MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

EUR/USD recovers after hitting 1.3080 (S2) but it’s kept below 1.3217 (R1) minor resistance and it seems after the correction upwards that it will soon retest our first support level 1.3112 (S1). A break above the first resistance level of 1.3212 (R1) would suggest a retest of 1.3385 (R2). On the other hand, a break below 1.3112 (S1) could trigger further bearish pressure targeting 1.3080 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on the next target at 1.3026 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD raised sharply yesterday and formed another correction upwards (intraday) above 1.5676 (S1) and continued in rise from 1.5643 (S2). If GBPUSD holds above first suppot level we can expect target at 1.5771 (R1). Further rise will then focus on 1.5828 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to hold above 1.5676 we can expect the price to move downwards and retest the second support level at 1.5643 (S1) a technical and psychological level for the bulls.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The USDJPY moved upwards and formed atop at 78.66 (R1) and now it is moving towards 78.80 (S1) for a correction. If the price breaks above 78.66 level we will suggest further rise towards 79.30 (R2) and then 79.85 (R3). The pair is moving upwards since beginning of February 2012 and both of our moving averages 10 and 20 are pointed bullish. Our recommendation for today’s session is long positions at current price with a stop loss below 77.80 (S1).
