MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The euro is weak, having lost close to 0.2% against the USD, but still trading within Wednesdays range. The inability to break below 1.2955 was reassuring for EUR bulls in an environment where most drivers are turning rapidly bearish. Having broken the 1.2955 in yesterday, we will see the bears continue to gain strength. The markets are taking a breather this morning as the euro has recovered to 1.2951 after opening at 1.2927 It seems to be moving down again now and if there is a break below 1.2922 that could lead to an acceleration of the move lower, with support at 1.2818 targeted from both a monthly and a weekly pivot. A recovery on the other hand would most likely see the exchange rate struggle higher to fill the gap at 1.3080.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The 1.6142 line is now fluid, after providing support for the past two weeks. This is followed by the psychologically important support level of 1.60, which could be tested if the dollar continues to rally. Next, 1.5930, which saw a lot of movement by the pair in April, has been providing strong support for the pair. Below, there is support at 1.5805, which also was tested in April. The next support level is 1.5750, which has provided support since mid-March. The final line for now is 1.5648, which was last tested in March. Overall technicals are mixed ‐ indicators that remain bullish are waning, though near term support is found at the 21 day MA-1.6098. Resistance remains at the 9 day MA -1.6189

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Technical are showing bearish ‐ the value of the RSI indicator is negative and declining, MACD is thinly negative and steady, while CCI has crossed down the 100 line on the 1-hour chart, giving over all short signals. A break above yesterday's top and nearest resistance 80.08 would encourage further recovery of the dollar. Immediate support is today's bottom at 79.60, and consistent break below it could strengthen the yen further down towards next target 78.76.
