MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD formed a high at 1.3382 (R1) as we previously mentioned in yesterday’s analysis as it has reached a very crucial level that has been retest 3 times in the past. A break above that level, it will indicate an upward break out from the trading range of the intraday chart. This is very important as it will determine our bias towards the next trading sessions. Overall, a break above that level we will look to confirm an uptrend as the outlook continues to be positive for the EURUSD. A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 1.3382 (R1) targeting 1.3451 (R2). A stop loss should be placed above 1.3277 (S1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The GBPUSD rise and broke above our yesterday’s resistance level forming a new high at 1.6063 (R1) and it seems that it will continue its upward movement. The pair is in a crucial moment as a break above first resistance would suggest target at 1.6143 (R3). On the other hand if the price fails to break above 1.6063 (R1), we can expect the pair to retest 1.6000 (S1) level. A break below that level would suggest a target at 1.5943 (S2) and further fall with then be limited at 1.5888 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
After the pair formed a high at 83.31 (R2), the USDJPY was able to break below yesterday’s support and formed a new low at 81.54 (S1). A break below the 81.54 level would suggest a target of 80.67. On the other hand if the price fails to break below 81.54, we can expect the pair to retest 82.54 (R1) and a break above that level would suggest target at 83.31 yesterday’s first resistance level.
