EURUSD


The Euro maintains negative tone and attempts again through strong 1.3180/70 support zone, higher platform / Friday’s low, after brief recovery rally failed to sustain gains above 1.3200 barrier. Near-term technicals are bearish and favor further extension lower, with 200DMA / daily Ichimoku cloud top at 1.3140 and 1.3100, 50% retracement of 1.2754/1.3450, coming in near-term focus. However, hesitation above the downside targets may be triggered by oversold 4-hour conditions. Immediate resistance lay at 1.3200, round figure and 1.3225, Monday’s high, while more significant recovery requires break above 1.3258/84, Fibonacci barriers 50% / 61.8% retracement.

GBPUSD

Cable regained some strength on a bounce from 1.5461 higher low and approached psychological 1.5600 barrier. Failure to break higher, sees increased downside risk, as the price reversed to 1.5530, where temporary footstep was found at 55DMA. Holding above the latter would keep fresh upside attempts in play, as 4-hour indicators are pointing higher and breaking above their midlines, with regain of 1.5600 and 1.5636 required to confirm higher low and shift focus towards 1.5700/16 barriers. Alternatively, loss of 1.5530 and psychological 1.5500 support, would increase risk of fresh weakness that would bring key short-term support and pivotal point at 1.5420/00 zone in focus.
