Resistance Levels: 1.2944 | 1.2820 | 1.2812 | 1.2727
Support Levels: 1.2621 | 1.2592 | 1.2560 | 1.2513

Intraday Analysis: EURUSD fell and formed a bottom at 1.2621 (S1) and now it seems that it is heading towards 1.2592 (S1) a Fibonacci retracement level - 76.40%. A break below that level, we can expect the price to retest 1.2560 (S3). We can see clearly that the pair is in a downtrend move and both of our Moving Averages are above the price (bearish signal), but a correction upwards is expected leading to a further decline.



GBPUSD 1.53146 / 1.53160
High: 1.53269 | Low: 1.53160 | Chg: 0.0003 0.02%

Resistance Levels: 1.5629 | 1.5579 | 1.5487 | 1.5400
Support Levels: 1.5275 | 1.5233 | 1.5203 | 1.5164

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD fell sharply yesterday and continued to decline from 1.5400 (R1) to 1.5233 (S2). If GBPUSD breaks above 1.5400 (R1), we can expect re-testing resistance at 1.5487 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5579 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5275 (S1) will retest 1.5233 (S2) and 1.5203 (S3). Since the pair is moving above 1.5233 a strong support level (daily) in technical and psychological way for the bullish, we look for long positions with a stop loss below 1.5233 (S2).


USDJPY 76.831/ 76.837
High: 77.831 | Low: 76.81 | Chg: -0.116 -0.15%

Resistance Levels: 78.03 | 77.56 | 77.33 | 77.05
Support Levels: 76.60 | 76.03 | 75.54 | 75.13

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY lost momentum yesterday and made a bottom at 76.66 after forming a top at 77.05 (R1). A break below our support level at 76.60 (S1), will give us a proper confirmation for short positions, as we expect the pair to continue its downwards pressure. A stop loss should be placed above 77.05 (S1).
