MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The EURUSD fell and formed a new bottom at 1.3133 (S2). After that the price rebounded and was able to break above yesterday’s resistance and it seems it will re-test a high soon. A break above the first resistance at 1.3213 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.3284 (R2). If price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3325 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3213 (R1) we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3177 (S1) and a break below that level would suggest target at 1.3133 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD made a high at 1.5913(R2) as it continued its move upwards since middle of March. A break above 1.5831 (R1) would suggest March high at 1.5913 (R1) a level that has been retested twice but without managing to break above it. On the other hand a break below 1.5784 (S1) would suggest target at 1.5734 (S2) and further fall will then be limited at 1.5654 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY moved downwards and successfully penetrated our yesterday’s support forming a new low at 82.32 (S1) and after that rise and closed below of our first resistance. The pair is under bearish pressure since the price made a high at 84.15 (R3) and retested it twice without succeeding to break above it with a resulting reversal and downwards move. A break below the 82.32 (S1) level would suggest a target at 81.94 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on 81.51 (S3). We believe the pair will continue the downward move and will find a strong support at 81.00 (S4) a significant technical and psychological level.
