EUR/USD Technical View

Euro didn’t manage to hold above 1.3680/1.3700 and we are currently trading just bellow that support area. Trading so close to an important resistance area, 1.3680/1.3700, and also just above the 1.3600 support line is not exactly giving the pair a clear direction so we will have to wait and see where on which side the Euro will break. If the downside pressure starts to build up we will witness a retest of the 1.3600/15 support area and if the pair manages to break bellow it, a push towards the next bear target around 1.3550/60 and even lower at 1.3460. If on the other side euro manages to recover some strength a move above 1.3700 might in play and if the pair manages to clear yesterday’s high at 1.3725 we will have to focus our attention on future resistance levels because another push towards the 1.3850 highs might be in play, closest resistance is the 1.3750 level that could act as intermediary resistance before a push towards July 24th highs at 1.3850.

GbpUsd Technical View

Cable tested the 2.0365 resistance and failed to break above it, after that it gave back around 150 points in a sharp move towards the 2.0200 support line. If the south move is going to continue we should see a break bellow the 2.0200 support either today or tomorrow, if that happens the next support is April 18th high of 2.0133 before the 2.0000 round number. If the 2.0200 proves to be to strong and the pair doesn’t get bellow it we might see the pair being range bound between 2.0200 and 2.0365; the short term bias is to the south but price needs to break the above mentioned support in order for us to be more relaxed about opening new trades. Of course one has to take into consideration that a new bounce from the 2.0200 level might push the pair to retest the 2.0365 resistance and even have enough energy to get above it, with that in mind closest resistance is the 2.0400 followed by the 2.0500, both of them are intermediary levels before the pair gets close enough to July 24th record high at 2.0650.

Resistance Levels

• 2.0700- round number
• 2.0650 – July 24th High

Support Levels

• 2.0360 – July 11high
• 2.0200 – Round number
• 2.0133 – April 18th High
• 2.0060/70 – April 25th High
