Market Expectations

EUR/USD :
Stochastic for the pair euro against the U.S. dollar appears saturated in the procurement process which leads us to expect a downward trend in real aims to the level 1.42150 and that expectation requires constant trading below 1.44620. The overall trend is still declining steadily towards to the 1.40850.



GBP/USD :

Sterling rose against the U.S. dollar late yesterday in a correction movement to the level 61.8% Fibonacci, today we expect a downward trend for the pair to return to the targets 1.59500 and then 1.59000 to open the way for further decline.



USD/JPY :
The dollar against the Japanese yen touched the resistance level yesterday at 92.500 , Stochastic indicators show saturation in the procurement process , so expect downward trend to the target 92.000 then to the 91.500 , taking into account that the penetration for the resistance point at 92.500 negate these expectations.



USD/CAD :
We might witness some volatility around the new support level in an attempt to gain upside momentum to support the bullish expectations for further upside moves over intraday basis which targets initially 1.06500 , the upside move requires the stability of 1.04450.
