MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD formed a high at 1.3377 (R1) taking away positive our 3 targets (1.3291, 1.3322 and 1.3375) that were recommended in yesterday’s analysis gaining a total of 117 pips!! EURUSD is in a strong uptrend momentum. A break above 1.3377 will continue its upward move targeting next resistance level at 1.3425 (R1). A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 1.3377(R2). A stop loss should be placed below 1.3293 (S1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY after a successful run since beginning of February USDJPY is moving in a consolidation mode between the levels of 79.88 (S1) and 80.46 (R1). A break above upper level we will be suggesting target at 80.84 (R2) and of course continuation of the uptrend. In the other hand a break below 79.88 (S1) we can expect the price to retest support at 79.35 (S2). As far as the price is moving between 79.88 (S1) and 80.46 (R1) we remain flat.
