MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD has been moving upwards since the middle of April and the bulls face a major hurdle at the 1.3226 level (resistance), a level that is significant both, psychologically and technically. A break above 1.3226 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.3287 (R2) and further rise will then be limited to 1.3351 (R3). On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level then we expect the price to retest 1.3180 (S1) and if a break occurs below that level the expected target is at 1.3118 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD didn’t make any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session apart from a false break out above 1.6150. Following that the price fell and trapped in a trading range between yesterday’s current support and resistance levels. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position until we see a clearer trend direction. No position.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The USDJPY moved upwards and broke above yesterday’s support level closing around to 81.60, just below our first resistance. A break above 81.77 (R1) will confirm our long positions targeting 82.41 (R2). On the other hand a break below 81.20 (S1) would suggest a target at 80.29 (S3).
