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
GBPUSD raised sharply yesterday and continued in rise from 1.5704 (S2) forming a top at 15882 (R1). If GBPUSD break above that level, we can expect target at 1.5924 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5967 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5798 (S1) will confirm our short positions towards 1.5704 (S2). Deeper fall will be probably be limited at 1.5653 (S3) support.

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).
