Resistance Levels: 1.3021 | 1.2969 | 1.2897 | 1.2818
Support Levels: 1.2719 | 1.2666 | 1.2597 | 1.2561

Intraday Analysis: EURUSD found a strong technical support at 1.26666 (S2) and in yesterday’s session it moved upwards and reached a top at 1.2818 (R1). Following that we saw a decline towards Tuesday’s support level at 1.2719 (S1). A break below that level we can expect the price to retest 1.2666 (S2), and with further decline we will be targeting 1.2597 (S3). On the upside, if price manages to break above our first resistance level 1.2818 (R1) price will most probably approach 1.2897 (R2). In the daily chart the pair is in a downtrend mode with the price moving closer to the downtrend trend line. Our recommendation for today’s session is no position as we can wait either for a reaction upwards and retest of the downtrend trend line or for a move downwards and continuation of the downtrend trend.

Resistance Levels: 1.5630 | 1.5579 | 1.5525 | 1.5497
Support Levels: 1.5422 | 1.5395 | 1.5364 | 1.5312

Intraday Analysis: The GBPUSD formed a top yesterday at 1.5497 (R1) and now it seems that it is moving upwards to retest the same resistance level. A break above that level will confirm our long positions targeting 1.5579 (R3). A stop loss should be placed below 1.5447. On the downside if price manages to stay below 1.5525 (R2) we will focus for a retest downwards towards our support level 1.5364 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level for the bulls.

Resistance Levels: 78.03 | 77.56 | 77.33 | 77.00
Support Levels: 76.76 | 76.60 | 76.04 | 75.08

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY is moving in a trading range between the levels 76.76 (S1) and 77.00 (R1). Now the price is retesting our resistance level and a break above 77.00 we expect the price to rise more towards 77.33 (R2). On the other hand, if price bounce from 77.00 (R1) we expect the price to move further downwards towards 76.60 (S2) a strong technical support level. Deeper decline will then retest 76.04 (S3). Look for a long or short position above or below either level.
