    USD/NOK Medium-term structure warns of an extension higher.

    USD/NOK based at 5.2174 at the beginning of May after a minor break

    below the support of a falling channel. This was followed by a substantial

    recovery which broke above the resistance of the same channel confirming

    the break down to 5.2174 as a false break lower.

    A period of consolidation then followed in a tight 5.3144-5.6318 band

    which resulted in a deep retrace of the initial recovery. September then

    saw a substantial swing higher amid US Dollar safe haven buying and the

    associated weakness in oil saw a sustained break over the 200 day moving

    average.

    After peaking at 5.9738 a period of consolidation/retrace appears to be

    developing. Assuming global growth continues to moderate and the price

    of oil remains weak, we see scope for an eventual continuation of US Dollar

    strength to target 6.2370 and then 6.7281. Thus, while above 5.6318 and

    the 200 day moving average (currently at 5.5616), scope is seen for the

    creation of a higher low for an initial re-test of 5.9738.

    The ideal location for long positioning lies near the key low at 5.6926,

    where a higher low would be favoured to form. The clear risks to this

    strategy are a stabilisation in the Eurozone credit crisis, which would likelylead to a weakening of the US Dollar and an associated strengthening of

    oil prices. In the mean time long positioning is favoured with stops

    suggested under 5.5447 and scope for an eventual return to

    6.2370/6.7281.
