MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After EURUSD formed a bottom at 1.26666 (S2) a strong support for the bulls, it seems that now is heading for an upward correction towards our second resistance 1.2897 (R2). A proper confirmation of this scenario will take place if the price manages to break above 1.2814 (R1). On the downside, if price falls back below 1.2719 (S1), we can expect the price to retest 1.2666 (S2) at a strong psychological level. A break below that level, then we will start focusing at the next support level 1.2597 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The GBPUSD moved upwards and closed above yesterday’s resistance 1.5469 and now is moving towards 1.5525 (R1). A break above that level suggests further rise towards 1.5579 (R2) and then 1.5630 (R3). In the other hand, if the price manages to hold below the first resistance level 1.5525 (R1) we can expect retest of 1.5422 (S1) and a break below that level, expecting the price to retest 1.5395 (S2) and 1.5364 (S3) which is a strong technical and psychological support for the bulls.

A break above 76.95 could trigger further bullish moves towards 77.33 (R2). On the downside, if price breaks below 76.60 (S1), will confirm our short positions targeting 76.04 (S2). A stop loss should be placed above 76.95 (R1).
