The pair consolidates after yesterday’s drop that ended at 1.2225 and during the Asian session have tested 1.2290 but failed to break. A retest of 1.2225 is expected today while bears remain in play below 1.2290, Fibo 38.2% pullback of 1.2390/1.2225 fall. A break of 1.2290 would open 1.2325 and 1.2350 next, while a drop below 1.2290 would open the path for 1.2165, 25th of July high, which would allow further down risk on the medium run.

After yesterday’s drop, the pair neutral action moved in narrow range while it still holds below 78.40. From the downside, a fall below 78.05 would open 77.95 zone that would trigger further acceleration towards 77.66 1st of Jun low. On the upside, 78.30 would open 78.40, a break on the latter would open way to bulls for a test of 78.68 peak.

The precious have edged higher yesterday towards medium term barrier zone 1640-1635, while yesterday’s action was contained at 1629.20, bears are on call if price action dropped below 1615 and 1610 next, targeting 1600 and 1590 next, below the latter would open further downside towards 1565 zone. On the other hand, the upside is still intact for a continuation of the uptrend; however 1635-40 zone should be the boiling point for a rally higher towards 1670/80 zone and 1700 next.

Trading on a side way action until yesterday’s evening drop towards 1610 gave bulls the momentum to re-enter the market and lift the Gold towards 1620 resistance. Breaking that resistance would open further upside to previous highs of 1627-29 zone and maybe higher towards the upper range of the sideway medium term trend to 1640. On the other hand, holding 1620 would trigger bears to test 1610 and 1600 next, which might open further drop towards 1590 and 1582

After the FOMC rate statement the single currency has dropped sharply to 1.2218 few pips lower our initial support at 1.2225 30th July low, hourly oversold conditions could drive the pair higher towards 1.2270 and probably to 1.2284 zone, maintaining those resistance levels would signal further acceleration again lower for another test of 1.2225 and 1.2165 next.

Immediate support lies at 1.2260, overnight’s low, ahead of 1.2240, key near-term level, below which to signal further extension lower, with significant support zone at 1.2220/00, along with Fib 61.8%, seen next.

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

EUR/USD
Maintains near-term positive tone, with yesterday’s rally extending gains to 1.2372 so far. As the price holds above psychological 1.2300 level and corrective pullback being contained at our initial support / 20 day EMA at 1.2320, fresh strength is looking for retest of 1.2372, above which to open 1.2386, 09 Aug high and 1.2400, figure resistance / 55 day SMA. Any dips should be held above 1.2300 handle, otherwise risk of revisiting recent lows would increase, as larger picture still shows bears in play.

GBP/USD
The pair holds positive near-term structure, as the price action moves around 1.5700 handle, following yesterday’s brief break higher to 1.5716. Immediate targets at very strong resistance zone at 1.5720, 200 day MA and range tops at 1.5760, remain in focus, as near-term indicators stay in the positive territory, with higher base at 1.5656, reinforced by 55 day EMA, expected to contain dips.

USD/JPY
The near-term price action continues to move higher, supported by positive near-term studies, after finding ground at 78.15 zone. However, short-term range-trade will continue, unless the upper boundary at 78.80, also Fib 38.2% of 80.09/77.90, is cleared. Dominating negative tone on the larger timeframe, requires caution, as 200 day SMA at 79.16, keeps the upside protected for now.

USD/CHF
The pair remains at the back foot, as yesterday’s extension under 0.9750, tested our next target at 0.9700, with subsequent bounce being capped by descending 20 day EMA at 0.9742, just under initial 0.9750 barrier. Fresh weakness, supported by negative near-term studies, looks for break below important 0.9700 level, loss of which to signal lower top at 0.9808 and turn focus towards 0.9655, 07/08 Aug double-bottom and daily 55 day EMA.

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

EUR/USD
The single currency loses traction after hitting fresh high at 1.2384, as series of disappointing but expected Eurozone data were released, with additional pressure coming on dollar supportive US Retail Sales. Losses accelerated on release of US data, with initial support at 1.2320 zone now coming under pressure. Loss of momentum on hourly chart, with MACD pointing lower but still above the midline, see risk of further easing, however, ability to reverse above 1.2300 handle, would keep hopes of fresh gains in play. As larger picture’s bears remain in play, short-term action off 1.2042 low is seen as corrective as long as important 1.2440 barrier stays intact.

Res: 1.2361, 1.2386, 1.2400, 1.2441

GBP/USD
Today’s fresh extension higher and test of 200 day SMA, when the price posted fresh two-week high at 1.5727, keeps near-term focus at the upside, as initial support at 1.5670, reinforced by 55 day EMA, holding dips. Risk of further weakening would increase on a loss of 1.5650 higher low and Fib 38.2%. On the upside, lift above 200 day SMA to open two-month range top and strong barrier at 1.5760/70 zone.

USD/JPY
The pair surges through the short-term range top at 78.80, as gains accelerate on upbeat US data, to possibly signal fresh direction after being entrenched in a three-week range. Immediate focus turns at another strong resistance zone at 79.00/15, figure resistance / 50% of 80.09/77.90 descend / daily Ichimoku cloud base and 200 day SMA, break of which is required to confirm. However, overextended hourly conditions, suggest corrective action, preceding fresh rally.

AUD/USD
Remains in a near-term corrective mode of the broader 1.0175/1.0612 upleg, as weak short-term studies and brief break below initial support at 1.0500, see scope for further retracement. While today’s high at 1.0540, reinforced by descending 55 day EMA, keep the upside capped, immediate focus turns towards next significant support at 1.0440 zone, 02 Aug double-bottom and Fib 38.2% of 1.0175/1.0612 rally.
