EURUSD, GBPUSD and USDJPY TA – April 26 2017

EURUSD intra-day analysis

 

EURUSD (1.0943): EURUSD has cleared the resistance at 1.0863 – 1.0854. This could potentially set the stage for further upside in prices for EURUSD. However, expect to see a possible pull back where the recently breached resistance at 1.0863 – 1.0854 could be tested for support.

As long as this support holds, EURUSD can be seen extending the gains towards 1.1000 at the very minimum. Ahead of the ECB’s meeting due tomorrow, EURUSD could very well trade within a small range ahead of increased volatility into tomorrow’s meeting.

GBPUSD intra-day analysis

GBPUSD (1.2833): GBPUSD has been consolidating within the bullish pennant pattern for the most part of this week. If the current break out from this triangle pattern is to be believed, we can expect to see further upside in store. The gains are likely to be held as support could be formed near 1.2800. As long as the support holds, GBPUSD will be targeting the previous highs of 1.2902 followed by a rally towards 1.3000 and 1.3200.

USDJPY intra-day analysis

USDJPY (111.38): The Japanese yen has been trading softer over the past few days, and the upside is likely to prevail. Expect to see further gains that will push USDJPY to test the upper resistance near 111.56 – 111.65 region.

This could potentially cap the gains to the upside ahead of a modest pullback towards 110.00 where support is most likely to be established. USDJPY could remain trading flat today ahead of tomorrow’s all-important Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting. A break out from 111.00 or 110.00 could signal a continuation in the near term.
