EUR/USD

Gains off yesterday’s 1.2294 higher low breached key 1.2445 high to extend corrective reversal. Market approached 1.2670 today, ahead of key 1.2738 level. Break here is needed to trigger a stronger bounce, while 1.2450 supports the advance. Loss of the latter, however, risks 1.2294 and 1.2142 on a break.

GBP/USD

Continues to consolidate above 1.4230 low, with scope seen for further short-term strength, though, risk is for the formation of a bearish flag, ahead of relapse. Immediate resistance stands at 1.45/1.46 zone, and only regain of 1.5044/52 area to strengthen the outlook.

EUR/USD

Correction off 1.2142, 19 May yearly low, stalled at 1.2671, just above 50% retracement of 1.3093/1.2142 downleg on Friday, ahead of reversal. Today’s loss of 1.2469/55 supports and break of trendline support, now confirms the lower ceiling at 1.2599 and turns focus to 1.2294 initially. Break here would expose 1.2257 and possible full retracement of the 1.2142/1.2671 ascend, on a break. Upside, regain of 1.2597 provides relief, but sustained break above 1.2671 would resume recovery.

GBP/USD

The pair is potentially in the final phase of a correction off the recent 1.4250 low, posted on 17 May. Scope is now seen for a lower high to form, ahead of fresh weakness. Break below 1.4250/30 support zone, would confirm negative medium-term bias and open way towards 1.3500 zone.

GBP/USD

Upside rejection at 1.4527 seen yesterday, may signal the end of the corrective phase off the recent 1.4230/50 lows. The recent break under 1.4351 support sparks further weakness, currently breaking through 1.4300, to attempt at 1.4230 and lower, to reach fresh yearly lows.
