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

EUR/USD

The Euro held within tight range during the Asian session, holding below 1.3100 barrier, despite 30-pips gap higher weekly opening. Bounce of recent range bottom at 1.3000 was rejected at 1.3125, Fib 61.8% of 1.3200/1.3000 descend, with Friday’s fall and close below 1.3100, keeping the downside vulnerable. Near-term studies are negatively aligned, as the price was unable to clear 20 day EMA. Immediate support lays at 1.3045, Fri/Thu lows and break lower to re-focus psychological 1.3000, key near-term support. Formation of diamond pattern on a daily chart, signals reversal that requires break below 1.3000 and 1.2972, 50% retracement of 1.2744/1.3200 ascend, to be confirmed. Any bounce through 1.3100/25, would improve near-term structure, however, clearance of 1.3200 would bring bulls fully in play.

GBP/USD

Cable ended the week under heavy pressure, with negative fundamentals triggering sharp fall. Losses extended overnight and tested near-term base at 1.5200 zone, signaling further weakness. Immediate target and strong support lays at 1.5175, Fib 61.8% of 1.5032/1.5410 rally / daily Ichimoku cloud base, with negative tone on the lower timeframes and double-top left at 1.5380, last week’s highs, supporting the notion. Bearish 20/55 day EMA’s crossover at 1.5280 zone, keeps the upside limited for now

USD/JPY

The pair flirts with psychological 100.00 barrier again, as strong bounce of last week’s correction low at 95.80, extended close to 100.00. The barrier is strong, as previous attempt here failed and overbought hourly studies suggest hesitation. Indicators on 4h chart, however, see room for test and break above 100.00 barrier, to open next significant barrier at 101.43, Apr 2009 high. Corrective dips should be contained by 99.00/98.50 support zone, to keep near-term bulls intact.

AUD/USD

The pair remains under pressure at the beginning of the weeks, continuing broader weakness, sparked on upside rejection at 1.0581 on 11 Apr. Marginally fresh low at 1.0265 was posted overnight, with near-term bears being firmly in play and price being limited by descending 20 day EMA. As daily studies broke in the negative territory, further weakness towards 1.0224/00, Fib 76.4% of 1.0114/1.0581 / round figure support, could be anticipated. Any corrective action faces solid resistance at 1.0357, last Friday’s high, while penetration through 1.0400 barrier, is requires to ease immediate bear-pressure.

EUR/USD

The remains weak, following yesterday’s fall that cracked 1.3000 support and dipped to 1.2972, where the pair found temporary footstep at 50% retracement of 1.2744/1.3200 rally. With quiet overnight trading, concentrated around 1.3000 handle, near-term focus is shifted towards the downside, as 1 and 4h studies hold negative tone and daily diamond pattern has been completed. Penetration through 1.2972 would look for another significant support zone at 1.2930/20, 200 day MA / Fib 61.8% retracement. The upside is seen capped at 1.3080/1.3100, while clearance of 1.3130 barrier would turn focus towards the upside.

GBP/USD

Cable continues to trade within 1.5200/1.5300 range, as yesterday’s fresh attempt through the near-term base failed. Near-term studies remain negatively aligned and keep 1.5200 in focus, while 1.5286/1.5300 highs are expected to limit the upside attempts. From the other side, larger picture bulls remain in play, as pullback from 1.5410 high, found support at 50% of 1.4830/1.5410 ascend and bull trendline off 1.4830 at 1.5200 zone. Violation of the latter would weaken the daily structure and sideline bulls from 1.4830, in favor of further reversal.

USD/JPY

The pair recovered most of 22/23 Apr reversal, when repeated failure on approach to 100.00 barrier triggered fresh weakness. With dips finding support at 98.50 and fresh strength through 99.00, approaching 100.00 barrier, near-term bulls are fully in play. Yesterday’s price action was briefly interrupted by news that triggered increased volatility, but price quickly returned to its initial direction. Studies on 1 and 4h charts maintain positive tone and keep the upside favored for another attempt at psychological 100.00 barrier, while 99.00 offers initial support and 98.50, reinforced by ascending 55 day EMA, expected to protect the downside.

AUD/USD

The pair remains under pressure, as recovery attempt off yesterday’s fresh low at 1.0220, stayed limited under initial 1.0300 barrier. Downside acceleration, seen overnight and triggered by weaker than expected Australian data, maintain negative sentiment for renewed attempt at 1.0220 and psychological 1.0200 support, ahead of med-term range support at 1.0114, low of 04 Mar 2013.

EUR/USD

The Euro holds above 1.3000 but still directionless, moving within 1.2950/1.3100 range. Slight improvements seen on overnight’s gap-higher opening and upside aligned hourly studies, keep the immediate barrier at 1.3100 in near-term focus. Break above 1.3100, also 4h triangle resistance, would avert the downside risk, in favor of extension towards next barrier at 1.3127, 19 Apr high, to confirm near-term base at 1.2950 and possibly re-open key 1.3200 resistance. Psychological 1.3000 support keeps the near-term price action supported for now, with any penetration lower, to weaken the structure.

GBP/USD

Cable maintains positive tone, as fresh gains through psychological 1.5500 barrier that kept last week’s rally capped, now open way for fresh bulls. Immediate barrier lies at 1.5570, 100 day MA, ahead of 1.5605, 50% retracement of 1.6380/1.4830 downleg. Short-term studies remain positive but overbought that may signal hesitation on approach to the next targets. Previous peak and last Friday’s low at 1.5410/17 zone, offer solid support and should contain corrective dips.

USD/JPY

The pair remains under pressure, as last Friday’s fresh weakness and weekly close below 98.00 handle and overnight’s extension to 97.34, Fib 61.8% of 95.80/99.87 upleg, confirm near-term bears being in play. Corrective rally on oversold hourlies, faces initial resistance s at 98.00/30, with previous low and 50% retracement of 99.74/97.35 at 98.50, reinforced by 20/55 day EMA’s, bearish crossover seen as ideal cap. With near-term structure being negatively aligned, further downside is seen favored after the correction, with 97.20/00 seen as next targets. Conversely, extension above 98.50 would ease bear-pressure, however, regain of 99.00 barrier is required to shift focus higher and re-expose recent highs and psychological 100 barrier.

The pair regained positive tone after upside rejection at 1.0335 and subsequent pullback found support at 1.0260. Fresh strength that surged through 1.0300 barrier overnight and approach of 1.0335/38 double-top, sees scope for extension of near-term recovery rally from 1.0220 low, with clear break above 1.0338 required to confirm and open immediate targets at 1.0357, 19 Apr high / Fib 38.2% of 1.0581/1.0220 fall and 1.0400, 14 Apr high / 50% retracement.

EUR/USD

The Euro extended recovery rally to briefly break above 1.3100 handle, however, gains were limited, as the price action was capped at 1.3115, failing to clear the barrier on repeated attempt. Pullback under 1.3100, could be seen as corrective, while price holds above 1.3050 zone, 50% of 1.2989/1.3115 upleg / 20 day EMA, as 4h indicators maintain positive tone, with higher low seen as good base for possible fresh attempt above 1.3100/15, to possibly open key 1.3200 barrier. From the other side, slide below 1.3050, would risk return to 1.3000 base and keep the near-term range top intact.

GBP/USD

Cable enters corrective mode, following yesterday’s rally through 1.5500 barrier that reached 1.5544 high so far. Daily close slightly below 1.5500 and fresh extension lower that tests 55 day EMA, risks deeper pullback, as hourly studies moved into negative territory. Further easing would face Fibonacci supports at 1.5444 (38.2%) and more significant 1.5410, 50% retracement of 1.5281/1.5544 rally and previous peak, loss of which to sideline near-term bulls.

USD/JPY

Near-term structure remains negative, as recovery rally from 97.34, yesterday’s low, remains capped at Fib 38.2% of 99.49/97.34 fall at 98.19. Hourly studies are weak, with more negative tone seen on 4h chart, where indicators hold in the negative territory and price pressured by 20/55 EMA’s bearish crossover, that keeps the downside favored. Slide below 97.35, also Fib 61.8% of 95.80/99.87 recovery and 97.20, 17 Apr low, to open way for further extension lower, where 96.75, 76.4% / previous peak of 12 Mar, is seen as next target and breakpoint.

Key near-term resistance at 1.0400, 14 Apr high / 50% retracement of 1.0581/1.0220, comes in focus, as break here is required to confirm base at 1.0220 and resume recovery.

EUR/USD

The Euro failed to sustain gains on yesterday’s rally through key 1.3200 barrier, as the price reversed lower after posting fresh high at 1.3240. Gains were capped by 50% retracement of larger 1.3710/1.2744 descend, with reversal below 1.3200 handle, softening near-term structure. The pullback found temporary support at 1.3150, 50% of 1.3053/1.3241 upleg and above trendline support / 61.8% / 20 day EMA at 1.3125. While above the latter, scope exists for fresh attempt at 1.3200, initial resistance and extension higher, as 4h structure is positive and favors further bulls, as a part of larger recovery from 1.2950. Conversely, loss of 1.3125 and psychological 1.3100, also 50% of 1.2950/1.3241, would signal top at 1.3241 and bring bears back to play.

Positive structure on lower timeframes keeps the upside in focus, as clearance of 1.5605 is seen as a trigger for fresh extension of recovery rally from 1.4830.

Alternatively, confirmation of near-term base at 97.00, requires clearance of 55 day EMA at 97.45 and more significant 98.00/25 resistance zone, 30/29 Apr highs / 50% retracement of 99.87/97.00 downleg.

However, break below 98.50, Fib 38.2% of 97.00/99.44 upleg and 55 day EMA, is required to confirm reversal and signal lower top at 99.44.

Break below 98.50, Fib 38.2% of 97.00/99.44 upleg and 55 day EMA, is required to confirm reversal and signal lower top at 99.44.

EUR/USD

The Euro traded in consolidative mode during the Asian session, moving within narrow range and above last Friday’s fresh low at 1.2934 that marks Fib 61.8% of 1.2744/1.3241 recovery rally. The downside pressure persists, as the pair dented 200 day MA and near-term range floor at 1.2950, with weekly close above these supports, but below psychological 1.3000 barrier. Corrective rally above the later, may extend towards strong resistance at 1.2950/60 zone, last Friday’s high / 50% of 1.3193/1.2934 downleg, where rally should be capped. However, sustained break here, would sideline immediate bears and allow for stronger recovery. As near-term indicators hold in the negative territory, fresh weakness is still seen as likely scenario, with violation of 1.2950/34 supports, expected to open 1.2915, daily Ichimoku cloud bottom and psychological 1.2900 support.

Cable extended weakness off 1.5600 barrier and retraced 38.2% of larger 1.4830/1.5603 rally, on last Friday’s fall to 1.5313. Corrective rally on oversold near-term studies, would be short-lived and likely precede fresh weakness, as long as previous breakpoint at 1.5410 and Friday’s high / 50% of 1.5586/1.5313 fall limits the upside. The notion is supported by negative near-term technicals and double-top at 1.5590, as well as brief break below main bull trendline, drawn off 1.4830, 13 Mar low. However, further weakness below 1.5300 handle, needs to break key near-term support at 1.5200, to confirm top at 1.5600 area and signal end of two-months corrective rally.

Last Friday’s extension of larger downtrend and break below parity level, keeps the bears in play and sees scope for further extension, as the pair lost significant support at 1.0114, multi-month range floor. Dips were so far contained at 0.9960, above which, near-term consolidation is under way. With the upside, for now being capped by psychological 1.0000 barrier and 20 day EMA, recovery action should be limited, despite overextended near-term studies. Any stronger bounce, however, would require clearance of strong 1.0220/50 zone, to ease immediate bear pressure, otherwise, fresh weakness towards 0.9900, would be likely scenario.

Improved hourly studies support the notion, however, sustained break above 1.3000 and regain of minimum 1.3050/60 is required to confirm base and trigger fresh recovery.

However, hourly studies are still in descending mode and further easing cannot be ruled out, with loss of 0.9669, 50% retracement of 0.9548/0.9790 upleg, seen as bearish trigger. Otherwise, the upside would remain in play, as 4h studies maintain positive tone.

Res: 0.9736, 0.9770, 0.9790, 0.9841
Sup: 0.9680, 0.9669, 0.9640, 0.9600

EUR/USD

The Euro picks up the pace at the beginning of European session and breaks above two-day congestion under 1.3100 barrier. Prevailing positive tone keeps the upside potential for full retracement of 1.3241/1.2795 descend in play, with interim barriers standing at 1.3136, Fib 76.4% retracement and psychological 1.3200, near 08 May high. Previous top at 1.3075, reinforced by hourly 20 day EMA, offers immediate support, ahead of psychological 1.3000, also 55 day EMA, where any dips should be ideally contained.

Res: 1.3136, 1.3193, 1.3200, 1.3241
Sup: 1.3100, 1.3075, 1.3042, 1.3000

GBP/USD

Cable continues to trend higher, as the latest upleg from 1.5270 higher low, cleared 1.5375/1.5400 hurdles and heads north. Immediate target lies at 1.5462, Fib 76.4% of 1.5603/1.5007 descend and is the lat barrier on the way towards 1.5600 zone, key near-term barrier and beginning of May highs. Near-term studies hold positive tone, however, overbought 1 and 4h reading may delay bulls in favor of corrective pullback. Previous barriers at 1.5400/1.5375, now offer initial supports.

Res: 1.5462, 1.5478, 1.5500, 1.5520
Sup: 1.5400, 1.5375, 1.5330, 1.5300

USD/JPY

The pair fully retraced near-term corrective phase from 98.85 that was capped at 100.40. Renewed weakness below 100.00 psychological support, sees increased downside risk for further extension of pullback from 103.72 high, with Fib 50% of 92.56/103.72 at 98.14, and psychological 98.00 support, seen on a break below 98.85 low. Consolidative phase is under way, with rallies expected to hold below 100.00 barrier and keep bears intact. Only break of 100.40 tops, would signal double-bottom and possible stronger recovery.

Res: 99.50, 99.85, 100.00, 100.40
Sup: 99.00, 98.85, 99.50, 99.14

AUD/USD

The remains under strong pressure, as fresh weakness emerged from the upside rejection at 0.9790, broke below previous low at 0.9527and posted fresh low at 0.9433. Larger bears from 1.0581 remain unobstructed for now and eye the next static support at 0.9382, October 2011 low, with interim support seen at 0.9400. Corrective bounce on oversold near-term studies, do not see much of the upside potential for now, with rallies expected to find solid resistance at 0.9550/0.9600 zone, before bears return to play.

Res: 0.9500, 0.9530, 0.9550, 0.9600

EUR/USD

The Euro remains under pressure, as today’s gap-lower opening triggers fresh weakness that cracked initial supports of 55 day EMA and Fib 38.2% of 1.3052/1.3305 at 1.3180. Negative hourlies favor further downside, with the next support seen at 1.3150, 50% retracement. From the other side, positive tone dominates on 4h studies and sees limited corrective action that is expected to find ground above 1.3100, ahead of fresh bulls, as the pair remain in short-term uptrend off 1.2800 base. Clearance of initial barrier at 1.3230, is required to open last Friday’s high at 1.3284 and key resistance at 1.3305, for resumption of bulls from 1.2800.

Res: 1.3230, 1.3267, 1.3284, 1.3305
Sup: 1.3176, 1.3149, 1.3110, 1.3074

GBP/USD

Cable trades in a near-term corrective mode off last week’s fresh high at 1.5683. Reversal so far dented 1.55 support, where dips were contained by hourly 55 day EMA and 4h 20 day EMA. Break here would trigger stronger pullback towards 1.5425/00, Fib 38.2% of 1.5007/1.5683 / round figure support, possibly to 1.5350, 50% retracement, reinforced by 4h 55 day EMA, as 4h indicators are heading south, off overbought territory. Conversely, bounce through session high at 1.5560, would be initial signal of fresh strength, with regain of 1.5600 handle, required to confirm and re-focus 1.5683 peak / 1.5700, 200 day MA.

Res: 1.5560, 1.5616, 1.5683, 1.5700
Sup: 1.5487, 1.5425, 1.5400, 1.5345

USD/JPY

The pair continues to advance, extending bounce of Friday’s fresh low at 94.97. Overnight’s gap higher opening supports the notion, as the price heads towards initial resistance at 98.85, above which important 99.35, Fib 50% of 103.72/94.97 / 55 day EMA, is expected to come in focus. Hourly studies are positive and favor further upside, however, still negative 4h structure requires break above 99.35, to avert downside risk and open way for stronger recovery.

Res: 98.85, 99.00, 99.35, 100.00
Sup: 98.00, 97.70, 97.55, 97.15

AUD/USD

The pair remains under strong pressure, as price gapped lower nearly 10 pips on Monday’s opening and completed near-term 0.9430/0.9670 corrective phase. Fresh weakness threatens break below very strong support zone at 0.9400/0.9380, low of Oct 2011, loss of which would confirm an end of three-year congestion and spark stronger reversal of longer-term 2008/2011 0.6007/1.1079 rally. Session highs at 0.9456, offer initial resistance, while filling the overnight’s gap on a bounce above 0.9500 barrier would ease immediate bear pressure and allow for further consolidation.

Res: 0.9456, 0.9500, 0.9544, 0.9573
Sup: 0.9383, 0.9350, 0.9300, 0.9275

EUR/USD

The Euro remains firm, following completion of near-term consolidative phase and fresh rally through previous peak at 1.3305 and 25 Feb high at 1.3317. Fresh bulls are looking for test of 1.3341, Fib 61.8% of larger 1.3710/1.2744 descend, next upside target and psychological 1.3400 barrier. However, extended 4h conditions warn of corrective easing, before bulls take control, with good supports standing at 1.3270, Fib 38.2% / hourly 55 day EMA and 1.3230, Fib 61.8% of 1.3176/1.3333 upleg. Only slide below 1.3200 and higher base at 1.3176, would delay bulls, in favor of deeper pullback.

GBP/USD

Cable maintains positive near-term tone, after corrective pullback found support at 1.5500 zone. Fresh strength approaches strong resistance zone at 1.5683, 06 June high and 1.5700, 200 day MA, clearance of which is seen as a trigger for resumption of larger uptrend that commenced from 1.5000 base and could extend to 1.5774, Fib 100% expansion. Near-term technicals are positive an support further advance, however, possible hesitation ahead of 1.5700 barrier, cannot be ruled out, as 4h indicators are entering overbought territory. Previous consolidation to at 1.5600, offers initial support, while any stronger pullback should be contained above 1.55 area, to keep bulls intact.

USD/JPY

The pair trades in a near-term corrective mode, followed to yesterday’s sharp fall that nearly fully retraced 94.97 / 99.27 rally on a slide to 95.58. The rally is seen as corrective, as near-term studies remain negative, with significant resistance at 97.42, 50% of 99.27/95.58 fall, reinforced by 55 day EMA, coming in focus. Lack of momentum sees risk of recovery stall and fresh weakness, for test of series of important supports, 95.58, 95.39, daily cloud base and key 94.97, break of which to resume bears off 103.72 peak. On the upside, key near-term barrier lies at 99.27 and only break here would improve short-term structure and allow for stronger corrective action.

The pair extends correction off yesterday’s fresh 3-years low at 0.9324, as recovery accelerated on regain of important 0.9500 barrier, 50% retracement of 0.9673/0.9324 fall. Monday’s gap has been filled that sees potential for further recovery. Positive hourly studies support the notion. However, larger picture bears remain in play, with significant barriers at 0.9672. 06 Jun high and 0.9790, 03 Jun high, break of which to signal stronger corrective action and sideline bears. Otherwise, scenario of lower top and fresh weakness would be likely, as the price cracked important, multi-year congestion floor at 0.9400/0.9380.

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

EUR/USD

The Euro continues to trend higher and hits levels close to 1.3400 barrier, on fresh acceleration at European opening. Bulls remain unobstructed and clearance of the latter to open next target and double Fibonacci level at 1.3482/88, 76.4% retracement of 1.3710/1.2744 descend and 138.2% expansion of the upleg from 1.2795. Corrective pullback may interrupt the rally, as near-term indicators are entering overbought zone, with immediate support at 1.3340, 23.6% of 1.3176/1.3389 / 20 day EMA and more significant 1.3305, previous high of 06 Jun / 55 day EMA, while violation of yesterday’s low at 1.3264, near 50% retracement, would signal deeper reversal and put bulls on hold.

GBP/USD

Cable maintains positive near-term tone, with price action being congested at psychological / 200 day MA 1.5700 barrier. Hourly studies are losing traction, while bearish MACD/RSI divergence on 4h chart increases risk of pause in recent rally, in favor of further consolidative/corrective action towards initial support at 1.5632, yesterday’s low / 55 day EMA and 1.5620, Fib 38.2% of 1.5493/1.5700, where dips should be ideally contained. Otherwise, penetration through 1.5600, 50% retracement, would signal stronger correction towards key near term support and higher platform at 1.5500.

USD/JPY

The pair remains under strong pressure, as fresh bearish acceleration was triggered on yesterday’s upside rejection at 97.00. The price surged through Ichimoku cloud base at 95.39 and previous low at 94.97 and also broke below 94.00 support, in a free-fall towards the next significant support and near-term targets at 92.56, 02 Apr low. Daily close below the cloud base is to confirm bearish structure, as studies on lower and larger timeframes are negative. Minor corrective rallies may interrupt bears, as studies are entering oversold territory, with previous lows at 95.00 zone, offering initial resistance.

AUD/USD

Near-term correction off fresh 3-years low at 0.9324, was capped at 0.9562 and fresh slide to 0.9430, weakened hourly structure. The pair remains in a near-term corrective mode, but lack strength for more significant recovery, as technical of the larger timeframes are negative and 4h 55 day EMA limits the upside for now. As overall bears remain in play, downside risk will persist as long as important barriers at 0.9672 and 0.9790 stay intact. Only break above the latter would sideline bears and allow for stronger correction.
