EURUSD
Summary
Thursday EURUSD spiked lower as it traded under the 1.3672 level being the 4th April swing low. However EURUSD was not able to sustain the move lower. Buyers did come into the market at support which had the result of EURUSD pairing most of its losses.
Market overview
The recent price action and the breach of the 1.3764 level being the swing low of the 30th April has changed the daily trend to down. However the weekly price action continues trend in an upward direction. EURUSD has now traded deep into the Fibonacci support area. Yesterday’s price action and more specifically the reject of lower prices at support opens up the possibility for a move back up to the averages.
Focus on today
This morning EURUSD has opened quietely as the price action trades within Thursday’s candle range.
I am this morning monitoring the price actions for a potential move back up to the averages.
Alternatively if EURUSD fails to sustain higher prices there is a possibility we see a retest of the 1.3672 level being the 4th April swing low.
GBPUSD
Summary
Thursday GBPUSD traded lower as the price action continued to test moving average and trend line support.
Market overview
GBPUSD continues to trade in a daily and weekly uptrend with the price action having recently broken a large converging triangle. The 8 period daily moving averages had been offering good support to this up move. However the recent price action has seen GBPUSD break under this average and now test trend line support.
From a weekly perspective the price action is now testing the 8 period weekly moving averages. As the both daily and weekly trends remain positive I am monitoring the price action at this potential value area where longs can be added.
Focus on today
This morning GBPUSD has opened quietly as the price action trades within Thursday’s candle range.
I am today monitoring the price action for a test of the 1.6700 support level.
Alternatively if GBPUSD cannot sustain lower prices could see the price action bounce higher and test the 1.6795 resistance level.
USDJPY
Summary
Thursday USDJPY traded lower as the price action closed under the 101.70 support level.
Market overview
The breach of the 102.83 level being the swing high of the 21st February has effectively changed the daily trend to up and therefore putting this time frame into gear with the bullish weekly time frame. Following the corrective pull back it would appear that USDJPY has resumed its upward trend. However a sustained move beneath the 101.32 level being the 11th April swing low would put a big question mark against the health of this uptrend.
Focus on today
This morning USDJPY has opened quietly as the price action trades within Thursday’s candle ranges.
Today I am monitoring USDJPY for a test of the 34 period daily moving averages.
Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see USDJPY trade back to the 101.32 level being the 11th April swing low.
USDCHF
Summary
Thursday USDCHF spiked higher as the price action breached the 0.8930 resistance level and moved into the Fibonacci resistance level. However the move higher was viewed as a shorting opportunity by bears and this led to a substantial sell off.
Market overview
The recent price action and the breach of the 0.8862 level being the 22nd April prior swing high has changed the daily trend to up. However the weekly price action continues trend in a downward direction. USDCHF is now moving into the direction of Fibonacci resistance. This Fibonacci zone could possibly be viewed as a value area where shorts could potentially be added.
Focus on today
This morning USDCHF has opened quietly as it trades within Thursday’s candle ranges.
Today I am monitoring the price action to see if USDCHF can potentially trade higher and test Fibonacci resistance.
Alternatively a failure to sustain higher prices could see USDCHF trade back down to the averages.

However the recent price action has seen a rejection of the 1270 support level and a move above the 1306 level being the swing high of the 28th April.
