MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD moved upwards and managed to stay above yesterday’s support 1.2624 (S1) and now it is moving towards 1.2763 (R1). A break above that level we suggest further rise towards 1.2812 (R2) and then 1.2882 (R3). On the other hand, if the price manages to hold below 1.2763 (R1) we can expect retest of 1.2624 (S1). The pair is moving downwards since November 2011 and the stochastic is ready to exit downwards to the 80 level. Our recommendation for today’s session is to look for short positions close to 1.2763 (R1) with a stop loss above 1.2812 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The GBPUSD is under bearish pressure as it is approaching towards a crucial support level 1.5233 (S2). The pair reached a high at 1.5409 (R1) and then fell back towards 1.5278 (S1). Further fall will test 1.5233 (S2) and decline below this level, suggesting target at 1.5203 (S3). On the other hand, if price manages to stay above 1.5278 (S1) then we expect the price to retest 1.5409 (R1) and then further rise to 1.5487 (R2). We look for long positions in today’s session with a stop loss below 1.5278 (S1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY fell sharply and formed a strong support level at 76.60 (S1) and then we saw is rised up and made a high at 77.05 (R1). A break above that level, 77.05 (R1), we suggest further rise towards 77.33 (R2). Both of our Moving Averages are bearish, so we expect the pair to continue its downward move towards 76.03 (S2). A stop loss should be placed above 77.05 (R1).
