Intraday Analysis: EURUSD moved upwards and formed a high at 1.2980 this morning. The upward moved started from 13th of January and since then the EUR picked up and has successfully penetrated upwards the downtrend trend line. We expect the price to reach 1.3050 (R1) and then to bounce back for a correction.

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD has successfully broke above yesterday resistance and now it seems that is heading towards 1.5572 (R1). Fail to reach that level then we expect the price to retest 1.5410 (S1) and then further decline will limited to 1.5344 (S2). On the intraday, the pair is moving upwards – uptrend valid trend line and both of our Moving Averages are bullish. The bearish are under pressure as a lot of stop losses have been hit yesterday as we are in a strong upward momentum at the moment.

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY made a sharp move yesterday (60 pips) and formed a top at 77.33 (R1) a strong resistance level. A break above that level we expect the price to retest 77.56 (R2). At the moment, the price it seems that is still moving downwards and it is possible to retest our support levels at 76.80 (S1) and 76.59 (S2) a strong technical and psychological level. It is very important to see a move above our first resistance or our first support to get a clearer picture of the trend. In the long run a break below 76.59 (S2) will confirm the downtrend – No position.

Australia’s dollar fetched $1.0463 from $1.0484 on Jan. 20. It earlier rose as high as $1.0494, its strongest level since Nov. 1. The overall positive mood which enveloped global equity markets last week helped support the Aussie AUD at the open, price is off slightly following a slight fall in the Australian producer price index (QoQ) at 0.3% from a 0.5% consensus.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The EURUSD continued to rise the whole week from 1.2624 (S4) and formed a high at 1.2987 (R2). The pair seems to be forming a correction downwards, towards 1.2878 and there are also possibilities to retest our first support level at 1.2838 (S1). Look for a long position near the support levels, targeting 1.2987 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

GBPUSD broke above 1.5500 (S1) level and formed a top at 1.5579 (R1). It now seems to be heading towards the same resistance level. A break above that level would suggest a target of 1.5614 (R2) and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.5639 (R3). On the downside, if the price rebounds from the current resistance level we can expect retesting at 1.5500 (S1), a technical and psychological level. A further fall will then bring focus to the next support level at 1.5448 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

USDJPY after a short consolidation, continue to rise from Friday’s support level of 76.55(S2) and has reached a high at 77.32 (R1) so far. If we switch to an H4 timeframe, we can see that the pair is going through another consolidation and if the pair manages to hold above 76.55 (S2) we can expect a further rise towards our first resistance level at 77.32 (R1) and a sustained rise will then approach 77.56 (R2). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 77.32 ( R1) we can expect the price to move downwards and retest the second support level at 76.55 (S2) and a deeper decline could be then supported at 76.05 (S3).

Intraday Analysis: After the pair formed a bottom at 1.2930 –Fibonacci 23.6%, the EURUSD was able to break above yesterday’s resistance at 1.3050 (S1) and we now expect the price to find a strong resistance around 1.3150 – September low. A break above the 1.3150 level would suggest a target of 1.3204 (R1). On the other hand if the price fails to break above 1.3150, we can expect the pair to retest 1.3050 (S1). If we consider that the price is forming a top at the current level or the top is around 1.3150 then we should expect a correction downwards and then the continuation of the uptrend.

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD is forming higher bottoms and is now moving towards 1.5680 (R1) to retest that level again, as it is considered a technical and psychological resistance level for the bears. A break above that level will concentrate our focus at 1.5715 (R2). On the downside, if the price declines below 1.5627 (S1) we can expect the price to retest 1.5552 (S2) and then to bounce upwards for a continuation of the uptrend (intraday).

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY made a sharp move upwards and formed a top at 78.28 (R1) and then fell and was supported at 77.53. It now seems that it is going to retest our first support level at 77.34 (S1). If it breaks below that level, we can expect the price to retest our second support at 76.54 (S2). As we mentioned in yesterday’s analysis, a break above 77.28 (R1) brings the possibility of a trend reversal into play. As long as the pair remains below that level, the price remains trapped in a trading range on the daily timeframe and a downtrend on the weekly.

Intraday Analysis: The EURUSD formed a top at 1.3185 (R1) and as mentioned in yesterday’s analysis we expect the price to make a correction downwards and then to continue its upward move. We expect the price to test 1.3050 (S1) a strong technical support level for the intraday, and then to bounce upwards towards 1.3185 (R1). A break above the 1.3185 level would suggest a target of 1.3218 (R2). Look for long positions around our support levels targeting 1.3218 (R2).

Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD made a high at 1.5735 (R1) as it continued its move upwards (since January 13th). We expect the price to retest 1.5621 (S1) and then to bounce upwards towards our first resistance level of 1.5735 (R1). A break above that level will concentrate our focus on 1.5775 (R2) a technical and psychological level as it has been retested 3 times in the past (November and December of 2011) and is considered a strong resistance level.

Intraday Analysis: USDJPY made a sharp move downwards this morning and confirmed our recommendations for short positions and also for a continuation of the downtrend. We except the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure at the moment and it seems to be heading towards 76.54 (S2) and 76.06 (S3). A proper confirmation for the short positions will be when the price manages to break below the first support level of 76.87 (S1). A stop loss should be placed above 77.85(R1).

A break below that level would suggest a target of 1.5552 (S2) and a further decline will then focus on the next target at 1.5515 (S3). On the upside, if the price rebounds from the first support level we can expect retesting of 1.5741 (R1), a technical and psychological level. A further rise will then bring focus to the next resistance level at 1.5775 (R2). Look for short positions with a stop loss above 1.5741 (R1) as we expect the pair to move downwards.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD made a high at 1.3218 just a few pips away from the year high and our first resistance 1.3234 (R1) as it continued its move upwards (since January 13th). Going above the nearest resistance level at 1.3234 (R1) would confirm continuation of the bullish trend, towards the next objective upwards 1.3267 (R1). And if the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3332 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3234 (R1) then we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3133 (S1) and a further fall will be limited to 1.3075 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The USDJPY still trapped in range area of 76.42 – 76.01. A break in either direction will determine the trading bias in today’s session. Break below 76.01 will confirm our short positions targeting 75.53 (S2) and further fall will be limited at 75.03 (S3). On the other hand, a break above the first resistance level 76.42 (R1) will expect t the price to retest 76.79 (R2). In a longer time frame the pair is in a downtrend and both of our Moving Averages are bearish therefore wait for a break below 76.01 (S1) and then open a short position targeting second support level. A stop loss should be placed above 76.79 (R2).
