MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD formed a low at 1.3182 profiting on all our targets recommended in Friday’s analysis gaining a total of 69 pips!! A break below that level will be suggesting target at 1.3150 (S2) a technical level as we are still in a correction phase of our uptrend (daily). On the other hand if price manage to stay above 1.3182 we will then expect the price to retest 1.3280 (R1) and then further rise will then approach towards 1.3366 (R2). Our recommendation for today trading session is no position. I believe the pair it will continue its downward move and it will find a strong support at 1.3150 (S1). A level that it is very significant as it will determine if we are still in an uptrend (daily) or if we are heading to a trend reversal.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The USDJPY rise on Friday and closed above Friday’s resistance giving us a small profit of 20 pips. After that the price fell sharply and formed a bottom around 81.15. We expect the price to continue its upward move as it is under bullish pressure (daily), but before that we can expect for a retest and correction downwards towards 81.00 (S1) and then to continue upwards. Look for long positions at 81.00 (S1) with a stop loss at 80.40 (S2) targeting 81.87 (R1) a strong technical level for the bulls.
