Recap

AUD/USD setup posted last week got completed last week @0.9386 and stopped me out for about -35 pips net, having said that traders with wider stops may be still in position to take advantage from this setup, as the price action stalled @0.9440's level before diving south at least temporarily. This week has at least one so called "premium risk event", as FOMC meeting on Wednesday is likely to create more significant moves across the board of major assets. British currency GBP seem to be strongest one across the board for coming months as last weeks fundamental GDP and employment data was inline with projections of BOE raising interest rates rates this year, so watch this space.

The more the story unwinds around single EUR currency, the more conviction across the board is that it is not meant to be weak at all, so fundamentally downside seem to be limited, however technically the market is in downtrend on longer time-frames. The BAT pattern that got completed last week @1.3535's is pretty much at the same level as it stands now. There is about 90 pips of risk to be taken on-board in order to be protected from directionless volatility blips that can squeeze position out. To sum up it is counter-trend BUY, see the chart below. 

 CAC40

Fundamentally long position on this instrument seem to be out of line with mainstream bias of upcoming correction, however technically we have bullish Cypher pattern on 4 hour chart in sideways consolidation. There is at least 50 pips of risk to be taken on-board with this BUY signal.
