterday. This

    followed a failed break to the downside which met support at 1.5561. A

    break over 1.5726 has now been realised, potentially initiating a furtherextension higher, moving comfortably back into the old range that existed

    during the last calendar year. We now wait to see if an extension higher can

    be realised, as this would be suggestive of a larger recovery higher,

    thereafter.

    We remain alert to the fact that we are nearing the base of the year long

    range which, given the short-term relief seen in the Euro-Zone, may offer

    opportunities to enter long positions. This may also be advantageous if

    rising yields return to the Euro-Zone and Sterling attains a safe haven status

    once again.

    Taking this approach will need to see levels closer to 1.5400 for a well

    placed stop. The range bound trade of the last few days is best avoided.

    Weakening beneath 78.24 (DeMark Level).

    USD/JPY is weakening beneath 78.24 (DeMark Level). There is an ever

    growing probability of unfolding a third price retracement back to pre-

    intervention levels (PIR III) and potentially even a new post world war recordlow beneath 75.35 (PINL).

    Sentiment in the option markets continues to suggest that USD/JPY buying

    pressure remains overcrowded as everyone continues to try and be the first

    to call the market bottom.

    This may inspire a temporary, but dramatic, price spike through

    psychological levels at 75.00 and perhaps even sub-74.00. Such a move

    would help flush out a number of downside barriers and stop-loss orders,

    which would create healthy price vacuum for a potential major reversal.

    The medium/long-term view remains bullish, as USD/JPY verges toward a

    major long-term 40-year cycle upside reversal. Expect key cycle inflection

    points to trigger into November-December this year, offering a sustained

    move above our upside trigger level at 80.00/60, then 82.00 and 83.30.

    Sustained over 0.9331 to target 0.9776.

    USD/CHF has a short-term structure that is suggestive of a complete leg

    higher from the 0.8568 low. This now acts to emphasise the 0.9331 high as

    being pivotal to further gains. If a break above this level can be achieved,this will be suggestive of a larger swing, to potentially target 0.9776.

    However, given events elsewhere, the fall from 0.9331 to 0.9066 is likely the

    first leg lower in a larger corrective phase which may be affected by a return

    to rising yields in the core bond markets of the Euro-Zone.

    With this in mind, we note that the respite that was offered to 10 year Italian

    government bond yields following the USD based swap rate cut may be

    nearing completion. The current trading zone near 5.750% is expected to

    see strong support, with the potential of a return back towards 7.00% overcoming weeks. If upside pressure were to return to Italian and Spanish

    yields then USD/CHF will likely experience a degree of downside pressure

    too.

    Spanish and Italian government bonds have seen a reasonable sized

    pullback over the last week, currently trading at 5.405% and 5.924% versus

    6.478% and 7.355%, before the six party central bank agreement. (These

    same yields were trading at 5.187% and 5.777% respectively at the same

    time yesterday.)

    Sharp Setbacks hold steady at 1.0080.

    USD/CADs sharp setbacks are holding steady, following the recent short-

    term DeMark exhaustion sell signal and has found support at 1.0080

    A directional confirmation above 1.0658 is still needed to unlock the

    recovery into 1.0850 plus. This would extend the upside breakout from the

    rates ending triangle pattern, which was part of a major Elliott wave cycle.

    Only a sustained close beneath 1.0080 and parity unlocks bearish setbacks

    into the long-term 200-day MA at 0.9861 and 0.9726 (31st

    Aug low).

    EUR/CAD has accelerated its decline (-4% in 13 days) and is now targeting

    the base of an important multi-month distribution pattern. A break beneath

    1.3393-79 (19

    th

    Sept low/61.8% Fib), signals an important breakdown into1.3140 and would provide substantial correlation pressure onto EUR/USD.

    CHF/CAD, which serves as a proxy for risk appetite, has also weakened

    sharply beneath its 200-day MA (which had provided support for most of the

    uptrend since mid-2010). Key support now holds at 1.0893 (61.% Fib

    retrace). A break here would extend the sharp decline into 1.0332 (01st

    March low) and help confirm further unwinding of global risk appetite.

    Consolidating beneath its 200-day MA at 1.0405.

    AUD/USD is consolidating beneath its 200-day MA which is currently

    holding at 1.0404. This key level is likely to cap further potential gains.

    The bears must sustain below 1.0000 to further compound downside

    pressure on the rates multi-year uptrend and push back towards 0.9611.

    Elsewhere, the Aussie dollar remains strong against the New Zealand

    dollar. However, near-term price activity is mean reverting back into the 200-

    day MA. Expect a sharp setback to ensue over the multi-day/week horizon.

    The Aussie dollar is holding its mild recovery against the Japanese yen,

    while trading back above the neck-line of its two-year distribution pattern.

    Watch for further downside scope into support at 72.00 which would signal

    further unwinding of global risk appetite.

    Rangebound since the start of December.

    GBP/JPY has failed to gain any downside momentum, given the breakdown

    from an hourly rising wedge. This failure to gain downside momentum is

    consistent with movement in GBP/USD, which is suggestive of Sterling

    being used as a safe haven, while uncertainty remains within the Euro-

    Zone.

    As noted in prior reports, should this pair reach the 123.00 level a degree of

    resistance would be anticipated. In the meantime, we remain wary of the

    short-term range bound environment.

    If a return to and break over 122.64 can be achieved and sustained, this will

    suggest scope for a larger recovery higher back towards 127.32. This ties

    in to a medium-term expectation of a much larger corrective swing higher,

    potentially back to 163.09.

    If the recent range bound trade is resolved to the downside, then the 120.00

    level should provide a degree of support, from where a further leg higher

    would be favoured to develop.

    A failure to hold over 119.38 will warn of a return to 116.84.

    Sideways market continues for now.

    EUR/JPY is exhibiting many of the same characteristics as a host of

    currency pairs in the approach to the Christmas holidays. Most importantly

    the recent bout of intervention by various central banks warns of a period of

    coordinated intervention to maintain the stability of the Euro as a currency.

    This acts as a manipulation of the market, making technical analytics

    harder.

    We view the fall that has taken place since 111.60 as being corrective in

    nature, suggesting potential for a return to this same level. However, in the

    shorter-term timeframe a corrective phase appears to have completed at

    105.70. Thus we have a directional clash in two timeframes.

    The EUR component of this pair is clearly affected by the movement in

    EUR/USD. A break under 1.3146 in EUR/USD will end the rising phase

    seen since 2010. This would likely be associated with a fall back down to

    100.76 and potentially lower.

    Given the above clash between the structure and events in the Euro-Zone,

    we prefer to wait on the side lines.

    A sustained hold over the 200 day moving average will turn the medium-

    term outlook more bullish.

    Rangebound while above 0.8486.

    EUR/GBP continues to trade within the 0.8486 - 0.8665 range, reaching

    0.8511 yesterday. While above 0.8486 scope is seen for a rise back

    towards 0.8700 to complete a larger corrective phase from the 0.8486 level.

    In fact false breaks lower have been a hall mark of this currency pair in

    multiple timeframes, so the strategy to sell higher will be maintained.

    We continue to expect a return to rising yields within the Euro-Zone and it is

    within this environment that we see the potential for Sterling to be perceived

    as a safe haven. Core government bond yields have eased back somewhat

    after the coordinated cut in USD based swap lines amongst selected central

    banks. However, a lasting solution still appears a long way off. The fact

    that there is a high demand for US Dollars from European banks is a

    warning sign and a clear weakness suggesting scope for a credit

    contractionary phase.

    Our bias remains mildly bearish with trade continuing under both the 200

    day and 50 week moving averages. As mentioned in prior reports the

    1.3146 level in EUR/USD remains key. A push under this level will likely

    lead to weakness in all EUR crosses, as it will mark a breakdown in

    confidence in the EUR and also end the rising trend that has been

    witnessed since the 1.1876 low seen in the middle of 2010.

    Signs of supply seen close to the recent 1.2500 ceiling.

    EUR/CHF Met supply again yesterday close to the 1.2500 ceiling that has

    capped this pair for the last two months. However we will maintain our sell

    limit strategy at 1.2480 as it represents a reasonable trade location if short

    stops are targeted in thin Christmas markets. The return to the upper end of

    the recent trading range has been assisted by the six central bank dollar

    swap rate coordination.

    A rising sovereign yield environment is anticipated to return to the core of

    the Euro-Zone, which should assist the mild bearish bias, however, pushing

    back under 1.2123/31 represents the real goal of a lasting breakdown in the

    recent range bound structure.

    The chance of collusion of central banks has made the current environment

    difficult to trade from a technical perspective as free market movement is

    one of the main assumptions of this analytic technique.

    The repeated failure of this pair to break over the 50 week moving average

    over recent weeks is also an initial warning that the prior downtrend may not

    be over. The large cluster of stops that is likely to be placed around the

    1.2000 level is also anticipated to aid any short positioning, questioning the

    ability of the SNB to hold back the possible flow of funds into Swiss Francs.

    Remains negative beneath $1800.

    Short-term price activity remains negative beneath resistance at $1800,

    despite the recent push higher. Only a close above here would develop a

    more sustained recovery into $1845.

    Near-term support can be found at $1667 (21 Nov low). Moreover, there is

    still heightened risk for a much larger decline if we confirm a weekly close

    beneath $1600/04 and $1530 (200-day MA/swing low), which has not been

    breached in 3 years!

    A number of bargain hunting trend-followers will be watching this

    benchmark line in the sand for repeat support or a potential big squeeze

    lower into $1300 and perhaps even $1040 - 1000.

    Speculative (net long) flows also support this view having recently breached

    a key downside level which may threaten over 2 years of sizeable long gold

    positions. This will trigger a temporary, but dramatic setback that would

    ultimately offer a unique buying opportunity in the near future.

    Key support at $30.0000.

    Silver is holding around key support at 30.0000. Only a sustained close

    below here would trigger a test of the previous swing low at 26.0700.

    Macro price structure continues to focus on the downside risks, following the

    major sell-off in September. Such a dramatic move traditionally produces

    volatile trading ranges. This allows the market to have enough time to

    recover and accumulate renewed buying interest.

    Expect a large trading range to hold between $37.0000-26.0700 over the

    multi-week/month horizon, with downside macro risk into $21.5165 (61.8%

    Fib-1999 bull market) and $20.0000. This would still maintain silvers long-

    term uptrend and help offer a potential buying opportunity for the eventual

    resumption higher.

    Continue to watch the gold-silver mint ratio which has now accelerated

    higher by 70%, suggesting further risk aversion over the next few weeks.

    This also helps explain recent divergences between gold and silver.
