EU Session Bullet Report – Stock selloff as borrowing costs set to rise

Global stock markets closed the day lower yesterday as anticipation over a December rate hike in the US gathers pace. The prospect of higher borrowing costs and slower economic growth led investors away from riskier assets resulting in a selloff

Currency markets traded in a range with the USD stabalizing following last weeks strong gains.
Gold remains under pressure and remains below 1100 whilst crude oil hovers around the $44 mark.
Today we have another quiet economic calendar so we can expect more range bound trading driven by technicals.

Trading quote of the day:

If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd.

Sir John Templeton

Green lines are resistance, Red lines are support.

EUR/USD
Pivot: 1.083

Alternative scenario: Above 1.083 look for further upside with 1.088 & 1.091 as targets.
Comment: As long as 1.083 is resistance, likely decline to 1.0705.

GBP/USD
Pivot: 1.515
Likely scenario: Short positions below 1.515 with targets @ 1.502 & 1.4975 in extension.

AUD/USD
Pivot: 0.709

Comment: A break below 0.702 would trigger a drop towards 0.6975.

USD/JPY
Pivot: 122.65

Alternative scenario: Below 122.65 look for further downside with 122 & 121.6 as targets.
Comment: Even though a continuation of the consolidation cannot be ruled out, its extent should be limited.

USD/CAD
Pivot: 1.3225
Likely scenario: Long positions above 1.3225 with targets @ 1.332 & 1.3355 in extension.
Alternative scenario: Below 1.3225 look for further downside with 1.318 & 1.3135 as targets.
