MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD fell and formed a bottom at 1.2666 (S1) and now it seems that is heading towards 1.2763 (R1). A break above that level, we can expect a correction upwards towards 1.2814 (R2). We can see clearly that the pair is in a downtrend move but a correction upwards is expected leading to a further decline. Try to sell near resistance 1.2763 (R1) with a stop loss above 1.2814 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD fell sharply yesterday and continued in decline from 1.5526 (R2). If GBPUSD break above that level, we can expect re-testing resistance at 1.5526 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5579 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5395 (S1) will confirm our short positions towards 1.5364 (S2) and then 1.5312 (S3). A stop loss should be placed above 1.5433.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY lost momentum yesterday and made a bottom at 76.85 (S1) after forming a top at 77.33 (R1). A break below our support level at 76.85 (S1), will give us a proper confirmation for short positions, as we expect the pair to continue its downwards pressure. A stop loss should be placed above 77.33 (S1).
