Resistance Levels: 1.3319 | 1.3287 | 1.3268 | 1.3204
Support Levels: 1.3050 | 1.2952 | 1.2877 | 1.2813

Intraday Analysis: After the pair formed a bottom at 1.2930 –Fibonacci 23.6%, the EURUSD was able to break above yesterday’s resistance at 1.3050 (S1) and we now expect the price to find a strong resistance around 1.3150 – September low. A break above the 1.3150 level would suggest a target of 1.3204 (R1). On the other hand if the price fails to break above 1.3150, we can expect the pair to retest 1.3050 (S1). If we consider that the price is forming a top at the current level or the top is around 1.3150 then we should expect a correction downwards and then the continuation of the uptrend.



GBPUSD 1.56637 / 1.56646
High: 1.56755 | Low: 1.56481 | Chg: 0.0007 0.05%
SUMMARY: Up
INTRADAY TREND: Uptrend
MA10: Bullish
MA20: Bullish
STOCHASTIC: Neutral

Resistance Levels: 1.5881 | 1.5775 | 1.5715 | 1.5680
Support Levels: 1.5627 | 1.5552 | 1.5515 | 1.5449

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD is forming higher bottoms and is now moving towards 1.5680 (R1) to retest that level again, as it is considered a technical and psychological resistance level for the bears. A break above that level will concentrate our focus at 1.5715 (R2). On the downside, if the price declines below 1.5627 (S1) we can expect the price to retest 1.5552 (S2) and then to bounce upwards for a continuation of the uptrend (intraday).


USDJPY 77.532 / 77.537
High: 77.807 | Low: 77.522 | Chg: -0.246 -0.32%
SUMMARY: Down
INTRADAY TREND: Downtrend
MA10: Bearish
MA20: Bearish
STOCHASTIC: Neutral

Resistance Levels: 79.86 | 79.21 | 78.75 | 78.28
Support Levels: 77.34 | 76.54 | 75.98 | 75.58

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY made a sharp move upwards and formed a top at 78.28 (R1) and then fell and was supported at 77.53. It now seems that it is going to retest our first support level at 77.34 (S1). If it breaks below that level, we can expect the price to retest our second support at 76.54 (S2). As we mentioned in yesterday’s analysis, a break above 77.28 (R1) brings the possibility of a trend reversal into play. As long as the pair remains below that level, the price remains trapped in a trading range on the daily timeframe and a downtrend on the weekly.
