GBPUSD Outlook
Yesterday, the Sterling fight back against US Dollar, made more than 200 pips movement. From fundamental point of view, some believe that this is caused by a report that BOE may announce a plan to help the British economy/financial. From technical point of view, I am forced to change my model to mixed with upside bias, since the pair already broke the trend line (see Chart #1). We will see in days ahead, whether this is valid or false trend line break out caused by temporarily market sentiment as a reaction to BOE plan. On the daily chart, CCI is about to cross 100 line. This could be a warning for possibly further upside movement and even change of GBPUSD trend direction. The key level is 1.9990 area (61.9 % Fibonacci retracement from 1.9336 to 2.0397)

EURUSD Outlook
The EURUSD made a big gaps, closed at 1.5807 on Friday, open at 1.5702 Monday. It is 105 pips gap. In my early days trading forex, my mentor always say this about gaps: “Gaps are made to be filled”. If that’s true, why do not buy EURUSD now? In my last technical view, I showed you the potential of bullish scenario, about every time EURUSD reach the psychological at area, the pair always made a higher low, and we also have a potential bullish triangle. Here are the chart I showed you on Friday (chart #1) compare with what happen early today (Chart #2).

Chart #1

Chart #2
Do you see the highlighted eclipse on Chart #2? The candle bottom is very near to triangle line. This means, if the bullish triangle is valid, this bottom could be the other higher low after touched psychological level. So, here are what I have in mind:
- Strong bullish momentum of technical analysis
- We have gaps, big gaps of 105 pips. Usually, this gaps are filled. And if it is filled, it goes in the same direction as technical view.
Of course, there is no 100% accuracy of any analysis and no one knows the future. But we should act based on the most logical thinking.

EURUSD Outlook
Yesterday we all saw EURUSD made a new all time high at 1.5913, but the Greenback quickly recovered it’s losses and EURUSD closed at 1.5743. Technically, I see this as the third rejection of psychological 1.5904 level, a triple top on the daily chart. The key level is 1.5691 area (61.8% Fibonacci retracement from 1.5341 to 1.5913). As long as the pair sustained above this level, 1.6000 is still a realistic target. If not, the pair may reverse further to 1.5350 area just like the last time it reverse after touch 1.5904.
I also found interesting patterns on the daily chart. We have a triple top. After the pair reach the top, it always make a higher low. I Also see a potential bullish triangle (see Chart #1).

I am expecting we will see 1.6000 days ahead.
