Wall Street shares traded with a negative bias as they reviewed Chinese international trade data that implied that the Chinese economy is slowing. Energy prices fell, with WTI crude for delivery in August closing just under USD 84 per barrel and the August natural gas was trading at USD 2.73. CAD while USDCAD closed above 1.02 while EURUSD also sold off, closing at 1.2250. Equities were lower, with the S&P 500 down by 0.75% after being down as much as 1.2%.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Technicals remain bearish with RSI at 32 indicates that decline has not yet reached oversold levels. The EUR continues to consolidated just above the recent lows and it seems it is preparing for the next leg lower and should bring us close to 1.2145. That bearish outlook is valid as long as the prices stay below the important 1.2345 Fibonacci level. Supports are seen at 1.2230, 1.2190 and then at 1.2151. Whereas resistance levels are seen at 1.2365, 1.2401 and then at the 10-DMA line at 1.2456.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Technicals are reading bearish as the uptrend appears to have stalled, look to support at 200 day MA 78.99. At present the pressure is on the downside though and there is a greater risk for a downside break. But until such a break is seen, it is more reasonable to assume that the current consolidation will remain intact. Although some kind of a recovery can be expected in the short term. Supports are seen at 79.22 and then at 78.97. Whereas, resistance levels are seen at 79.62 and then at 79.78.
