Euro vs. US Dollar (EURUSD): We believe that possible bearishness could be seen during this trading session. Immediate resistance is at (1.30085). Close above that area could lead us to neutral zone as direction would become unclear, but as long as price moves below that level the major scenario remains bearish. Look for short positions for current trading session.

After a sharp decline the price is now moving around the 1.2770 and is heading towards the return line 1.2645 of the downtrend trend line. A strong resistance for the bearish is at 1.2909 (S1).

Now it seems that the price is rising again towards 77.55 (R1) a strong resistance level in technical and psychological way. A break above that level we are suggesting the target to be at 78.16 (R1) and then 78.67 (R3). On the other hand if the price retest that resistance level and bounces back then we expect the price to decline towards 76.60 (S1) and then 76.03 (S2).

Intraday Analysis: EURUSD fell and formed a bottom at 1.2666 (S1) and now it seems that is heading towards 1.2763 (R1). A break above that level, we can expect a correction upwards towards 1.2814 (R2).

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD fell sharply yesterday and continued in decline from 1.5526 (R2). If GBPUSD break above that level, we can expect re-testing resistance at 1.5526 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5579 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5395 (S1) will confirm our short positions towards 1.5364 (S2) and then 1.5312 (S3).

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY lost momentum yesterday and made a bottom at 76.85 (S1) after forming a top at 77.33 (R1). A break below our support level at 76.85 (S1), will give us a proper confirmation for short positions, as we expect the pair to continue its downwards pressure. A stop loss should be placed above 77.33 (S1).

Intraday Analysis: After EURUSD formed a bottom at 1.26666 (S2) a strong support for the bulls, it seems that now is heading for an upward correction towards our second resistance 1.2897 (R2). A proper confirmation of this scenario will take place if the price manages to break above 1.2814 (R1). On the downside, if price falls back below 1.2719 (S1), we can expect the price to retest 1.2666 (S2) at a strong psychological level. A break below that level, then we will start focusing at the next support level 1.2597 (S3).

Intraday Analysis: The GBPUSD moved upwards and closed above yesterday’s resistance 1.5469 and now is moving towards 1.5525 (R1). A break above that level suggests further rise towards 1.5579 (R2) and then 1.5630 (R3). In the other hand, if the price manages to hold below the first resistance level 1.5525 (R1) we can expect retest of 1.5422 (S1) and a break below that level, expecting the price to retest 1.5395 (S2) and 1.5364 (S3) which is a strong technical and psychological support for the bulls.

A break above 76.95 could trigger further bullish moves towards 77.33 (R2). On the downside, if price breaks below 76.60 (S1), will confirm our short positions targeting 76.04 (S2). A stop loss should be placed above 76.95 (R1).

Intraday Analysis: EURUSD found a strong technical support at 1.26666 (S2) and in yesterday’s session it moved upwards and reached a top at 1.2818 (R1). Following that we saw a decline towards Tuesday’s support level at 1.2719 (S1). A break below that level we can expect the price to retest 1.2666 (S2), and with further decline we will be targeting 1.2597 (S3). On the upside, if price manages to break above our first resistance level 1.2818 (R1) price will most probably approach 1.2897 (R2). In the daily chart the pair is in a downtrend mode with the price moving closer to the downtrend trend line. Our recommendation for today’s session is no position as we can wait either for a reaction upwards and retest of the downtrend trend line or for a move downwards and continuation of the downtrend trend.

Intraday Analysis: The GBPUSD formed a top yesterday at 1.5497 (R1) and now it seems that it is moving upwards to retest the same resistance level. A break above that level will confirm our long positions targeting 1.5579 (R3). A stop loss should be placed below 1.5447. On the downside if price manages to stay below 1.5525 (R2) we will focus for a retest downwards towards our support level 1.5364 (S3) a strong technical and psychological level for the bulls.

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY is moving in a trading range between the levels 76.76 (S1) and 77.00 (R1). Now the price is retesting our resistance level and a break above 77.00 we expect the price to rise more towards 77.33 (R2). On the other hand, if price bounce from 77.00 (R1) we expect the price to move further downwards towards 76.60 (S2) a strong technical support level. Deeper decline will then retest 76.04 (S3). Look for a long or short position above or below either level.

The dollar traded at 76.89 yen from 76.85. GBP/USD sold off on Wednesday as doubts regarding the fragile European economy pushed market participants toward safer haven currencies causing interest in the greenback across the board.

EUR/GBP reached at 0.8287 the highest price since last Thursday. Price began testing the resistance area located around 0.8290 that capped the rise a week ago. The pair is extending the recovery after falling on Monday to 0.8220, this was the the lowest price printed in over 15 months, the euro rise was supported by the decline of the Pound across the board versus most of its major peers.

The pair is in a strong bullish momentum as it heads towards the downtrend trend line and as we have mentioned in previous sessions, we can expect a break out or a continuation of the downtrend. Our recommendation for today’s session is no position, as we should wait for the correction or the break out to take place and then re-evaluate our positions.

Intraday Analysis: EURUSD fell and formed a bottom at 1.2621 (S1) and now it seems that it is heading towards 1.2592 (S1) a Fibonacci retracement level - 76.40%. A break below that level, we can expect the price to retest 1.2560 (S3).

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD fell sharply yesterday and continued to decline from 1.5400 (R1) to 1.5233 (S2). If GBPUSD breaks above 1.5400 (R1), we can expect re-testing resistance at 1.5487 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5579 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5275 (S1) will retest 1.5233 (S2) and 1.5203 (S3). Since the pair is moving above 1.5233 a strong support level (daily) in technical and psychological way for the bullish, we look for long positions with a stop loss below 1.5233 (S2).

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY lost momentum yesterday and made a bottom at 76.66 after forming a top at 77.05 (R1). A break below our support level at 76.60 (S1), will give us a proper confirmation for short positions, as we expect the pair to continue its downwards pressure. A stop loss should be placed above 77.05 (S1).
