MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD after retesting 1.3486 (R2) twice, it did not manage to break above it, as a result to fell yesterday and to made a bottom at 1.3312 (S1).It seems that we are in a correction phase of our uptrend. If it breaks below that level (go short) we can expect the price to retest 1.3211 (S2), a significant strong support level. On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break below 1.3312 (S1) we can expect the pair to retest 1.3424 9 (R1) and further rise will be limited to 1.3486 (R2) a technical and psychological level for the bulls. A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above 1.3366. A stop loss should be placed below 1.3312 (S1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After a successful run since the beginning of February, USDJPY formed a top at 81.66 (R1) and fell creating a strong support level at 80.00 (intraday). Yesterday the price was able to break above 80.78 (S1), retested it, and now is moving above that level. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is we open long positions only when the price breaks above 81.66 (R1). As far as the price is below that level we remain flat until we get a clearer direction of the price.
