MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD continued to rise from 1.3215 (S1) and reached a high yesterday at 1.3322 (R1). It seems the pair will re-test a high soon. If the price will have enough momentum we can expect a rise towards 1.3322 (R1) and then a focus on 1.3367 (R2), a strong technical and psychological level. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position as we do not have a clear trend direction.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD fell yesterday and was supported close to 1.5723 (S1). It seems it will be retesting that level again. A break below that level will trap the pair in a trading range. We remain flat for today’s trading session until we see a break-out upwards or downwards. No position.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY rose yesterday and formed a top at 77.76 (R1). A break above that level will then focus attention on 78.28 (R2) a technical level for a trend reversal. If we switch our timeframe to H4 we can see the price is approaching the record high for the year of 77.28 and a break above that level, brings the possibility for a break out and trend reversal for an uptrend. We remain at no positions at the moment until we see a break out upwards or if the above scenario fails then obviously we are still trapped in a trading range. No position.
