GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations
On March 2, a bearish breakdown of the lower limit of the previous daily channel occurred enhancing the bearish side of the market. Persistence below the zone between 1.4950 and1.5000 indicated a further bearish decline towards 1.4700. Shortly after, the bearish trend was resumed towards the level of 1.4550, where a lower daily bottom was established. Evident bullish recovery emerged at 1.4560 pushing the GBP/USD pair above the level of 1.4700, then successive higher highs were hit. As anticipated, the daily closure above 1.5060 exposed the next resistance levels at 1.5400 and 1.5450 where extensive bearish pressure was previously applied. This enhanced the bearish side of the market towards the levels of 1.5300, 1.5250, and 1.5100 where the most recent bullish swing was initiated on May 5. On the other hand, the price zone of 1.5750-1.5800 (critical resistance zone) offered valid sell entry almost three weeks ago. The final bearish target at 1.5450 was already reached. Moreover, a lower high at 1.5660 applied significant bearish pressure. That is why the support zone between 1.5500 and1.5450 failed to stop this bearish momentum leading to its breakdown. It should be acting as intraday resistance when further retesting takes place. The low-risk sell entry can be retested. The price levels of 1.5150 and 1.5100 are exposed to be reached now. However, Tuesday's daily candlestick came as a bullish engulfing one. This has paused the bearish momentum for a few days until now. Conservative traders can wait for a bearish pullback towards 1.5080-1.5100 for low-risk buy entries. SL should be set as daily closure below 1.5080.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for June 8 - 2015
Technical summary:
An expected correction in red wave ii/ is unfolding. We will be looking for a correction towards 138.03 as an ideal downside target before the next impulsive rally higher to 144.03 and higher towards 150.77. In the short term, only a break above minor resistance at 140.54 will indicate that the correction is already over. It is calling for the next impulsive rally upwards. We have to remember that corrections in the third wave tend to be small.
Trading recommendation:
We will buy EUR at 138.35 or upon a break above 140.54 with a stop placed at 136.25 expecting to be able to raise the stop quickly.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for June 09, 2015
A daily chart is still showing a lower low pattern formation, as the pair remains below the resistance level of 1.5346. Now, we are expecting a lower continuation, because that resistance is very strong and the bearish bias is likely to start dominating the trend in the GBP/USD pair again. The MACD indicator is entering oversold territory. At the H1 chart, the support zone of 1.5259 remains very solid, because the pair was rejected at that level. Now it's trying to break the resistance level of 1.5358. The next higher target is seen at 1.5428 level, which is above the 200 SMA. However, that moving average could act as dynamic resistance.

There are no major changes in the short-term outlook for the USDX, but the Index is still moving above the support level of 95.15, a zone which rejected the US Dollar Index during yesterday's session.

Elliott wave analysis of EUR/JPY for June 12 - 2015
Technical summary:
A correction in red wave ii/ is still unfolding and as long as minor resistance at 139.61 protects the upside. We will be looking for a final decline closer to 138.03 to end red wave ii/ and set the stage for a strong rally in red wave iii/ higher to 144.03 on the way towards 150.77. It will take an unexpected break below support at 135.10 to invalidate more upside pressure and indicate that the rally from 126.05 only was a correction, but this is clearly not the preferred count.
Trading recommendation:
We will buy EUR at 138.10 or upon a break above 139.61. The stop should be placed at 137.00
