Trading strategy: small long at 1.2500, stop at 1.2430 (0.5% risk), 1st objective at 1.2550, 2nd objective at 1.2650

The euro recovered after retracing to as low as 1.2550 where it found intra-day support. The recovery was mainly driven by the risk & carry trade pairs – the AUD/JPY being the best performer so far. More upside is in the cards now as the EUR/JPY also managed to break through the 110.50/80 resistance. Today’s economic calendar is quite busy and includes important events such as the ECB Interest Rate Decision, the ECB Press Release and the US Initial Jobless Claims. Technically, no change of market sentiment is signaled on a short-term basis and potential dips towards 1.2500 should provide fresh buying opportunities – $1.3 being in focus, also according to yesterday’s poll results: 46% expecting to see $1.3 soon, while 36% are expecting the downtrend to resume. Current quote is 1.2653 @06:15 GMT

Support: 1.2600, 1.2560, 1.2500/20, 1.2465, 1.2400 and 1.2300
Resistance: 1.2700, 1.2750 and 1.2800

Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, and the second leading cause of death in women. The American Cancer Society estimates that the chance of a woman getting breast cancer at some point during her life is slightly less than 1 in 8, and the chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35. However, as a result of early detection and vast improvements in treatment over the past two decades, breast cancer death rates have been decreasing. Today in America, there are more than 2.5 million survivors.

Although each person’s treatment will be slightly different, it most often involves some combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, followed by five years of hormone therapy and drugs like tamoxifen, which counters the effects of hormones. These treatments often cause uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating side effects, including decreased sexual desire and in younger women, early menopause—hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings. Venlafaxine, an antidepressant drug also known as Effexor, has been the treatment of choice for women undergoing breast cancer treatments, but it comes with its own set of side effects: dry mouth, decreased appetite, nausea and constipation. However, researchers say there is another option for these patients; one that works as well as drugs, without the side effects—acupuncture.

Previous studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce hot flashes in healthy postmenopausal women. So, researchers decided to find out if it could also benefit premenopausal women being treated for breast cancer. “We need something that’s accessible that doesn’t add adverse effects,” said Dr. Eleanor Walker, division director of breast services in the department of radiation oncology at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. For the study, 50 women with breast cancer were randomly chosen to receive either 12 weeks of acupuncture (twice a week for four weeks then once a week) or daily Effexor. They were followed for a year.

Initially, both groups experienced a similar reduction (about 50 percent) in hot flashes, depression and other menopausal symptoms as well as improvement in mental health. But two weeks after treatment stopped, hot flashes increased in the antidepressant group but remained minimal in the acupuncture group. It wasn’t until three months after the last treatment that hot flashes began to return for those receiving acupuncture. Additionally, about 25 percent of women receiving acupuncture reported better sex drive and many reported increased energy and clearer thinking. Adverse effects, including nausea, headache, difficulty sleeping and dizziness were reported by the antidepressant users, whereas no adverse effects were reported with acupuncture. “Acupuncture offers patients a safe, effective and durable treatment option for hot flashes, something that affects the majority of breast cancer survivors,” Walker said. “Compared to drug therapy, acupuncture has benefits, as opposed to more side effects.”

Alzheimer's and cancer, two dreaded diseases, may not like to cohabitate in the same body, at least for some populations. Those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease may actually have some protection against cancer and vice versa, early research suggests.

When comparing elderly study participants that did not have Alzheimer’s disease to those with Alzheimer’s, it was found that they were much less likely to be diagnosed with cancer. AT the other end of the spectrum, elderly white patients that had cancer at the beginning of the study were much less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, however, the lower risk was not seen in the other groups.

Several previous studies showed a lower incidence of cancer in the patients that had Parkinson’s disease, which, like Alzheimer’s, is a degenerative disorder that affects the brain. Newly published research suggests a similar link between Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Catherine M. Roe, Ph.D., from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and lead researcher for the study, said, “This study adds to the literature suggesting that cancer and neurodegenerative diseases may be related.”

In an earlier study, Roe and her colleagues reported that elderly patients who suffered from Alzheimer’s developed cancer much later than patients without dementia. Also, the patients that had a history of cancer tended to be diagnosed with dementia later in life. However, it was not clear if the association was because of the confounding factors, such as the fact that patients with cancer often die before they can reach the high-risk age for Alzheimer’s disease and the patients that suffer for Alzheimer’s tend to be screened less for cancer. In the new study, Roe and her colleagues attempted to control for many of these potential factors.

The study included patients that suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, which is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain, and vascular dementia, which is caused by an impaired blood flow to the brain as a result of a stroke and other cardiovascular causes. In addition, approximately 3,000 people age 65 and older that were enrolled in a large heart health study were included in the analysis.

Euro and Pound inch higher

EUR/USD has advanced almost 50 pips on early European session breaking above Asian session's range top and reaching 1.4765 session high, although the Euro remains struggling against 1.4760 resistance area (Dec 10 high).

GBPUSD has bounced at 1.6275 at European session opening, and the Pound advanced to 1.6340 session high, with next resistance levels at 1.635 and 1.6375 on sight.

USD/JPY remains hovering right below 89.00 after Dollar rally seen in Asian session, which extended recovery from 87.35 low on Wednesday to 88.95 session high, under bullish pressure at the moment of writing.

The Euro has advanced about 40 pips on early European session breaking above Asian session flat range to reach 1.4760 resistance area (Dec 10 high), which is being tested at the moment.

According to Carol Harmer, technical analyst at Charmer Charts.com, sellers mict push the Euro lower from current levels: "1.4755/60 offers good protection for sellers, and buyers will cover any longs prior this resistance. Buyers will only come back into the market at these higher levels if it can break above 1.4785."

On the downside, key support lies at 1.4670, says Harmer: "As stated downside support exists at 1.4670. If this support breaks sellers will be on the back of this and drive buyers aside looking for further weakness with 1.4631/25 then targeted."
