MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD gained momentum and formed a higher top, successfully penetrating yesterday's resistance making a new high at 1.3283 (R1). The pair is moving upwards and we expect the price to continue its uptrend but only a break above 1.3283 (R1) will give as a confirmation for long positions targeting 1.3324 (R2). As far as the price is below 1.3283 (R1) we remain flat.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD fell on yesterday’s trading session and was supported at 1.5819 (S1) a strong technical level. The price then rose and was able to close in the middle of first support and resistance level and now it seems that the price is gaining momentum. A break above 1.5913 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.5967 (R2) and further rise will be limited at 1.5997 (R3). Look for long positions at 1.5913 targeting recommended resistance levels.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The USDJPY didn’t made any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session and is still 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).
