EUR/USD

The pair continues to trend lower, with marginally fresh low posted this morning at 1.2886, following brief 1.2890/1.2952 corrective rally that was capped by 55 day EMA. Loss of momentum, accompanied with negative hourly studies, keeps the downside favored, as 10/20 day EMA bearish crossover pressures. Immediate downside targets lie at 1.2864/54, 4h Ichimoku cloud base / 13 Sep low and 1.2835, 50% of 1.2500/1.3170, ahead of 1.2826/00, 200 day MA / broken med-term bear-trendline off 1.3485, annual high, as break here would confirm top and signal further retracement of 1.2042/1.3170 corrective rally. Overnight’s high at 1.2952, reinforced by 55 day EMA, offers initial resistance, while only regain of 1.3000 handle would delay bears.

GBP/USD

Near-term price action remains well supported, despite yesterday’s dip below 1.6200 handle that was contained by 55 day EMA and above important 1.6162 support. The current movements could be described as sideways and consolidating, following brief probe above 1.6300 barrier. With hourly studies in a rather neutral mode and 4h ones slightly aligned to the downside, the most significant picture is on the daily chart. With studies showing signs of fatigue and being well in the overbought zone, as well as double doji candle, could be seen as signals of stronger reversal. Break below initial 1.6162 support is seen as a trigger, with 1.6100, also Fib 38.2% of 1.5769/1.6308, to come in focus on a break. Conversely, lift above 1.6308 to possibly signal a resumption of broader uptrend and break above long-term 1.5300/1.6300 congestion.
