Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (08:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
Trades in a consolidative mode in past two days, after hitting fresh low at 1.3159 yesterday. Near-term price action continues to move around 1.3200 handle, as recovery attempt was limited under 55 day EMA. Hourly studies are rather neutral, while 4H chart outlook remains negative and keeps the downside favored, as long as initial resistances at 1.3250/80 stay intact. Loss of 1.3159, also near Fib 61.8%, to open way towards 1.3100, possibly 1.3026, 01/06 Feb lows. Only lift above 1.3300 would provide relief.

GBP/USD
Yesterday’s strong rebound off 1.5785 low, reached levels close to key near-term barrier at 1.5900, previous lows and 200 day SMA, but gains ran out of steam. To improve short-term structure and re-focus upside targets at 1.6000/1.6100, clear break above 1.5900 is required. Hourly studies, however, are losing traction, as price broke below 20 day EMA at 1.5850 that may suggest further easing and retest of strong support zone at 1.5800/1.5770, below which to signal resumption of short-term downtrend off 1.5991.

USD/JPY
The pair enters near-term sideways mode, after finding support at 81.14 yesterday. Holding above the latter and 81.00, keeps potential for fresh attack at key barriers at 81.65/86, break of which to resume an uptrend from 76.00 base. Hourly studies are neutral, while 4H indicators still in the positive territory, but pointing lower. Strong uptrend on daily chart remains intact, as studies are positive, but overbought conditions warn of stronger pullback.

USD/CHF
The near-term price action holds positive tone after gains were capped at 0.9160 zone and subsequent easing found ground at 0.9100, also 55 day EMA. Fresh strength needs to clear initial barriers at 0.9160 and 0.9200 to re-focus key short-term resistances at 0.9250/0.9300. Hourly studies are regaining strength, while 4H structure remains supportive. Break above daily 55/90 day MA’s at 0.9220/55 is required to improve currently negative structure on a daily chart.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (08:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The pair remains under pressure, as yesterday’s break below main bull trendline off 1.2973, triggered fresh weakness that so far tested our next target at 1.3100. Current bounce remains limited at 1.3150 for now and is seen corrective, as long as 1.3200, figure resistance / 20 day EMA and more significant 1.3240, 05 Mar high, stay intact.

GBP/USD
Negative near-term tone continues to drive the pair lower, as recovery attempt stalled at 1.5880, keeping strong resistance at 1.5900 zone, previous lows / 200 day SMA, intact. Fresh weakness through 1.5800/1.5770, strong supports, lost another handle at 1.5700, bringing key short-term support at 1.5650 in focus. Lower timeframe studies remain negative, but hitting extreme levels that suggest corrective action, before fresh bears come in play. Current bounce off 1.5695, yesterday’s low, faces resistance at 1.5740, hourly 20 day EMA, while only sustained break above 1.5800, 05 Mar low / 55 day EMA, would ease bear pressure and allow for possible attempt towards 1.5880/1.5900 barriers.

Yesterday’s failure to sustain recovery from 81.00 and upside rejection at 81.57, triggered fresh weakness. Loss of 81.00 handle found temporary ground at 80.50 zone, with consolidation under way. Negative hourly studies, however, keep the downside vulnerable, as 4H chart indicators are breaking below their midlines, suggesting possible extension and test of 80.24, ahead of key short-term support at 80.00, as larger timeframe studies started pointing lower. Loss of 80.00 to signal stronger correction of strong rally from 76.00 base and mar near-term top at 81.86. to aver immediate downside risk, barriers at 81.00 and 81.33 must be regained.

Extends steady near-term recovery off 0.8930 double bottom, after break above 0.9160, 05 Mar previous high, approaches next barrier at 0.9200. Current easing on overbought hourly conditions is so far seen corrective, as 0.9160 holds dips and price moves around 20 day EMA. However, further reversal into 0.9150/00 is not ruled out, as hourly structure still sees space for further easing, but only loss of 0.9100 would delay bulls. Upside regain of 0.9200 to open key short-ter. barriers at 0.9250/0.9300. Daily studies are improving after break above bear-channel resistance, with 90/55 day SMA’s at 0.9231/54 seen as next hurdles on the way towards 0.9300.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (08:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The pair regained strength following yesterday’s brief dip under 1.3100 handle, where temporary support was found. Break above hourly Ichimoku cloud and attempt above 4H 20 day EMA and channel resistance, sees scope for stronger correction, as hourly studies moved above their midlines. Larger picture’s outlook, however, maintains more bearish tone, while daily studies are losing traction, as the price broke below main bull trendline. Strong resistance at 1.3240 zone, 05 mar high / 55 day EMA, is seen capping the upside attempts for now. Minor support lies at 1.3134, ahead of strong one at 1.3100 zone, loss of which to resume broader downtrend and expose 1.3026/00 next.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:30 GMT)

EUR/USD
Eur/Usd returned above broken bull trendline and 90 day SMA, after finding support at 1.3100, two days ago, with fresh strength tested 50% retracement of 1.3485/1.3095 downleg at 1.3290, so far. Corrective pullback on overbought hourly conditions is under way. Ideally, reversal should occur above 1.3200 handle, also 55 day EMA, to keep near-term bulls in play for possible fresh attempt higher. Larger timeframes are still in the positive territory, with lift above 1.3290/1.3300 and regain of more significant barriers at 1.3336, Fib 61.8% and 1.3355, previous breakpoint, required to improve and re-focus higher levels. Only loss of 1.3200 would weaken the near-term structure and risk return to 1.3100 base.

GBP/USD

Brief reversal under 1.5800 handle, so far find support at 55 day EMA at 1.5790, however, losing momentum on hourly chart risks further easing. Next strong support lies at 1.5770 and only break here would be more harmful for near-term bulls, with 4H studies pointing lower and keeping the downside still vulnerable. Break above 1.5830 is required to improve the tone, while regain of 1.5880. 200 day SMA and previous peak, would re-focus 1.5991/1.6000 and break above one-month range.

Trades in a near-term corrective mode, after posting marginally fresh high at 81.88 during the Asian session. Quick dip off 81.88 was contained at 81.45 for now, with recovery under way. Hourly studies are still pointing lower and this may risk further easing and test of next support at 81.30/22, yesterday’s intraday low / 55 day EMA / 50% retracement of 80.60/81.88 ascend.

Near-term studies are losing traction, however, while 1.5650, today’s low and previous strong support holds, we see potential for fresh attempt higher. Clearance of yesterday’s high and bear-trendline at 1.5745, is required to improve and signal a resumption of rally from 1.5600, for possible test of key near-term barriers at 1.5800/30.

Break below yesterday’s low at 1.3050, 50% retracement of 1.2973/1.3485 upleg, approaches our next target at 1.3026, 01/06 Feb lows, ahead of Fibonacci 161.8 projection at 1.3007 and figure support at 1.3000, with key short-term support at 1.2973, 16 Feb low, coming in focus. Near-term studies are negative and keep the downside favored, with strong resistance at 1.3080/90 zone, today’ s high / 12 Mar low / 20 day EMA, expected to limit the upside. Only lift above 1.3120/30, yesterday’s intraday low / Fib 61.8% of 1.3190/1.3030, to improve near-term structure.

Res: 1.3077, 1.3090, 1.3100, 1.3120
Sup: 1.3030, 1.3026, 1.3007, 1.2973

GBP/USD
Yesterday’s strong rally off 1.5720 higher low, extended near-term recovery from 1.5600, hitting 1.5745, just under 55 day EMA and short-term bear-trendline off the recent high, before returning below 1.5700. Near-term studies are losing traction, however, while 1.5650, today’s low and previous strong support holds, we see potential for fresh attempt higher. Clearance of yesterday’s high and bear-trendline at 1.5745, is required to improve and signal a resumption of rally from 1.5600, for possible test of key near-term barriers at 1.5800/30. Loss of 1.5650, however, risks lower top and extension of broader downtrend off 1.5991, with initial support at 1.5600 and 1.5523/00, seen on a break.

Res: 1.5693, 1.5700, 1.5711, 1.5745
Sup: 1.5647, 1.5620, 1.5600, 1.5550

USD/JPY
The pair maintains strong uptrend off 76.00 base, as the latest leg higher followed near-term 82.63/82.00 consolidation. Fresh gains through our initial target at 83.00, so far reached 83.30, with 84.00/50 levels seen next, ahead of strong barriers and short-term targets at 85.27, 50% retracement of 94.97/75.56 bear-phase and 85.51, 2011 high, posted on 03 Apr 2011. Near-term studies remain supportive, however, corrective pullback on overbought conditions, not ruled-out. Initial support lies at 83.00, ahead of previous high at 82.63. Only loss of 82.00 higher base, would delay.

Res: 83.30, 83.50, 84.00, 84.50
Sup: 83.00, 82.63, 82.50, 82.00

USD/CHF
Continues to trend higher after leaving higher low at 0.9138 yesterday, with clearance of strong barriers at 0.9200/50, to open way towards key short-term resistance at 0.9300. Hourly studies are at their highs that suggests pause in current rally, in favor of corrective easing. Supports lie at 0.9250/20, ahead of 0.9200, previous high / 55 day EMA, which is expected to contain dips.

Res: 0.9273, 0.9300, 0.9338, 0.9350

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (08:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The pair continues to travel south after break below 55 day SMA at 1.3080, daily Ichimoku cloud base at 1.3050 and static support at 1.3026, tested psychological support at 1.3000. Basing attempt is seen here, as the price bounces higher. Corrective rally has so far tested 1.3050, initial barrier, ahead of 1.3065, 55 day EMA and yesterday’s high at 1.3080, before bears take control. Main short-target lies at 1.2973, 16 Feb low, with daily studies in the negative territory, keeping the overall bearish tone in play. Only break above 1.3100/20 to offer near-term relief and allow for stronger correction.

Res: 1.3065, 1.3077, 1.3090, 1.3100
Sup: 1.3014, 1.3000, 1.2973, 1.2950

GBP/USD
Near-term price action seems to be running out of steam, as upside remains capped at 1.5715, main bear trendline and double top at 1.5745. Brief break below 1.5650 support keeps the downside vulnerable, as near-term studies hold below the midlines. Firm break below 1.5650/35 and test of 1.5600 would be the likely scenario, with break here to signal resumption of short-term downtrend off 1.5990 and expose 1.5500 zone for test. Only lift above 1.5745 would ease bear-pressure and allow test of strong barrier at 1.5800/30.

Res: 1.5700, 1.5715, 1.5745, 1.5800
Sup: 1.5650, 1.5635, 1.5620, 1.5600

USD/JPY
Corrects the latest rally that cleared our target at 84.00 and posted fresh high at 84.17, as hourly studies hit extreme levels. Reversal has so far tested initial support at 83.50 zone, with room seen for further easing towards next static support at 83.00, also 20 day EMA, before bulls re-assert, as overall very bullish structure on larger timeframes shows not signal of stronger correction, despite over-extended studies.

USD/CHF
The pair’s near-term price action is in a corrective mode, after yesterday’s rally through key short-term barrier at 0.9300, posted fresh high at 0.9333, levels last time seen at the end of Jan. Loss of 0.9300 handle looks for test of next significant support at 0.9250, where also 55 day EMA lies, ahead of 0.9200 zone, loss of which to weaken the short-term structure. Daily studies, however, are turning bullish and see potential for further extension of short-term bull-leg off 0.8930 double bottom.

Res: 0.9300, 0.9333, 0.9350, 0.9376

Gains were so far capped by 55 day EMA at 1.3065, as hourly studies remain weak. Possible extension towards 1.3080/90 is not ruled out, but negative structure keeps the downside favored.

GBP/USD
Moves in a choppy sideways mode, with upside being limited under 1.5700 barrier and hourly studies holding below their midlines. Immediate focus lies at day’s lows at 1.5630 zone, ahead of more significant 12 mar low at 1.5600, loss of which to resume broader weakness off 1.5991 and open 1.5500 zone next.
