MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD made a sharp move downwards and formed a bottom at 1.3050 (S1) a strong technical support level. It now seems that it is going to retest 1.3050 (S1). A break below that level will be suggesting target at 1.2988 (S2) as we are in a correction phase of our uptrend. On the other hand if the price manages to break above 1.3090 (R1) we will then expect the price to retest 1.3161 (R2) and then further rise will then approach towards 1.3233 (R3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD has successfully broke above yesterday resistance 1.5726 and formed a top at 1.5796 (R1) and now it seems that it is heading towards 1.5656 (S2) for a correction. Fail to break below first support level then we will expect the price to retest 1.5796 (R1) and then further rise will limit to 1.5860 (S2). Our recommendations for today’s session is short positions targeting 1.5656 (S2) with a stop loss above 1.5796 (R1).
