Personal opinions today:

 

The British Prime Minister will submit a draft of the Brexit to the Congress on January 29. It is expected that the new draft will be partially revised and it is expected that Congress will accept it. The pound rose against the dollar and was tested at 1.29. In theory, if the new draft passes the opportunity, the pound against the dollar will likely test more than 1.30. If the European Parliament accepts the draft and leaves the EU as scheduled, it is estimated that the exchange rate of the British pound will rise even higher. And in this case, it is expected to boost the European currency because reduced the risk of Brexit, the gold will have a chance to fall and the stock market will rise.

 

In the short-term, the market is concerned about the European Central Bank's interest rate meeting on Thursday, on the future monetary policy orientation. At that time, the speech of the ECB president will become the focus of the market, and the fluctuation of the euro will arise. In addition, the main data today include: UK job data, Germany and the Eurozone economic sentiment index, Canadian wholesale inventories, manufacturing new orders and US existing home sales. As always, UK job data and US existing home sales are more noticeable.

 

Due to the US holiday relationship yesterday, the US crude oil inventory report will be released on this Thursday, not tomorrow!

 

Today's suggestion:

 

EURUSD 

1.1390/1.1405 resistance

1.1350/1.1335 support

During the US holiday yesterday, the euro steady. Today's European economic data is more concerned by the market. Looking back at the recent weak performance of the Eurozone economic data, the euro has accumulated a decline against the US dollar. And on Thursday, the European Central Bank announced interest rate monetary policy, the market is concerned about whether the European Central Bank is more biased towards doves, so that the euro continues to fall against the dollar. At present, the trend of the euro remains on the sidelines, and the exchange rate is expected to remain within the 1.13 level. However, if the exchange rate of the pound rises significantly, the euro will likely test the level of 1.14, please pay attention to trading risks.

Technically, the important resistance of the pound remained at 1.30 and the important support at 1.2805. If the short-term break through 1.28 support, the next look may be 1.26. In addition, if the issue of Brexit remains unfinished, it is probably more difficult for the pound to break through the 1.30 too much.

0.9945/0.9920 support

Yesterday, China announced its fourth quarter GDP data. Before the data was released, the Australian dollar fell and fell to around 0.7145. At present, China's data is still in line with market expectations and determines the market sentiment. However, the technical analysis remains unchanged. If the Australian dollar remains above 0.7145, the Australian dollar can still perform well, but if it falls below 0.7145, it must pay attention to further adjustments to the important support such as 0.7115 and 0.7080.

0.6765/0.6785 resistance

0.6705/0.6675 support

Technically expected 0.8850 resistance, if it can break through, look up 0.8880 and possibly extend to 8925. If the support level breaks 0.8795, it will probably test 0.8735.
