EURUSD Daily Analysis

EURUSD (1.13): EURUSD is bouncing back with prices closing near the 1.13 handle yesterday. However, this is a level of minor resistance which could see prices struggle to break higher, but in the event of a close above 1.130, further upside could be extended towards 1.140, which could be seen if EURUSD attempts to breakout higher from the outer median line. To the downside, 1.120 is a clear support level which could hold prices in the near term.

USDJPY Daily Analysis

USDJPY (111.0): USDJPY price action was muted yesterday, but the bias still remains to the downside. A daily close below 110.67 could see further declines to 109 – 109.5 region. However, on the 4-hour chart, there is a potential bullish flag taking shape, where an upside breakout above 111.31 – 111.50 could extend gains to 112.50 initially followed by a rally to the previous resistance level at 114.7 – 114.35. The bullish bias could be invalidated if USDJPY drops below 110.67 in which case we can expect a test of previous support at 109.
