EUR/USD

Maintains negative tone after Friday’s loss of strong support at 1.4450 and sharp fall towards 1.4300, key short– term support. The pair is currently in a near-term consolidative phase after closing at 1.4330 on Friday and posting fresh low at 1.4320 overnight. Hourly chart regains momentum and attempt to break above 20 day MA that would signal correction, as near-term studies are in oversold zone. Upside looks capped at 1.4450/1.4500 for now, as wider picture studies point to the downside, with loss of daily 55 day MA, looking for attempt through 1.4300, to possibly test 1.4250 zone, 30 May lows / Fib 61.8% of 1.3968/1.4695 ascend.

Extended losses from 1.6471, clearing key short-term support at 1.6300 zone and Fib 61.8% of 1.6057 / 1.6545 upleg at 1.6244, to test levels just above 1.6200 handle. Current narrow consolidation at 1.6230/40 zone would likely precede fresh weakness, as near-term structure remains negative. However, oversold conditions may trigger further corrective action, with strong barrier at 1.6300/20 expected to cap. Below 1.6200 focus comes at 1.6131, 25 May low, ahead of possible full retracement and test of 1.6057, seen near-term.

Corrective pullback on overbought near-term conditions, has so far been contained at 0.8440 support zone, also Fib 50%, keeping near-term bulls in play. Clearance of 0.8550 would open way for fresh extension higher and target 0.8600/60 next. On the downside, loss of 0.8440, would risk fresh weakness below 0.8400 and likely signal an end of recovery phase.

EUR/USD

Maintains near-term positive structure off 1.4073, 3-weeks fresh low, after pullback from 1.4338, last Friday’s recovery high, was supported by trendline, connecting 1.4073 and 1.4126 lows. Fresh attempt higher needs to clear 1.4320./38, channel resistance / previous high, to resume recovery towards 1.4380, Fib 50% of 1.4695/1.4073 downleg, with possible extension to 1.4430/60 seen on a break. Failure to break above 1.4338, however, would signal lower top and fresh weakness and turn focus to 1.4190, today’s low.

GBP/USD

Extends near-term recovery phase from 1.6077, 16 June low, in attempt to emerge from the recent consolidative range, with recent brief break above 1.6200 range ceiling, signaling further correction of the broader downmove from 1.6545 and 1.6470. However, clearance of 1.6224 is needed to confirm and expose 1.6285/1.6300 zone next, as hourly studies remain supportive. On the downside, hourly 20 day MA underpins, with key near-term support at 1.6108.

Recovery from 79.68, 08 June low, was capped at 81.05, with fresh weakness testing psychological support at 80.00 so far. Loss of 80.00 would open strong supports at 79.68/55 for retest, break of which would confirm broader weakness off 85.50, as wider picture outlook remains capped by 55/90 day MA’s at 81.67/77 and 82.20, previous high and 200 day MA at 82.34.

USD/CHF

Continues to lose traction as the recent recovery from 0.8325 record low, stalled on test of initial barrier at 0.8550. Downside loss of 0.8466/40 support zone, increases risk of lower top at 0.8550 and extension of broader downtrend. Loss of 0.8420/00 support is needed to confirm and open way for retest of 0.8345/25 lows.

Extends near-term recovery phase from 1.4073 low, breaking above bear channel from 1.4695 and previous high at 1.4338, to test Fib 50% of 1.4695/1.4073 decline at 1.4380. Mild correction to 1.4300 zone on overbought hourly studies was seen overnight, with fresh strength looking for break above daily 55 day MA at 1.4410, to possibly open 1.4496, 14 June high for retest. Near-term studies remain supportive, however, caution on hourly conditions approaching overbought zone. On the downside, 20 day MA at 1.4310, maintains positive tone, with reversal under 1.4290, yesterday’s intraday low and 1.4275, trendline support, to possibly signal near-term top and trigger deeper pullback.

Hourly 20 day MA, currently at 80.20, limits the upside, with break here and 80.30/40, previous high zone, required to ease immediate bear pressure and signal further recover. However, clearance of 81.05 is needed to confirm higher low and possibly open way for test of 81.76/82.20 barriers. On the downside, loss of 80.00 handle risks retest of 79.68/55, key supports.

EUR/USD

Strong rebound from 1.3836, 12 July low, exceeded our barrier at 1.4200, to extend gain to 1.4281 so far, just under Fib 61.8% retracement of 1.4576/1.3836 downleg. This confirms temporary bottom at 1.3836 and turns near-term focus higher. Corrective pullback from 1.4281, on overbought hourly conditions, has so far been contained by 20 day MA at 1.4165, with further reversal to be contained at 1.4130/00 zone, to keep immediate bulls in play. Above 1.4281 open way for test of key near-term resistance at 1.4373.

New high was reached at 1.6192, ahead of corrective easing. Dips should hold above 1.6050, to maintain near-term bull-tone for fresh attempt through 1.6200 zone, towards next strong barriers at 1.6248/61, bear-channel resistance / 22 June high.
