MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD has successfully broken above yesterday's resistance of 1.3141 and took out our 2 targets that were set below 1.3205. The price broke above that level and this is a valid breakout of the trading range (H4). Traders that held their positions as per yesterday’s analysis, saw gains of +150. The price now seems to be heading towards 1.3313 (R1). If the pair fails to reach that level we can expect the price to retest 1.3241 and then to continue its upward move as we are in a clear uptrend in the intraday timeframe since the beginning of February. Look for long positions as the momentum is upwards.
SUMMARY : up
TREND : up trend
MA10 : Bullish
MA20 : bullish
STOCHASTIC : overbought
MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD saw a sharp rise yesterday and broke above 1.5882, the second target in yesterday’s analysis (+80) and continued to rise from 1.5788 (S3) forming a top at 1.5900 . If the GBPUSD holds above that level we can expect a target at 1.5940 (R1). A further rise will then focus on 1.5987 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to hold above 1.5884 we can expect the price to move downwards and retest the first support level at 1.5860 (S1) a technical and psychological level for the bulls. We believe the upward momentum will continue.
SUMMARY : up
TREND : up trend
MA10 : Bullish
MA20 : bullish
STOCHASTIC : neutral
MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY gained momentum yesterday and made a top at 77.15 (S1) penetrating all of our resistance levels. A break above 77.15 (R1), our first resistance level, will give us a proper confirmation for long positions targeting 77.92 (R3). On the downside, if the price rebounds from the current resistance level we can expect retesting at 76.49 (S1). A further fall will then bring focus to the next support level at 76.25 (S2) and 76.01 (S3) a technical and psychological level.
