EUR/USD

The Euro holds bearish momentum, as yesterday’s rally to 1.2880 barrier was short-lived. Disappointing fundamentals, released yesterday, out additional pressure on the pair, along with weak near-term technicals. Brief break below 1.2735 platform and Fib 38.2% of 1.2042/1.3170, tests channel support at 1.2720, with figure support at 1.2700, coming in focus. Further extensions lower to face support at 1.2644, daily Ichimoku cloud base / 90 day MA. Any corrective action sees 1.2800 as initial resistance, while break above 1.2865/75, channel resistance / yesterday’s high, is required to ease bear-pressure.

GBP/USD

The negative near-term sentiment drives the pair lower, with initial support at 1.5950 being cracked. Yesterday’s bull- rally through 1.6000 and quick reversal to the initial levels, confirmed near-term bullish stance. Overall negative tone in the near-term studies, keeps the downside under pressure, with descending 20 day EMA limiting the upside at 1.6000 for now. Clear break below.5950 to focus 1.5900 base and range floor initially, with bearish continuation seen towards 200 day MA at 1.5847. Conversely, bounce through 1.6000, would ease immediate bear-pressure, however, only lift above 1.6040 would prevent fresh weakness in favor of stronger recovery.

USD/JPY

The near-term base and Fibonacci / Ichimoku support at 79.80 zone remains under pressure, as double-failure at 80.40 and subsequent slide below 80.00 support, turn near-term tone more negative. With 4h indicators sliding into negative territory and descending EMA’s capping the upside, immediate risk is seen on a break below 79.80/75 that would trigger stronger corrective action towards 78.63, Fib 38.2% of 77.94/80.67 rally and key near-term level at 79.27, 30 Oct low / 50% retracement. Only lift above 80.40 would shift focus higher again.

Any dips should be contained at/above 0.9400/0.9380, to keeps bulls in play. Increased downside risk would be seen on a loss of 0.9380 breakpoint, also 200 day MA.

EUR/USD

The pair maintains bearish tone that was confirmed on a break blow 200 day MA and important 1.2800 support that confirmed daily double-top formation. Temporary base at 1.2700 zone comes under pressure, as fresh weakness erase overnight’s recovery to 1.2738. As 1.2700 has already been cracked and hourly 55 day EMA caps the upside, with hourly studies losing momentum, immediate focus comes on 1.2700/1.2689, last Friday’s low and bear-channel support. Break here to signal resumption of broader downmove from 1.3138, through 90 day MA at 1.2650, towards 50% retracement of 1.2042/1.3170 July/Sep rally at 1.2606.

Fresh weakness from overnight’s correction top at 1.5914, pressures last Friday’s fresh low at 1.5886, loss of which to look for test of 200 day MA at 1.5848 initially. Previous strong support at 1.5950, reinforced by 20 day EMA, offers initial resistance, however, only bounce through 1.6000, round figure / 55 day EMA, would provide relief.

Corrective bounce was so far limited by 55 day EMA that turns in the sideways mode on hourly chart, with last Friday Doji, showing indecision. Any further retracement needs to clear 80.00 barrier, Fib 61.8% of 80.67/79.06 downleg, to shift focus higher, while violation of 79.00 would signal stronger correction of 77.12/80.67 upleg.

Break below strong support at 1.5900 zone, Fibonacci support / daily Ichimoku cloud base, opens way for fresh weakness, with fresh slide approaching 200 day MA at 1.5848. Consolidative / corrective action above here is likely as 4h studies are extended, while hourly MACD shows bullish divergence. Immediate barriers lie at 1.5900/20 zone, round figure / yesterday’s high / Fib 38.2% of 1.6018/1.5857 decline, while regain of 1.5950/60 would avert immediate downside risk.

Penetration through 80.00 is required to shift focus higher, otherwise, violation of 79.00 support zone would signal fresh extension of downmove from 80.67 and expose 78.50, Fibonacci support.

EUR/USD

The Euro shows a basing attempt at 1.2660, two-month low, where daily 90 day MA contained dips. Double Doji formation suggests that pause in a larger downmove from 1.3138 is likely, as the price moves above 1.2700 barrier, where yesterday’s close occurred. Improving hourly conditions are supportive, however, as the price struggles to clear 4h 20 day EMA, break of which is seen as a trigger for stronger recovery, with strong barrier at 1.2790/2800 zone. On the other side, loss of 1.2700 handle would risk retest of 1.2660 and possible resumption of downtrend towards 1.2606, 50% of 1.2042/1.3170 rally.

GBP/USD

The pair remains in a sideways trading mode, holding above 1.5857, yesterday’s fresh low, where 200 day MA limited descend from 1.6174, 01 Nov peak. Upside failure to hold gains above 1.5900, sees the near-term price action entrenched within narrow range, with hourly studies in neutral mode. However, overextended 4h chart conditions, with indicators pointing higher, along with formation of morning star patter on a daily chart, could be a signal for stronger corrective action. Clearance of initial barrier at 1.5914/19, yesterday’s high / Fib 38.2% of 1.6018/1.5857, to spark stronger rally, as today’s above these levels is required to complete morning star pattern. Conversely, loss of 200 day MA, would further weaken near-term structure and open 1.5800, round figure and 1.5761, trendline support.

Near-term bulls came fully in play, as the pair breaks above recent range top and 200 day MA at 79.60, rallying towards 80.00, initial target and breakpoint. Near-term studies turned positive, however, hesitation at 80.00 could be seen on overbought hourly studies. Clear break here to signal higher low at 79.06 and shift focus towards the upper barriers at 79.42/55 and key resistance at 80.67, 02 Nov peak. Previous barrier at 79.60, now acts as initial support, protecting 79.00, key near-term support.

Hourly studies are negative, with 4h chart indicators in descending mode, suggesting that correction could extend lower. Main risk is seen on violation of 0.9400 handle that would sideline near-term bulls.

Current correction is consolidating above 1.4150, with further easing not ruled out, and higher low above 1.41 seen to maintain bulls.

Bears took control of the near-term outlook, as the pair failed to sustain gains above 1.2800, 200 day MA and fell sharply to 1.2735, Monday’s opening levels. The reversal, signaled by Doji candle, retraced over 50% of 1.2660/1.2828 recovery rally. Hourly indicators are deeply in the negative territory and 4h chart studies building bearish momentum that keeps near-term focus at the downside. Strong support zone lies at 1.2720/00, Fib 61.8% / tentative bull trendline off 1.2660 and daily Ichimoku cloud base, seen as next downside target.

This could be seen as corrective, as 4h studies still hold in the positive territory and hourly indicators start to point higher, after breaking below their midlines. However, regain of 1.5935 is required to confirm higher low and resume near-term recovery, towards 1.5959, Fib 38.2% and 1.6000, round figure / trendline resistance.

GBP/USD

The pair holds above important 1.6000 handle, following sharp fall to 1.5960 and subsequent quick recovery. However, 4h chart studies are weakening, with loss of bullish momentum becoming more evident, increasing risk fresh weakness seen on loss of 1.6000 and confirmation of lower top on a break below 1.5960, also Fib 76.4% of 1.5926/1.6055 that would re-focus 1.5926/17 lows and 1.5900, round figure support. Four consecutive Doji candles on a daily chart, support the notion.

Conversely, regain of 1.6050 double-top would improve near-term structure and signal possible resumption of upleg from 1.5826, 15 Nov low.
