MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD rise from 1.3150 and made a sharp move upwards breaking above our yesterday’s resistance level and closing just below of our recommended target ending our day with profits (+48 pips)!! After the price formed a top at 1.3264 (R1), the price fell and now is moving above our first support level. We expect the price to move upwards and retest the March high at 1.3264 (R1). Look for long positions at 1.3264 targeting 1.3291 (R2). A stop loss should be placed at 1.3224.

After that the price found a strong resistance at 1.5913 (R1), a yearly high. We expect the price to move upwards but only a break above 1.5913 (R1) will give as a confirmation for long positions targeting 1.5967 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The USDJPY trapped in the 83.00 – 83.81 range. A break in either direction will determine the trading bias in today`s session. A break below 83.00 will confirm our short positions targeting 82.58 (S2) and a further fall will be limited to 81.94 (S3). On the other hand, if the pair breaks above the first resistance level of 83.81 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 84.18 (R2) a year high and further rise will then focus at 84.57 (R3).
