MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: All supports and resistances remains the same today. Mark at 1.3273 (R1) acts as next resistive barrier on the way if the pair keeps it upside potential. Break here is required to achieve higher targets at 1.3288 (R2) and 1.3304 (R3) later on today. Downwards scenario: On the other side, depreciation below the support at 1.3247 (S1) might shift short-term tendency to the bearish side and validate our intraday targets at 1.3232 (S2) and 1.3217(S3).
Resistance Levels: 1.3273, 1.3288, 1.3304

TRADERS SENTIMENT : Bearish
IMPLIED VOLATILITY : High
Upwards scenario: Instrument gained momentum on the downside recently, turning short-term bias to the negative side.

Downwards scenario: On the other side, depreciation below the support barrier at 1.5215 (S1) might provide sufficient space for the recovery action. In such case we would suggest next intraday targets at 1.5205 (S2) and then 1.5186 (S3).
