MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD rise on Friday and penetrated successfully our first resistance giving us a profit of 51 pips!! We expect the price to continue its upward move as it is under bullish pressure, but before that we can expect for a correction downwards below 1.3377 (S1) and then to continue upwards. Look for long positions below 1.3377 (S1) with a stop loss at 1.3293 (S2) targeting 1.3486 (R1).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY formed a high at 81.66 (R1) profiting on all our targets recommended on Friday's analysis gaining a total of 107 pips!! After that the pair fell and it now seems that it is going to retest 80.78 (S1) soon. A break below that level will be suggesting target at 80.42 (S2) as we are in a correction phase of our uptrend. On the other hand if price manage to break above 81.66 (R1) we will then expect the price to reach 81.97 (R2) and then further rise will then approach towards 82.50(R3). Look for long positions above 80.42 (S2) with a stop loss below 79.88 (S3) targeting second resistance level 81.97 (R2).
