MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD found strong support at 1.2666 (S3) and within 2 sessions rose sharply to form a high at 1.2870. The pair is in a strong bullish momentum as it heads towards the downtrend trend line and as we have mentioned in previous sessions, we can expect a break out or a continuation of the downtrend. Our recommendation for today’s session is no position, as we should wait for the correction or the break out to take place and then re-evaluate our positions.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD rebounded after a slight decline down to 1.5280 (S1), and is now moving towards our first resistance level at 1.5503 (R1). If it breaks above that level, it will be a proper confirmation for long positions targeting the second resistance level at 1.5577 (R2). If the price manages to stay below 1.5413, this would suggest a retest of 1.5280 (S1) and a break below this level would probably be limited to 1.5246 (S2).
