MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The EURUSD formed a top on yesterday’s session at 1.3269 (R1) and then fell forming a new low at 1.3208. Now it seems it is moving away from this level to retest the resistance levels. A break above 1.3269 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.3313 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.3367 (R3). On the downside, if the price breaks below the first support level of 1.3208 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.3156 (S2). A further decline will then bring focus to the next support level at 1.3104(S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
After a successful run since the beginning of April, GBPUSD formed a top in yesterday’s trading session at 1.6301 (R1) and fell creating a support level near 1.6200. Yesterday the price was able to break above the same level (S1), and now is moving downwards for a correction. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is look for long position between 1.6200 and 1.6134 level. A stop loss should be placed at 1.6078 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY fell and penetrated successfully our support levels forming a new low at 79.70. A break below that level would suggest target at 78.57 (S2). Look for short positions targeting second support as both of our Moving Averages turned bearish. A stop loss should be placed at 80.21 (R1).
