MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EURUSD formed a high at 1.3377 (R1) profiting on all our targets (1.3291, 1.3322 and 1.3375) recommended in yesterday’s analysis gaining a total of 117 pips!! EURUSD is in a strong uptrend momentum. A break above 1.3377 will continue its upward move targeting the next resistance level at 1.3425 (R1). A proper confirmation for the long positions will be when the price manages to break above the first resistance level of 1.3377(R2). A stop loss should be placed below 1.3293 (S1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY after a successful run since the beginning of February the USDJPY is moving in a consolidation mode between the levels of 79.88 (S1) and 80.46 (R1). If it breaks above the upper level we will be suggesting a target at 80.84 (R2) and of course continuation of the uptrend. On the other hand if it breaks below 79.88 (S1) we can expect the price to retest support at 79.35 (S2). As long as the price moves between 79.88 (S1) and 80.46 (R1) we remain flat.
