    EUR/USD breaks 1.3000 (Psychological level). Second objective met, while still maintaining a risk-free trade.

    EUR/USD bears have continued to push lower and have now broken

    beneath that all-important psychological level at 1.3000.

    Our cycle analysis has successfully signalled increased volatility within the

    first two weeks of December across risk proxies , including the equity and

    commodity markets.

    The recent close beneath 1.3146 re-establishes the larger downtrend from

    April. Watch for a sustained close beneath 1.3000 (psychological level) to

    target 1.2870 (2011 major low).

    Meanwhile, resistance can be found at 1.3550 (02 Dec high), then 1.3610

    and 1.3730. Any rebound into these levels is likely to be short-lived. Inversely, the USD Index has extended its recovery higher to new 11-month

    highs, (a move worth over 10% f rom the summer 2010 lows).

    Speculative (net long) liquidity flows is strengthening once again and will

    continue to help resume the USDs major bull-run from its historic oversold

    extremes (momentum, sentiment and liquidity).

    Break over trend-line off 1.5770 sought before attempting longs.

    GBP/USD has managed to break out of its prior sequence of lower lows and

    higher highs, forming an hourly falling channel. This may mark the final

    phase of short-term weakness from the 1.5780 lower high. However, abreak over the hourly channel resistance is sought before attempting longs.

    Demand for sterling is likely to be affected by the movement in selected core

    Euro-Zone sovereign markets. In particular we note that Italian 10 year

    yields are trading close to 7.00%. Daily structure is also suggestive of a

    return to test 7.00% and higher. A continuation of higher yields may see

    Sterling being adopted as a safe haven again. This reasoning would likely

    help to keep cable within its year long range.

    Failure to remain above 1.5423 will see an immediate target at 1.5272 andthen potentially trend-line support at 1.5110.

    Weakening beneath 78.24 (DeMark Level) .

    USD/JPY is still weak 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 December this year, offering a sustained move above

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

    Encounters resistance close to our first target at 0.9555.

    Long strategy to buy at 0.9410 removed. Look to sell higher.

    USD/CHF has met resistance close to our initial target in our long strategy

    to buy at 0.9410. We are thus removing this strategy as this may completethe rise from 0.9176. We view the push under 0.9430 as potentially

    breaking down the short-term bullish structure. However, while above

    0.9342, there remains scope for a further rise back towards 0.9548 initially.

    Given that the region of the initial target has been tested and with yields

    continuing to rise in some core Euro-Zone sovereign markets, the trade

    location is deemed as poor. It is anticipated that a return to 7.000% in

    Italian 10 year yields is imminent. This may once again pressure USD/CHF

    to the downside. There is thus potentially a greater opportunity to sell athigher levels.

    Referencing Spanish and Italian government bonds back to their respective

    levels prior to the six party central bank agreement, we note that most of the

    positive after effects have worn off, with yields trading at 5.698% and

    6.824% versus 6.478% and 7.355%, before the agreement. (These yields

    were trading at 5.699% and 6.685% respectively at the same time

    yesterday.)

    Bulls extend rebound above 1.0200.

    USD/CAD is maintaining its sharp bullish rebound above 1.0200. We are

    watching for further sustained price activity to open a buy trade setup.

    A directional confirmation above 1.0680 is still needed to unlock the

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

    rates ending triangle pattern, whi ch 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 0.9870 and 0.9726 (31 st Aug low).

    EUR/CAD is unwinding mildly ahead of 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 into 1.3140 and would providesubstantial correlation pressure onto EUR/USD.

    CHF/CAD , which serves as a proxy for risk appetite, remains weak

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

    since mid-2010). Key support now holds at 1.0893 (61.8% Fib retrace). A

    break here would extend the sharp decline into 1.0332 (01 st March low) and

    help confirm further unwinding of global risk appetite.

    Sharp setbacks have broken through parity.

    First objective met, while maintaining a risk-free trade.

    AUD/USD has resumed its sharp setbacks beneath its 200-day MA which is

    currently holding at 1.0412. This key level is likely to encourage further

    downside scope over the multi-day-week horizon. 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 pairing back its mild recovery against the Japanese yen,

    while holding 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.

    Channels lower in a possible corrective structure.

    GBP/JPY has been largely contained within a falling hourly channel for the

    majority of December. This structure is seen as being part of a corrective

    phase with an eventual return to strength anticipated, potentially close to the

    120.00 region.

    However, the recovery seen from the 116.84 low appears corrective in

    nature, suggesting scope for a return to 119.38 and then potentially 116.84.

    A minor break has taken place under the support of the hourly channel,

    reaching 120.30. This may now mark a short-term higher low for a fresh

    swing to the upside targeting both 122.64 and 122.23, before a potential

    lower high in the medium-term timeframe may develop. This would then

    return focus back to the structure mentioned in the second bullet point.

    Support anticipated close to 100.76.

    EUR/JPY saw an extension lower in recent trade following the break under

    1.3146 in EUR/USD, particularly in light of the recent static nature of

    USD/JPY.

    We now anticipate a degree of support close to the 100.76 level, from where

    a recovery may take place

    As mentioned in prior reports, the medium-term recovery that we have

    already witnessed from 100.76 to 111.60 is viewed as the initial leg higher in

    a larger recovery structure.

    Even if a lower low were to be printed in the medium-term timeframe, an

    initial recovery from the 100.76 region is anticipated. With this in mind we

    look to attempt longs just ahead of the key 100.76 level.

    Sustained under this level will warn of a much larger continuation to the

    downside.

    Retrace back towards old trend-line support sought.

    EUR/GBP continues to witness short-term weakness. Although a move to

    test daily falling channel support near 0.8330 may develop, we prefer to wait

    for higher levels to sell. We await a re-test of the old trend-line support as

    resistance ahead of possible short positioning.

    Also noted is that 1.3146 has now been broken in EUR/USD, weakening the

    longer-term outlook there. This may assist a short EUR/GBP bias going

    forward.

    An initial target for the current downswing in the daily timeframe is on the

    support of the previously mentioned falling channel, currently at 0.8330.

    As mentioned in prior reports, the recent six party central bank coordination

    is in fact a warning sign and a clear weakness, suggesting scope for a creditcontractionary phase. We continue to expect a continuation of rising yields

    in the Euro-Zone and it is within this environment that we see the potential

    DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT 15 December, 2011

    www.migbank.com

    Messy sideways trade continues.

    EUR/CHF is currently witnessing a flurry of price activity and is approaching

    our filter level at 1.2226 (see below). It thus appears that the possibility of a

    break over the recent high at 1.2474 is receding. However, we will maintain

    our sell limit strategy at 1.2480 for now, as this represents a decent trade

    location during thin Christmas markets. However, we look to see if a break

    under 1.2226 can be achieved.

    1.2226 will be used as a filter. Under 1.2226, we will swap our current sell

    limit strategy to a sell stop strategy at 1.2130, with objectives at

    1.2030/1.1526/1.1002 and a stop at 1.2230.

    We reference the Italian 10 year sovereign yield on a daily basis in our

    USD/CHF commentary. A return to 7.000% and higher is building a recipe

    for disaster and, should it take place, may well instigate a period in which

    the Swiss Franc is sought as a safe haven irrespective of little to no yield

    pick-up. A parallel can be made with the negative yield that was available

    on short dated US paper during the last crisis. Sometimes return of capital

    is more important then return on capital.

    The 1.2000 level is the only level that the SNB has suggested they will

    defend. There is thus likely to be a large cluster of stops under this level,

    which if triggered, could herald a return towards the 1.0075 level.

    DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT 15 December, 2011

    Gold breaks its 200-day average for first time in 3 years!

    First objective met, while still maintaining a risk-free trade.

    Golds has broken through its 200-day average for the first time in 3 years,

    after extending its slide from a multi-month triangle pattern breakout.

    Downside pressure is also accelerating from inter-market weakness across

    related risk proxies such as EUR/USD and equity markets.

    Moreover, there is still heightened risk for a much larger decline if we

    confirm a weekly close beneath $1600 and $1530 (swing low).

    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 (12-year channel floor).

    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 into summer 2012.

    DAILY TECHNICAL REPORT 15 December, 2011

    Key support broken at $30.0000.

    First objective met, while still maintaining a risk-free trade.

    Silver has broken through its 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.
