MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

After the EURUSD formed a bottom 1.3003 (S3) the pair rose and penetrated upwards all of our resistance levels forming a new high (intraday) at 1.3189 (R1). If it breaks above that level we can expect a target at 1.3273 (R2). On the other hand if a break occurs below the first support at 1.3119 (S1) expect the price to retest 1.3048 (S2) and any further fall will then be limited to 1.3003 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level for the bulls as it has been retested in the past (Feb. 2012) without succeeding to break below it.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The GBPUSD gained momentum and rose forming a new top at 1.5861 and after then fell and since last night is moving in a consolidation mode. If a break occurs above the first resistance level at 1.5861 (R1) it would suggest a target at 1.5912 (R2) and any further rise will then be limited to 1.5967 (R3). If it fails to break above the first resistance level we expect the price to retest 1.5787 (S1). A break below that level would suggest a target at 1.5734 (S2) and any further fall with then focus on 1.5654 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY has been moving upwards since the beginning of March and the bulls face a major hurdle at the 84.18 level (resistance), a level that is significant both psychologically and technically. A break above 83.81 (R1) would suggest a target at 84.18 (R2) a year high. On the other hand a break below 83.17 and we expect the price to retest 82.58 (S2) and any further fall with then be limited to 81.96 (S3).
