Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The Euro continues to travel south, as concerns about Eurozone crisis rise. Negative sentiment drives the pair lower, with 1.2000 zone coming in focus. Loss of near-term base at 1.2500 has triggered fresh weakness, with yesterday’s break below the next round figure support at 1.2400, extending losses to 1.2356, fresh 2-year low so far, en-route to 1.2150, low of June 2010, our next target. Any corrective action would be triggered by overextended studies, with strong barriers at 1.2500 and 1.2600 zone, expected to cap for now, with interim minor resistances at 1.2400 and 1.2460/80.

Res: 1.2400, 1.2422, 1.2460, 1.2480
Sup: 1.2356, 1.2350, 1.2300, 1.2250

GBP/USD
The pair accelerated losses after break below 1.5640/00, the last significant hurdle on its way down, towards 1.5233, 2012 low, posted on 13 Jan. Minor supports at 1.5530/00 have been also cleared, as negative sentiment increases. With near-term studies deeply in the negative territory, some corrective action may be seen, preceding fresh weakness. Previous supports at 1.5500/30, now offer initial barrier, while any stronger bounce should find strong resistance at 1.5600/40 zone.

Res: 1.5500, 1.5530, 1.5600, 1.5640
Sup: 1.5461, 1.5400, 1.5350, 1.5300

USD/JPY
The pair has lost ground after near-term recovery attempt failure and returned to a broader downtrend, after breaking below main bear-trendline off 84.08 and key near-term support at 79.00. Fresh weakness is approaching our next downside barrier at 78.60, 200 day MA, below which to focus 78.30, Feb’s range top and 78.00, round figure support. With hourly indicators at extreme points, corrective movements are seen in the near-term. Previous support and today’s high at 79.00/12, now act as initial resistance, while only regain of 79.40/60 zone would provide relief.

Res: 79.00, 79.12, 79.20, 79.60
Sup: 78.70, 78.60, 78.30, 78.00

USD/CHF
The near-term rally accelerated on a break above strong barrier at 0.9600 and extended through 0.9700, weekly 150 day MA, posting fresh high at 0.9718, during the Asian session. Bulls remain firmly in play, with corrective pullback on overbought near-term studies, under way. Immediate support lies at 0.9675, ahead of minor ones at 0.9640/20 zone and key near-term support at 0.9600, also near Fib 38.2% of 0.9366/0.9718 rally and should contain any stronger reversal. On the upside, return to the levels above 0.9700 to focus 0.9743/73, ahead of 0.9800, figure resistance.

Res: 0.9700, 0.9718, 0.9743, 0.9773

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
Moves in a third wave from last Friday’s low at 1.2287, after yesterday’s strong reversal from day’s high at 1.2541, found support at 1.2410, 50% retracement of 1.2287/1.2541 upleg. Fresh strength regained 1.2500 handle and briefly broke above main bear trendline, drawn off 1.3282 peak, increasing possibilities for stronger gains, as hourly indicators moved into positive territory. Clearance of 1.2541 barrier and close above here, will confirm near-term bullish structure for fresh extension towards 1.2600 and breakpoint zone at 1.2623/41. Broken bear trendline, along with yesterday’s intraday high at 1.2470, offers initial support, while key near-term support lies at 1.2400 zone and break here would be bearish.

GBP/USD
Break above near-term range top, last Friday’s spike high and Fib 38.2% of 1.5715/1.5267 descend at 1.5437, now signals fresh strength ahead. As hourly studies regained momentum, potential is seen for test of significant barriers at 1.5500/25 clearance of which to allow for stronger recovery and possibly expose 1.5600, previous strong support, now reverted to resistance. Yesterday’s higher low at 1.5320, along with 1.5300, round figure support and long-term bull trendline off 1.3500, 2009 low, offer key near-term support, with break here to bring bears back in play for test of 1.5267/33.

Sup: 1.5414, 1.5400, 1.5374, 1.5340

USD/JPY
Maintains positive tone off last Friday’s low at 77.65, as the near-term price action breaks above 200 day MA at 78.65 and main bear trendline at 78.70. Fresh strength approaches the next strong barrier at 79.00, retracing so far over 50% of 80.13/77.65 downleg, with break here to signal stronger correction of broader downtrend from 84.17, yearly high. Toppish hourly studies may delay fresh strength, with previous resistance at 78.60 zone, now offering support and required to contain dips. However, only loss of 78.00, would be a signal that bears are back in play.

USD/CHF
The pair extended its near-term corrective pullback through 0.9637/00 support zone, to dip to 0.9575 so far, where a temporary footstep was found. Bounce from here was short-lived, as gains were capped on approach to 0.9700, our next barrier and subsequent slide below 0.9600, now increase risk of further easing. Loss of 0.9575 to open 0.9500, next strong support, for test, ahead of possible further easing towards 0.9400 and strong support at 0.9366, 21 May higher low.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The euro extended its near-term gains off 1.2267 low, after digesting yesterday’s ECB’s data. Bullish momentum pushed the pair to the levels close to the next resistance zone at 1.2600 and 1.2623, 28 May high / Fib 61.8% of 1.2823/1.2267 descend, with clear break here to spark more significant recovery. On the downside, 1.2541/00 offers immediate support, ahead of more significant 1.2441, yesterday’s higher low / 50% retracement, loss of which would weaken the structure.

Res: 1.2584, 1.2600, 1.2623, 1.2641
Sup: 1.2541, 1.2526, 1.2500, 1.2470

GBP/USD
Yesterday’s regain and brief break above 1.5500 barrier, keeps the near-term bulls off 1.5267, last Friday’s low, in play, with immediate target at 1.5525, 31 May high. Corrective pullback on overbought hourly conditions faces initial and strong support at 1.5440 zone, where previous range high and 55 day EMA lies, ahead of 1.5400 zone that is expected to contain dips and keep near-term bulls in play. Loss of 1.5400, however, would be spark for fresh weakness and test of strong support zone at 1.5320/00.

USD/JPY
Continues to trend higher after clearance of very significant barriers at 78.60, 200 day MA / main bear trendline and 79.00, 18 May low. Break above the latter now sees potential for stronger corrective action and possible retest of the next strong resistance zone at 80.00. Minor support lies at 79.20 zone, ahead of 79.00, with today’s close above here, required to keep near-term bulls in play.

As expected, the dollar extended its near-term corrective action against the Swiss Franc, after failure to regain 0.9700 barrier, sparked sell-off through previous low at 0.9675, also 50% of 0.9366/0.9769 rally. Dips so far reached 0.9538, just ahead of our next target at 0.9527, Fib 61.8% and 0.9500, figure support. Bounce on oversold hourly conditions, faces immediate barriers at 0.9675 and 0.9600, however, only break above 0.9650 would prevent the pair from further sliding. As the price broke below main bull trendline on the daily chart and studies started to point lower, further retracement should not be ruled of, with break below 0.9500 handle to sideline short-term bulls.

EUR/USD
The risk-off tone dominated during the Asian session, after the pair stretched above 1.2600 barrier and tested previous 28 May high at 1.2623. Subsequent reversal and attempt below 1.2500, figure support, also Fib 38.2% of 1.2287/1.2623upleg, risks further weakness, as hourly studies dipped in the negative territory. Next supports lie at 1.2455/41, 50% retracement / 06 June higher low, with reversal at/above these levels, still to keep overall bulls in play. Break below here and loss of 1.2416, Fib 61.8% / broken main bear trendline and 1.2400, will signal an end of corrective phase off 1.2287. As recent gains were capped at 1.2623 barrier, reinforced by descending daily 20 day MA and daily studies starting to point lower, additional pressure would be expected.

Sup: 1.2455, 1.2441, 1.2416, 1.2400

GBP/USD
Strong barrier at 1.5600 has capped yesterday’s sharp rally after clearance of 1.5500 resistance zone. Reversal from 1.5600 lost supports at 1.5514/00, as well as 1.5472, Fib 38.2% of 1.5267/1.5600 ascend that weakened the near-term structure, with hourly indicators moving below their midlines. This turns immediate focus at 1.5430, yesterday’s low / 50% retracement, ahead of breakpoint at 1.5400 zone, bull trendline off 1.5267 low / Fib 61.8%, loss of which to dampen near-term bulls and open way for possible test of strong support at 1.5300, long-term bull trendline off 1.3500, 2009 low. Reversal above 1.5400, however would delay bears, but any bounce would be seen as corrective, unless sustained break and weekly close above 1.5500 zone is seen.

Sup: 1.5430, 1.5414, 1.5400, 1.5394

USD/JPY
Minor corrective reversal has followed rally towards 80.00 barrier that stalled at 79.78 yesterday. As dips remain contained above strong support at 79.00, along with 20 day EMA, hopes for fresh attempt higher exist. Today’s close above 79.00 is required to keep short-term bulls in play for possible stronger retracement of 84.17/77.65 descend, with clearance of 80.00/60 zone required to confirm. Main support at 78.65, broken bear-trendline off 84.08 / 200 day MA, needs to hold, otherwise, bears will take controls.

Res: 79.50, 79.81, 80.00, 80.13
Sup: 79.16, 79.00, 78.65, 78.46

USD/CHF
The near-term corrective action off 0.9769 high, has so far been contained at strong support zone at 0.9530/00, 28 May low / Fib 61.8% of 0.9366/0.9769 upleg, with subsequent bounce under way. Positive hourly studies see potential for further gains, with regain of 0.9650/75 barriers required to avert immediate downside risk and confirm higher low at 0.9530 for possible attempt at 0.9700/69 zone, as daily studies maintain short-term positive tone and started to point higher. Upside rejection under 0.9650, however, would keep the downside vulnerable.

EUR/USD
Overnight’s over 100 pips gap-higher opening keeps the short-term bulls off 01 June 1.2287 low in play, as the price breaks above strong 1.2600/20 barrier, also Fib 61.8% of 1.2823/1.2687 downleg. Today’s close above 1.2620 would be supportive for further extension higher, as the pair gained strong bullish momentum.

Break of the latter to focus next significant barriers at 1.5640 and 1.5700/15.

EUR/USD
The negative sentiment has come back in play, as initial optimism from Spanish bailout and yesterday’s jump higher, were short-lived. Filling yesterday’s gap has resulted in further weakness that nearly fully retraced initial rally from 1.2434 to 1.2667. As overnight’s bounce was capped at 1.2500 barrier, also 20 day EMA, with weak hourly studies, near-term outlook remains negative. Break below 1.2440 zone, also Fib 61.8% of 1.2287.1.2667 upleg and 1.2400, 05 June low / figure support, to possibly signal an end of short-term corrective action.

GBP/USD
Near-term price action shows the pair at the back foot, following the upside rejection at 1.5600, however, positive short-term structure off 1.5267, 01 June low, remain intact for now. Bull trend line, connecting 1.5267 and 1.5400, now offers good support and holding above here, would keep hopes of fresh strength alive. Upside break above 1.5600, key near-term barrier, is required to trigger stronger corrective action and open 1.5640 and 1.5700 next. On the downside, break below trendline and 1.5400, 08 June higher low, would risk test of very strong support at 1.5320, 05 June low / long-term bull trendline off 2009 low and 1.5300, figure support.

As daily 55 day MA crossed below 90 day MA at 80.40, this would be limiting the upside, in case of lift above 80.00/13 barrier.

While the downside remains protected at 0.9560/40 zone, hopes of fresh attempt higher exist, with clearance of initial barrier at 0.9644 and more significant 0.9656/75, required to signal bottom at 0.9477 and turn near-term focus higher.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
Remains in a near-term range that was interrupted by brief break to 1.2667 on Monday. Hourly structure is still positive, with 20 day EMA holding the downside during the overnight session, however, yesterday’s upside rejection at 1.2609 and this morning’s failure at 1.2587, see risk of retesting strong support zone at 1.2550/40, where also Fib 38.2% of 1.2455/1.2609 upleg and near-term bull trendline off 1.2455, 12 June low lie. Break here would weaken the near-term structure and allow for further slide towards Fibonacci supports at 1.2525 and 1.2505, with loss of the latter seen bearish. Studies on the daily chart have regained some momentum, however, yesterday’s gains were capped by descending trendline, connecting 1.3282 and 1.2667 peaks that may be a signal for fresh weakness ahead. Break above week’s high and Fib 38.2% of 1.3282/1.2287 descend at 1.2667 is required to confirm short-term bulls and trigger stronger recovery.

GBP/USD
Came under pressure after renewed attempt higher stalled at strong barrier at 1.5600, where descending daily 20 day MA capped gains.. The third wave off yesterday’s peak at 1.5597, broke below bull trendline at 1.5500 that sparked fresh sell-off, with test of Fib 38.2% at 1.3470 seen so far. As hourly studies broke into negative territory, further weakness is likely, with next barriers at 1.5452, 12 June low and more significant 1.5400, 08 June low, loss of which to confirm top at 1.5600 and open 1.5320/00 next. On the upside, today’s high at 1.5530, offers initial resistance, together with 20 day EMA, while only lift above bear-trendline, connecting 1.5600 and 1.5581 peaks, would turn focus higher.

USD/JPY
The dollar came under pressure again on negative fundamentals, keeping the upside target at 80.00 intact for now. However, Short term positive tone still exists, as long as higher base at 79.10 zone holds, with initial support at 79.30, 55 day EMA. Negative tone that dominates on hourly chart and descending 4H chart studies attempting at their midlines, see risk of further easing. Key supports lie at 79.00 and 78.70, 200 day MA, below which, larger picture’s bears off 84.17, yearly high, will take control. Overnight’s high at 79.47 offers initial resistance, ahead of recent range ceiling at 79.80 zone that capped the past few day price action.

USD/CHF
Maintains negative near-term tone, as reversal from 0.9650, 12 June high, broke below Fibonacci 61.8% support at 0.9543, to hit 0.9520 so far. Brief corrective action was so far capped by 20 day EMA on hourly chart, with indicators holding below their midlines and keeping the downside vulnerable. Break below 0.9520/00 breakpoint will be a trigger for further extension of short-term reversal from 0.9769 peak, with 0.9400 and 0.9366 expected to come in short-term focus. Loss of bullish momentum on a daily chart, sees potential for further retracement of 0.9041/0.9761 upleg.

EUR/USD
Remains in a near-term range that was interrupted by brief break to 1.2667 on Monday. Hourly structure is still positive, with 20 day EMA holding the downside during the overnight session, however, yesterday’s upside rejection at 1.2609 and this morning’s failure at 1.2587, see risk of retesting strong support zone at 1.2550/40, where also Fib 38.2% of 1.2455/1.2609 upleg and near-term bull trendline off 1.2455, 12 June low lie. Break here would weaken the near-term structure and allow for further slide towards Fibonacci supports at 1.2525 and 1.2505, with loss of the latter seen bearish.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (07:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
The risk appetite is back after Greek election’s results provided relief and the Euro extended its past four days gains against the dollar. Last Friday’s break above descending trendline off 1.2823 and close just under week’s high at 1.2667, overnight’s gap higher opening that regained levels above 1.2700 handle, keeps the near-term outlook positive. Immediate focus lies at 1.2800/23 zone, however, corrective easing on extended hourly conditions, is not ruled out. Initial support at 1.2667 has been briefly touched, with possible extension towards 1.2630, 55 day EMA / Fib 38.2% of 1.2441/1.2745 and 1.2600, where dips should be contained, to keep short-term bulls intact.

Res: 1.2700, 1.2714, 1.2745, 1.2800
Sup: 1.2667, 1.2645, 1.2630, 1.2600

GBP/USD
Strong rally, seen last Friday, after the pair broke above strong barrier and near-term range top at 1.5600, extended gains through 1.5715, our next target, to hit 1.5740 so far, just ahead of 200 day MA at 1.5750. Corrective action on overbought near-term conditions is expected to precede fresh strength, with strong support at 1.5640, mid-February range floor, offering good support. Break above 1.5750 to expose 1.5800 and 1.5847, 22 May high, while only loss of 1.5600 handle would weaken short-term structure.

Res: 1.5700, 1.5718, 1.5740, 1.5750
Sup: 1.5650, 1.5640, 1.5600, 1.5581

USD/JPY
The pair bounced of dangerous zone, as 200 day MA at 78.50 keeps the downside protected for now. Regain of 79.00 handle, previous support, sees potential for further gains, as hourly studies turned positive, however, still weak tone on 4H chart studies, sees risk of fresh weakness unless strong barrier at 79.80 is regained. Break here to open way for further gains towards 80.00/13 and 80.60. On the downside, 78.50, offers strong support, ahead of 77.65, broken bear – trendline / 01 June low.

Res: 79.29, 79.50, 79.80, 80.00
Sup: 79.10, 78.80, 78.60, 78.50

USD/CHF
Extends the short-term weakness off 0.9769, 01 June high, after today’s gap-lower opening, broke below last week’s low at 0.9477, with dip seen to 0.9425 so far. As negative near-term tone keeps the downside in focus, the pair approaches 0.9400, our initial target, also 50% retracement of 0.9041/0.9769 ascend, ahead of very strong support at 0.9366, 21 May low. Corrective bounce on oversold hourly conditions, stays capped by previous support at 0.9477, for now, however further rally is not ruled out, with 0.9500 zone, also 55 day EMA, seen capping. Only lift above 0.9540/50 zone would provide near-term relief.

Res: 0.9477, 0.9494, 0.9405, 0.9540
