GBP/USD pressured ahead of key CPI data

EUR/USD has been on corrective mode all Asian trade long, printing lows at 1.3225 and highs at 1.3243, last at 1.3231. Local share markets are mostly in the red, with Japan on holiday, following gas prices rising in China, and comments from BHP on slowing iron demand from China, which has sent Aussie lowest for the week, triggering some USD rally across the board. Oil and gold also trade at session lows while these lines are being written.GBP/USD traded down to 1.5865 during the Asia-Pacific session Tuesday, as risk appetite waned and investors favored the safety of the US dollar as Asian stocks traded in red.

AUD/USD has come under renewed selling pressure in Asia as traders react negatively to comments from an executive at BHP, sliding sharply from it session high of 1.0623 to a fresh session low of 1.0575 and threatening to edge lower.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD rise from 1.3150 and made a sharp move upwards breaking above our yesterday’s resistance level and closing just below of our recommended target ending our day with profits (+48 pips)!! After the price formed a top at 1.3264 (R1), the price fell and now is moving above our first support level. We expect the price to move upwards and retest the March high at 1.3264 (R1). Look for long positions at 1.3264 targeting 1.3291 (R2). A stop loss should be placed at 1.3224.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD gained momentum in yesterday’s session and formed a higher bottom and top, successfully penetrating yesterday's target ending our day with 36 pips of profit! After that the price found a strong resistance at 1.5913 (R1), a yearly high. We expect the price to move upwards but only a break above 1.5913 (R1) will give as a confirmation for long positions targeting 1.5967 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The USDJPY trapped in the 83.00 – 83.81 range. A break in either direction will determine the trading bias in today`s session. A break below 83.00 will confirm our short positions targeting 82.58 (S2) and a further fall will be limited to 81.94 (S3). On the other hand, if the pair breaks above the first resistance level of 83.81 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 84.18 (R2) a year high and further rise will then focus at 84.57 (R3).
