Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors

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

EUR/USD
Yesterday’s reversal from fresh high at 1.2745, hit day’s low at 1.2557, also Fib 61.8% of 1.2441/1.2745 upleg, where temporary support was found. Brief recovery hasn’t shown much, despite regain of 1.2600 handle, as near-term structure remains negative, following yesterday’s losses. Bounce from 1.2557 was capped by 55 day EMA at 1.2613, with fresh slide under 1.2600, keeping the downside in focus. Loss of strong supports at 1.2557, yesterday’s low and 1.2543, bull trendline connecting 1.2287 and 1.2441 lows, to trigger further weakness and open 1.2500 and 1.2440 higher platform. On the upside, only regain of strong barrier at 1.2665 would turn focus higher.

Res: 1.2600, 1.2613, 1.2645, 1.2665
Sup: 1.2557, 1.2541, 1.2534, 1.2500

GBP/USD
Bounce from 1.5629, yesterday’s low, where a corrective pullback off 1.5740 high, found support, remains under initial barrier at 1.5700, with more sideways movement seen in late Asia / early Europe trading. Near-term focus remains at the upside, as studies keep positive tone, however, break above 1.5700 is required for fresh attempt towards strong resistance zone at 1.5740/50, yesterday’s high / 200 day MA. Fibonacci level at 1.5660 offers initial support, ahead of yesterday’s low at 1.5629, while break below 1.5600 would weaken the near-term structure.

Res: 1.5700, 1.5718, 1.5740, 1.5750
Sup: 1.5660, 1.5630, 1.5600, 1.5576

USD/JPY
Narrows the near-term range, following yesterday’s upside rejection at 79.40, with 78.80 zone still holding the downside protected from retest of key near-term support at 78.60. As hourly indicators are entering negative territory and price action unable to break above 79.00, more weakness is seen likely. Loss of 78.60 would confirm bears are back in play, while bounce above 79.40 would provide near-term relief. Key upside barriers lie at 79.80 and 80.00.

USD/CHF
Maintains near-term positive tone, after strong rally from yesterday’s low at 0.9420 broke above 0.9500/36 barriers, to peak at 0.9562, Fib 61.8% of 0.9649/0.9420 downleg. Brief easing on overbought near-term conditions, found support at 55 day EMA at 0.9517. As hourly studies started to point higher, potential is seen for test of 0.9562/72 barriers, break of which to open way for further retracement and expose figure resistance at 0.9600, ahead of very significant barriers at 0.9656/75. On the downside, loss of 0.9500 would turn near-term focus lower.

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

EUR/USD
The Euro remains well supported, as strong rally from yesterday approaches initial barrier and 18 Jun high at 1.2745, with 1.2729 seen so far. Dominating positive tone on near-term studies, keeps bulls in play, with 1.2745 and 1.2800 levels in focus. Overnights correction low at 1.2661, offer initial support, along with 20 day EMA, while key near-term support, reinforced by bull trendline off 1.2287, lies at 1.2557 and break here to signal a double-top formation.

GBP/USD
Continues to trend higher, with break above previous high at 1.5740, cracking 200 day MA at 1.5750 and signaling further recovery. As larger timeframes studies show strong momentum building up and hourlies maintaining positive tone, break above 1.5750 is expected to look for test of next barriers at 1.5800 and 1.5850, 22 May high. Figure support at 1.5700 with 20 day EMA, offers initial support, while only loss of 1.5600, previous resistance and trendline support, will be bearish.

USD/JPY
The pair remains under pressure, as bear-trendline off 79.73 continues to limit the upside, with overnight’s dip below 79.00 and 78.85, near-term range floor, increasing risk of retesting key near-term support and 200 day MA at 78.60. Break here would be a signal of further weakness, with 77.65, previous low and broken bear-trendline off 84.08, to come in focus. On the upside, minor barriers lie at 79.00/13, while only regain of 79.40 would improve the near-term tone.

Came under pressure again, as near-term recovery attempt off 0.9420, failed at Fib 61.8% of 0.9649/0.9420 downleg at 0.9562, with fresh weakness nearly fully retracing the 0.9420 to 0.9562 rally. Losses reached 0.9431 low so far. Corrective action on oversold hourly studies turn remains limited under 0.9500, keeping the downside in focus. Break below 0.9420 to open 0.9400 and 0.9366.

EUR/USD
No significant action seen post FOMC, as the price remains capped under key near-term barrier at 1.2745, but downside seen more vulnerable.

GBP/USD
Easing from yesterday’s fresh high at 1.5776, after failure to clear 200 day MA, is so far seen as corrective, as long as trendline support at 1.5630 and near-term floor at 1.5615 stay intact. However, weakening hourly studies may be a signal that the pair is running out of steam. Break below 1.5615/00 to confirm and end of near-term 1.5600/1.5774 cycle and allow for stronger retracement of broader 1.5267/1.5771 rally.

Regain of key near-term barrier at 0.9562, would provide relief and signal double bottom formation.

EUR/USD
The pair has lost ground after the second unsuccessful attempt at 1.2745, sliding sharply lower, as losses accelerated on a break below 1.2640/00 support zone. Loss of trendline support and previous low at 1.2557, confirms the double top pattern and return below broken bear-trendline, connecting 1.2823 and 1.2667, opens way for fresh weakness, after overnight’s brief consolidation from 1.2530, yesterday’s low. Immediate focus comes at 1.2516, 50% of 1.2287/1.2745 ascend and 1.2500, figure support, below which would look for strong support zone at 1.2462, 61.8% and 1.2440 higher platform.

USD/JPY
The pair remains in a steady rally off 78.80, where bull trendline, connecting 77.65 and 78.60 lows, contained dips and fresh strength emerged. Clearance of strong resistances at 78.80/80.00/80.14, extends gains to the levels close to our next target at 80.60, where the price action now shows signs of exhaustion, as hourly studies enter overbought zone. Any pullback will be seen as corrective, as long as 79.80, previous range top, holds the downside, with fresh extension higher seen likely, as larger picture’s studies are gaining momentum. Above 80.60 to focus 81.00.

Crude oil contract for August continues to spiral lower, after break below strong support at 81.20/10 zone, where basing attempt failed, extended losses through our initial downside target at 80.00 and long-term trendline support at 79.00. Brief consolidation attempt at 78.00 level was short-lived, with price action extending its free-fall towards next targets and static supports at 78.70 and 74.94, Aug/Oct 2011 lows. Near-term studies are at extreme points, yet no signals of any corrective action that ,however, will be mild, as long as strong barrier at 81.10/20zone stays intact.

Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (14:00 GMT)

EUR/USD
Bounces off today’s low at 1.2518, where temporary footstep was found on 50% retracement of 1.2287/1.2745 upleg, with profit taking on past two days sharp fall, pushing the euro higher. Gains accelerated on a break above overnight’s high at 1.2563 and 20 day EMA, en-route to the next barrier at 1.2600, previous support / Fib 38.2% of 1.2740/1.2518 / 55 day EMA / broken bull trendline off 1.2287. Hourly RSI’s break out of oversold zone, as well as strong momentum building up, see potential for stronger reversal at the end of the week. Regain of minimum 1.2600, very strong resistance, is required to improve still negative near-term tone, with regain of next barriers at 1.2630 zone, 50% / 20 June spike low and 1.2656, Fib 61.8%, required to prevent further weakness. Weekly close below 1.2600, however, would be signal of further easing.

GBP/USD
Eases below today’s low at 1.5576, Fib 38.2% of 1.5267/1.5776 upleg, as brief corrective action above 1.5600 barrier failed to sustain gains, being capped by descending hourly 20 day EMA at 1.5536. With 4H chart studies moving into the negative zone and previous strong support at 1.5600 being dented, risk is seen for further extension of reversal from 1.5776, with 1.5520/00 expected to come in focus on a break below 1.5570. At the upside, regain of minimum 1.5633/60 zone, would bring more positive tone in the near-term structure and possibly open way towards 1.5700 zone.

The pair remains under pressure after losses were briefly held, first at 1.2500 and the at 1.2470, where the last footstep was found and just ahead of Fibonacci support at 1.2461. Risk-off sentiment continues to dominate, with eyes on the EU summit later this week. Immediate downside targets lie at 1.2461/40, strong support zone, loss of which to confirm double top and open 1.2400, psychological support. Initial resistances lie at 1.2500 and 1.2518, while only lift above 1.2540/50 would provide relief. Key near-term barrier at 1.2580/1.2600 keeps the upside protected for now.

The Euro continues to trend lower, ahead of EU summit, as negative sentiment, fuelled by comments of German Chancellor Merkel, Spanish auctions and Germany’s credit rating cut keep the price under pressure.

The near-term outlook still sees the downside risk, as bounce off 1.5538, 25 June low, struggles at 1.5650 zone, with near-term price action in sideways mode. However, the near-term rally remains protected by rising trendline off 1.5538 at 1.5600 zone, where also 55 day EMA lies. Loss of this level would weaken the structure and re-focus the downside. Clearance of 1.5650 to open 1.5685/1.5700 next.

Re: Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors (Updated 2xDaily)

EUR/USD
The Euro continues to trend lower, ahead of EU summit, as negative sentiment, fuelled by comments of German Chancellor Merkel, Spanish auctions and Germany’s credit rating cut keep the price under pressure. As the pair touched strong support at 1.2440 yesterday, immediate focus turns towards 1.2400 and possible extension to annual low at 1.2287 in a short-term. Overnight’s brief consolidation was limited at 1.2500, by 55 day EMA, with negative near-term studies seeing not much prospect for further corrective action for now, with significant barriers above 1.2500, standing at 1.2530 and 1.2580.

GBP/USD
The near-term outlook still sees the downside risk, as bounce off 1.5538, 25 June low, struggles at 1.5650 zone, with near-term price action in sideways mode. However, the near-term rally remains protected by rising trendline off 1.5538 at 1.5600 zone, where also 55 day EMA lies. Loss of this level would weaken the structure and re-focus the downside. Clearance of 1.5650 to open 1.5685/1.5700 next.
Larger picture’s upside rejection at 1.5776, where 200 day MA capped the rally, however, will keep the short-term structure under pressure, as long as the latter caps the upside.

USD/JPY
Reversal off 80.60 barrier that so far fell to 79.22, keeps the near-term price action under pressure, after loss of very strong supports at 80.00 and 79.80. Corrective/consolidative move off 79.36, remains limited under initial resistance at 79.80, with bearish short-term technicals, seeing risk of further decline and test of 79.00, figure support and 78.83, 200 day MA. Any stronger corrective action needs to clear minimum 80.00, to provide relief.

USD/CHF
Moves sideways around 0.9600 handle, after rally from 0.9420 base briefly tested 0.9650 barrier yesterday. Near-term picture keeps positive tone and sees potential for further retracement of 0.9769/0.9420 descend, however, hourly MACD bearish divergence, increases risk of fresh weakness. Consolidation range floor at 0.9580, holds the downside for now, with break lower to expose strong support at 0.9540 zone, loss of which will be bearish. At the upside, lift above 0.9650 opens 0.9675 and 0.9700.

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

EUR/USD
Surges higher after finding ground at 1.2400 zone, making its biggest daily gains in eight months, boosted by positive news from the EU summit. Rally briefly breached 1.2600/13 barrier, figure resistance / Fib 61.8% of 1.2741/1.2406 downleg, where brief consolidation is underway, as hourly studies reached extreme levels. Previous lows at 1.2560 zone, offers good support and keep the downside intact, with focus at 1.2645, bear-trendline, connecting 1.3282 and 1.2745 peaks, break of which to open way towards 1.2700/45.

Cable’s bounce off yesterday’s low at 1.2484, broke above 1.5600 and trendline resistance at 1.5618, retracing over 50% of 1.5776/1.5484 downleg and regaining ground. Strong barrier at 1.5650, previous highs / main bear trendline off 1.6300, comes under pressure, with break here to open way for stronger recovery and possible attack at 1.5700 and 1.5745, 200 day MA and key short-term static barrier at 1.5776, 20 June peak. On the downside, 1.5600 zone offers support and break lower would weaken the near-term bullish structure.

USD/JPY
The pair extended short-term weakness off 80.60 peak, with break below bull trendline off 77.65, testing levels just above 79.00, figure support. Corrective bounce is under way, however, not much to be expected as long as key near-term barriers at 79.86 and 80.00 stay intact. Near-term studies are still in the negative territory and only break above the latter would improve near-term tone for possible renewed attempt higher. Any failure under initial 79.86 barrier, would risk lower top and fresh extension lower. Key short-term supports lie at 79.00 base and 200 day MA at 78.85.

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

EUR/USD
The Euro corrects past two trading days strong rally, sparked by positive news from EU summit. The single currency has registered the strongest daily gains in a past eight months, as rally from last Thursday’s base at 1.2406, extended close to 1.2700, psychological barrier, after clearing main bear trendline off 1.3282 peak at 1.2600. Short-term outlook maintains positive sentiment, as risk appetite comes back in play. Corrective pullback after slight gap higher opening, is testing broken bear-trendline, with further easing not ruled out and ideal reversal above 1.2550, to maintain short-term bulls. Clearance of key short-term barrier at 1.2745, 18/20 June double top, is required to open way for stronger recovery and expose 1.2800/25, next.

GBP/USD
The pair consolidates recent strong rally from 1.5484, 28 June low, that briefly tested psychological 1.5700 barrier so far. Corrective/consolidative action off last Friday’s 1.5805 high has been contained at 20 day EMA and Fib 23.6% of 1.5484/1.5705, for now, keeping the upside in focus. However, clear break above 1.5700 barrier and clearance of more significant 1.5750, 200 day MA and 1.5776, 20 June peak, is required to confirm higher low at 1.5484 and resume short-term recovery off 1.5267, 01 June low. Short-term studies maintain positive structure for now, while only break below 1.5600 handle would weaken the tone.

Short-term outlook remains positive, as the pair’s latest rally from 79.12, 50% of 77.65/80.60 ascend, where the footstep was found, approached our key barrier at 80.00 last Friday, ahead of current corrective easing. The near-term price action is hovering around broken bull trendline in attempt to find ground, however, rather weak near-term studies keep the downside still vulnerable. Risk is seen on extension towards key near-term supports at 79.00 zone, previous lows / 200 day MA, loss of which to soften short-term structure.

USD/CHF
The pair losses ground after reversal off 0.677, 28 June high, erased a good part of 0.9420/0.9677 rally. Bounce from last Friday’s low at 0.9461, is seen corrective, as near-term studies remain negative and descending 20 day EMA keeps the upside limited at 0.9520 zone for now. Possible further extension higher needs to clear another strong barriers at 0.9570/0.9600 to improve the near-term structure, otherwise, revisit of short-term base at 0.9420 and possible break lower, would be the likely scenario.
