EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD TA – March 29 2017

EURUSD intra-day analysis

 

EURUSD (1.0816): EURUSD gave up the gains from Monday as price action turned bearish briefly testing 1.0800 support. We can expect to see further continuation to the downside, although the technical support at 1.0765 – 1.0800 is likely to stall the declines in the near term.

There is a possibility that EURUSD could bounce higher on the day with the potential test 1.0863 – 1.8500 where resistance could be established. This would also mark a lower high in price and could signal a near-term decline towards 1.0700. The 4-hour Stochastics is also currently nearing the oversold level indicating a short term retracement in prices.

USDJPY intra-day analysis

USDJPY (111.19): USDJPY closed bullish yesterday after prices fell to a 4-month low at 110.11 on Monday. The rebound could be expected although a near term retracement to 110.75 – 110.65 could be expected. This could also form a higher low in prices and could signal a near-term rally towards the initial resistance level established at 112.00.

A break out above 112.00 will trigger further gains towards 113.80 resistance. To the downside, failure to hold the gains near 110.65 could signal a move towards 110.00 which was not tested earlier on Monday.

GBPUSD intra-day analysis

GBPUSD (1.2414): The British pound posted steady declines since Tuesday after Monday’s rally saw prices testing 1.2600 resistance level. The subsequent lower high near 1.2600 led to a strong pace of declines that saw GBPUSD breaking past the support level at 1.2470 and currently bouncing off 1.2400 support. In the near term, GBPUSD could remain range bound within 1.2470 and 1.2400 with a breakout from these levels likely to establish further gains or declines in the trend.

To the upside, above 1.2470, expect further gains to test 1.2600 followed by 1.2700 which will see prices testing February 2nd highs. To the downside, below 1.2400 expect GBPUSD to slide towards 1.2200 lower support.
