MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD fell below our first support and formed a bottom at 1.3280 (S1). After that the price rise and broke above the same level giving us only a small profit of pips. We expect the EURUSD to continue its move downwards and to complete the correction at the level of 1.3211 (S2). A proper confirmation for the short positions will be when the price manages to break below the first support level of 1.3280 (S1). A stop loss should be placed above 1.3333 (R1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD rise and moved closer to the first resistance level of 1.5991 (R1). A break above that level would suggest a target of 1.6029 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.6068 (R3). On the downside, if the price does manage to stay below current resistance level 1.5991 (R1) we can expect retesting of 1.5896 (S1). A further decline will then bring focus to the next support level at 1.5811 (S2) a strong technical support level. We expect the price to retest first support level and then to move downwards targeting second support level at 1.5811 (S2). Look for short positions in today trading session with a stop loss below 1.5991 (R1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY broke above our first support of 80.78 (S1) and is approaching towards 81.66 (R1) a strong technical level for the bulls. A break above that level we suggest target of 82.22 (R2). Both of our Moving Averages are pointed bullish and we expect the price to continue its upwards move targeting our support levels. A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 81.66 (S1). A stop loss should be placed below 81.15.
