GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

On March 2, a bearish breakdown of the lower limit of the previous daily channel occurred enhancing the bearish side of the market.

Persistence below the zone of 1.4950-1.5000 indicated a further bearish decline towards 1.4700.

Shortly after, the bearish trend was resumed towards the level of 1.4550 where a lower daily bottom was established.

Evident bullish recovery emerged at 1.4560 pushing the GBP/USD pair above the level of 1.4700. Since then, successive higher highs have been established.

As anticipated, the daily closure above 1.5060 (50% Fibonacci level) exposed the next resistance levels at 1.5400 and 1.5450 where extensive bearish pressure was previously applied.

This enhanced the bearish side of the market towards the levels of 1.5300, 1.5250, and 1.5100 where the most recent bullish swing was initiated on May 5.

Note that Intraday Support 1 (price level of 1.5400) is the most prominent support level to be watched for buy entries when the further bearish pullback occurs.

On the other hand, the current price zone of 1.5750-1.5800 is a critical resistance zone to be watched for signs of bearish reversal and a possible sell entry if enough bearish pressure is applied.

USD/CAD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

Since bulls pushed the price further above the upper limit of both depicted bullish channels and the 79.6% Fibonacci level, the market looked quite overbought. That is why the price failed to hold above 1.2650 - 1.2680 (previous highs) resulting in the formation of a Triple-top pattern.

Successive lower highs were established within the depicted consolidation zone enhancing the bearish side of the market.

Support levels around 1.2350 and 1.2300 (79.6% Fibonacci level) were broken after providing significant support for several weeks on the daily and weekly charts.

Daily fixation below 1.2300 cleared the way for the USD/CAD pair towards the levels of 1.2000 and 1.1940 (projection target of the recent range breakout and the depicted weekly uptrend).

That is why we expected these price levels to provide significant bullish rejection. However, bearish breakout should not be excluded this week as signs of successive bearish pressure have already originated on the daily chart (successive lower highs were expressed around the price levels of 1.2290 and 1.2150).

On the other hand, the price zone of 1.2330-1.2350 remains significant intraday resistance for further retesting. This zone is likely to offer a low-risk sell entry while re-testing.

Trading recommendations:

Breakdown of the recent low at 1.1940 invalidates the bullish scenario.

However, as previously suggested, risky traders could have taken a counter-trend buy entry anywhere around 1.1950. S/L should be set as daily closure below 1.1930. T/P is projected at 1.2100, 1.2270, and 1.2320.

On the other hand, conservative traders should wait for a bullish pullback towards the levels of 1.2300-1.2340 for a low-risk sell entry. T/P levels should be placed at 1.2220, 1.2100, and 1.1950 while S/L should be placed above 1.2250.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Significant supply levels located around 1.5300 (weekly 38.2% Fibonacci level) and 1.5500 (weekly 50% Fibonacci level) have been providing a significant supply over the GBP/USD pair for few months.

Evident bullish recovery emerged from the area around 1.4550 where a significant bullish engulfing weekly candlestick was expressed.

As mentioned before, persistence above the levels of 1.5000-1.5080 exposed the weekly supply zone of 1.5500-1.5550 (roughly corresponding to weekly 50% Fibonacci level), where significant bearish pressure was previously applied on February 22.

This week, the market has already pushed above the weekly supply (1.5530) and 1.5720 (FE 100%). That is why the current weekly candle closure should be monitored to determine the next destination of the pair.

Note that persistence above the weekly supply at 1.5530 hinders the long-term bearish trend for sometime.

Sideways movement with slight bearish tendency had been expressed on the daily chart until the bullish breakout took place above 1.4970-1.5000 (via a long-term bullish reversal pattern).

The price zone between 1.5000 and 1.5050 (daily 38.2% and 50% Fibonacci levels) failed to hold. Moreover, it constitutes a prominent demand level for the GBP/USD pair.

It offered a valid buy entry for retesting that took place last week. S/L can advance to 1.5500 to secure some profits now.

As already mentioned, daily closure above the weekly supply zone 1.5500-1.5530 exposed the next supply level located at 1.5720 (100% Fibonacci Expansion of the recent bullish swing).

The price zone of 1.5450-1.5500 constitutes a prominent demand zone to be watched for valid Intraday BUY entries if a bearish pullback occurs soon.

On the other hand, the next supply level to meet the pair is located near the level of 1.5990 (141.4% Fibonacci Expansion of the recent bullish swing) if the current daily persistence above 1.5720 (100% FE) is maintained.

Note that an Intraday SELL entry can be offered near 1.5990 if it got tested in the near future.

Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for EUR/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The market was pushed lower after breaking below the major demand levels around 1.2100 and 1.2000 where historical bottoms were previously established back in July 2012 and June 2010.

The EUR/USD pair lost almost 1,500 pips since the beginning of 2015. Moreover, EUR/USD bears have already pushed the market slightly below the monthly demand level at 1.0550 (established on January 1997).

The previous monthly closure had a negative impact on the EUR/USD pair. However, April's monthly candlestick came as a bullish engulfing candle as depicted on the chart.

In the long term, bearish breakdown of the monthly demand level at 1.0550 should not be excluded as the long-term breakout target is roughly projected towards the level of 0.9450.

In the meanwhile, further bearish decline can be hindered for a few weeks.On the other hand, bullish corrective movement towards 1.1500 and 1.1600 is highly probable now especially if the daily persistence above the level of 1.1250 is maintained for a few days.

The obvious bearish breakout of the weekly demand level at 1.1100 allowed the market to fall dramatically shortly afterwards.

After such a long bearish rally (which started around the levels of 1.1300), bullish rejection was expressed at 1.0570 (monthly demand level).

A bullish continuation pattern with an ascending bottom was established around the level of 1.0650.

This applied a strong bullish pressure to the prominent supply levels at 1.1150 and 1.1240. Thus, bears failed to pause the ongoing bullish momentum of the EUR/USD pair.

As anticipated, daily persistence above the levels of 1.1250 and 1.1350 enhanced the bullish side of the market.

The nearest daily supply level comes to meet the EUR/USD pair around the level of 1.1500 if the currently expressed bullish momentum is maintained above 1.1370 (corresponding to the previous weekly high).

On the other hand, failure to close above 1.1370 indicates further sideways movement without significant bullish advancement.

EUR/NZD: analysis for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Recently, EUR/NZD has been trading sideways around the level of 1.5240. As we expected, the price tested the level of 1.5251 in a high volume. The short-term trend is bullish. Our target at 1.5155 (Fibonacci retracement 50%) has been reached and we can observe the sideways market. According to the daily time frame, demand in a volume just above average. It looks like that major resistance at this stage is around the price of 1.5310 (Fibonacci retracement 50% and strong cluster). If the price breaks the level of 1.5310 (price action resistance), we may see possible testing of the level of 1.5450. Anyway, buying at this stage looks risky since the price is near the critical resistance.

Fibonacci Pivot Points:

Resistance levels:

R1: 1.5260

R2: 1.5320

R3: 1.5410

Support levels:

S1: 1.5075

S2: 1.5020

S3: 1.4930

Trading recommendations: Be careful when buying EUR/NZD at this stage since it is on critical resitance.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USD/JPY is expected to consolidate with risks skewed higher after hitting nine-day low 118.88 on Thursday. It is underpinned by the reduced safe-haven appeal of the yen amid positive risk sentiment (VIX fear gauge eased 7.41% to 12.74; S&P 500 finished up 1.08% at record closing high 2,121.10 overnight) on fewer-than-expected 264,000 US jobless claim in the week ended May 9 (versus forecast 273,000) and signs of stability in bond markets after the recent sell-off as European Central Bank President Draghi reaffirmed his commitment to the massive bond-buying program aimed to stimulate the eurozone's economy. USD/JPY is also supported by the demand from Japan importers and ultra-loose Bank of Japan's monetary policy. But USD/JPY gains are tempered by the Japan export sales and lower US Treasury yields (2-year fell to 0.544% overnight from 0.576%) on surprise 0.4% on-month decline in U.S. April PPI (versus forecast +0.1%); positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is still negative-biased as the MACD and stochastics are in bearish mode, five-day moving average is falling below 15-day moving average.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 120.15 and the second target at 120.50. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 119.05 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 118.75. The pivot point is at 119.35.

Technical analysis of USD/CHF for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Fundamental overview:
USD/CHF is expected to consolidate with risks skewed higher after hitting a weekly low of 0.9073 on Thursday. It is supported by negative Swiss interest rates and the threat of Swiss National Bank CHF-selling intervention. But USD/CHF gains are tempered by the positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is still negative-biased as the MACD and stochastics are in bearish mode.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9240 and the second target at 0.9295. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.9060 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 0.8970. The pivot point is at 0.9140.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Fundamental overview:

NZD/USD is expected to consolidate in lower range after hitting a six-day high of 0.7562 on Thursday. It is undermined by the expectations for interest rate cuts from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in coming months and weak dairy prices. But kiwi sentiment is soothed by strong data on retail sales in New Zealand in Q1. NZD/USD losses are also tempered by the positive risk sentiment, NZD-USD interest differential, and kiwi demand on retreating AUD/NZD cross and positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is mixed as stochastics is rising from oversold levels, but the MACD is still in bearish mode.

Trading recommendations:
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7405. A break of that target will move the pair further downwards to 0.7335. The pivot point stands at 0.7515. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will move above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. According to that scenario, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.7560 and the second target at 0.76.

Resistance levels:

Technical analysis of GBP/JPY for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Fundamental outlook:
GBP/JPY is expected to consolidate with a bullish bias. It is supported by the positive risk sentiment and demand from Japan importers. But GBP/JPY upside is limited by the Japan export sales, sterling sales on buoyant EUR/GBP cross, and position adjustment ahead of the weekend.

Technical comment:
The daily chart is still positive-biased as tha MACD and stochastics are bullish, although latter is at overbought levels, five- and 15-day moving averages are advancing.

Trading recommendations:
The pair trads above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 189.20 and the second target at 189.75. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 186.65 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 186. The pivot point is at 187.3.

Gold : analysis for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

Since our last analysis, gold has been trading downwards. The price tested the level of $1,210.84 in a high volume. We can observe demand in a high volume but weak price action in the daily time frame. The short-term trend is bullish. The first major resistance at the level of $1,220.00 is on the test. If the price breaks the level of $1,220.00 in a high volume and strong price action, we may see possible testing of the level of $1,250.00 (Fibonacci expansion 100%). Be careful when selling and watch for potential buying opportunities above the price of $1,220.00. I found support area around the levels of $1,210.00-$1,214.00.

Daily Fibonacci pivot points:

Resistance levels:

R1: 1,227.65

R2: 1,231.00

R3: 1,237.40

Support levels:

S1: 1,215.50

S2: 1,211.20

S3: 1,205.50

Trading recommendations: Be careful when selling gold at this stage and watch for potential buying opportunities (buy on dips).

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

The daily pivot point of the EUR/USD pair is expected to be set at the level of 1.1360. Also, the weekly support is seen at the same level today. Moreover, the major resistances have been already placed at the levels of 1.1380 and 1.1399. Consequently, the market has still been calling for downward because the price has set below the resistances since yesterday. Accordingly, if the trend fails to close above the level of 1.1399, then it will be a good opportunity to sell below 1.1380 with the first target at 1.1327, then it will be continued in downtrend towards 1.1300 in order to test the double bottom (61.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels). On the other hand, the stop loss should always be taken in account because it should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts. Thereby, the best location to set your stop loss is seen above the level of 1.1420 (the daily resistance sets at 1.1399).

Notes:

We expect a new range about 87 pips at least today.
The key level will set at the level of 1.1366.
Major resistance is set at the level of 1.1399. The support had been already placed at the level of 1.1300.
If there is no significant news to influence, the price will be moving from pivot point to resistance 1 or support 1. But if there is significant news to influence, the market price may go straight through resistance 1 or support 1 and reach resistance 2 or support 2 and even resistance 3 or support 3.

Technical analysis of GBP/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Overview:

Today, · the GBP/USD pair was not stable because the trend rebounded from the level of 1.5814 for that it has been moving between 1.5814 and 1.5725 since yesterday. Accordingly, it is of the foresight to be careful in this area. So, the first step is waiting in this spot before investing. As a result, it will probably be that the GBP/USD pair is going to start showing the signs of bullish market at the level of 1.5725 again. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above the level of 1.5725 with the first target at 1.5786 in order to test the weekly resistance 1. It will call for the uptrend to continue its bullish movement towards 1.5814 to retest the double top in the H1 chart. At the same time, if the pair could not break 1.5814, the market will indicate a bearish opportunity at the spot of 1.5814. This level will act as strong resistance on May 15, 2015. It is providing a clear signal for sell deals with a target at 1.5720. Moreover, if the trend is able to break minor support at the level of 1.5720, the pair will drop towards the major support at 1.5666. On the other hand, the stop loss should be placed above 1.5837.

#USDX technical analysis for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Yesterday, the Dollar index made a short-term reversal to the upside towards 94 but did not manage to move above it. The trend remains bearish in all time frames. Bulls need to step up and push the Dollar index above resistance at 94.20 in order to gain some bullish momentum.

Red line - broken resistance trend line

Now that the H&S target has been met, we saw an upward push in the index yesterday that broke the short-term downward sloping red trend-line resistance. The index is back testing the recent lows but has the potential to stage a bigger bounce towards the resistance at 94.

The weekly chart does not look good. The price is below the kijun-sen and the next support is at 92.30 where the 38% retracement is found. A weekly close above 93.75 is likely to be a positive sign for bulls but only a break above 95.30 will confirm the trend reversal. If the week closes below the kijun-sen (yellow line), there will be increased risk for a drop lower towards 92.30.

Gold technical analysis for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

Gold price made a new short-term high above $1,224 but the upward move did not last. The price is at important weekly resistance levels and it will be hard for bulls to push it higher. Support at $1,212 is important for the short-term trend. I believe we are inside a bearish wedge and the next move Gold price makes will be to the down side towards $1,190.

Red lines = bearish wedge

Blue lines = expected path of Gold price

Gold is above the Ichimoku cloud and has made a higher high relative to the early April high. Support is found at $1,200 and at $1,190. A daily close near $1,230 will be bullish for the next week and a move towards $1,250-60.

On a weekly basis, Gold price is testing the cloud resistance and the kijun-sen indicator resistance (yellow line). Bulls control the short-term trend but will need to show more strength in order to break this resistance area. Important weekly support is found at $1,185.

Technical analysis of EUR/JPY for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

General overview for 15/05/2015 08:50 CET

As anticipated yesterday, the market made a high at the level of 136.41 and then reversed sharply down to the intraday support at the level of 135.29. More downside is expected for this market as long as no new highs are made. The market should break below the level of 135.29 and head lower to test the golden trend-line dynamic support. On the other hand, only a sustained breakout above the local high at the level of 136.41 will be considered bullish and the target for bulls would be at the level of 137.22.

Support/Resistance:

137.22 - WR2

136.41 - Swing High

135.59 - WR1

135.29 - Intraday Support

134.34 - Weekly Pivot

Trading recommendations:

As long as the market trades below the level of 136.41 daytraders would consider opening sell positions only with SL above the level of 136.42 and TP at the level of 135.29. Nevertheless, any break out higher above the level of 136.41 is bullish and daytraders should consider opening buy positions from the level of 136.45, with tight SL (20-30 pips) and TP at the level of 137.22.

General overview for 15/05/2015 08:30 CET

As anticipated yesterday, the market has broken through the level of 1.1978 that was intraday support and the key level for bulls. To continue with the impulsive wave progression, the price should bounce from the support level and head higher to the next resistance at the level of 1.2027. Please notice that higher time frames are indicating a possible wave 4 red bottom, but the confirmation will come with the golden trend-line breakout in an impulsive way.

Support/Resistance:

11918 - Swing Low

1.1964 - WS1

1.1978 - Intraday Support

1.2027 - Intraday Resistance

1.2044 - 1.2059 - Supply Zone

Trading recommendations:

The buy orders should be still kept open and the SL should be moved higher to the level of 1.1977.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

USD/JPY

Unemployment insurance weekly claims: In the week ending May 9, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 264,000, a decrease of 1,000 from the previous week's unrevised level of 265,000. The 4-week moving average was 271,750, a decrease of 7,750 from the previous week's unrevised average of 279,500. This is the lowest level for this average since April 22, 2000 when it was 266,750.

Final demand prices moved up 0.2 percent in March and decreased 0.5 percent in February. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand declined 1.3 percent for the 12 months ended in April.

USD/JPY

USD has been softening in the recent days. In the lot of USD related pairs, the USD is trading higher against JPY. The recent USD rally against JPY, CAD, SGD, and CHF failed the bullish view in the near term. But only this pair has been sustaining in the structural bullish view. As we expected yesterday, before the price inches above 120.30, it is likely to retest 119.60 and 119.40 today. So, we might see the sub-level at 119.00. The pair made a low at 118.89. The real problem for bulls is found at 118.50 100Dema. The pair is likely to make a double bottom at 118.50 and 118.30. At yesterday's session, we initiated buying in case if we see the pair around 119.00. Buying between 119.00 and 118.60 sl 118.50 closing basis or 118.30 intraday. For today's session, we expect strong momentum above 119.70 towards 120.00 and 120.25 initially. In case of a daily close above 120.85, bulls will aim at 122.00. We have been recommending the same target for a while, but not met yet. Buying above 119.70 is advised anyone who joins bulls' party.

Technical analysis of USD/CAD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The USD related pairs have been correcting for more than 2 months. Except for USD/JPY, pairs were trading almost near 200Dsma/200Dema. USD/CHF is an exception on this view. Today, I am would like to discuss technical perspective on the USD/CAD pair. Both these pairs are trading around 200Dsma. We will go through USD/CAD first. The pair gave a break on the downside following 3 months of consolidation. The strong resistance was found at 1.2350 and 1.1875 200Dema and 1.1763 200Dsma on the down side. The chart looks better for USD/CAD compared with USD/SGD. In the daily chart, the pair has been making minor bottom around 1.1940, whereas strong support is found at 1.1875. Intraday resistance is seen between 1.2005 and 1.2028. Strong resistance is seen at 1.2095 rounded to 1.2100. The near-term reversal takes place in case of a closure above 1.2175 100Dema. We expect bottom to be placed between 1.1900 and 1.1875. In case the price takes out 1.1875, it can extend the sharp correction towards 1.1800/1.1760 where we expect a sharp reversal. In the daily chart, we can observe positive divergence. The bottoming process is a very painful process after a sharp fall in the prices.

Intraday- buy above 1.2010 target 1.2030, 1.2050, 1.2080, and 1.2095

We expect the cross to make a nominal top around 1.3725 and 1.3790 before moving further. Bulls are likely to aim at the level of 1.4000 later.

Daily analysis of USDX for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The overall correction in favor of a bearish bias is still alive, because the USDX could find immediate support at the level of 92.64. The Index is likely to reach the 200 SMA on daily chart. In that zone, the USDX could perform a dynamic rebound and rally again until new highs. The MACD indicator is still in negative territory.

The short-term outlook remains bearish, but the support zone of 93.07 is still offering a good bottom for the USDX. That's why we want to see a rebound until the resistance level of 93.85 and a breakout of that zone in order to rally towards the resistance level of 94.70, which is above the 200 SMA on the H1 chart.

Daily chart's resistance levels: 93.95 / 95.00

Dailychart's support levels: 92.64 / 91.41

H1 chart's resistance levels: 93.85 / 94.70

H1 chart's support levels: 93.07 / 92.37

Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 93.07, take profit is at 92.37, and stop loss is at 93.80.

Daily analysis of GBP/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

GBP/USD remains very strong in the current bullish trend on the daily chart. There is a high probability that the pair will reach overbought levels or, better said, extreme zone. We could expect some sideways moves in the coming days because of it, as the GBP/USD pair could start to do strong pullbacks and the bearish side could take advantage.

On the H1chart, the GBP/USD pair found strong resistance at the 1.5794 level in a temporary manner. It's expected to fall until the support zone of 1.5706. For now, the pair is trading higher and counter-trend trades are very risky at this point. So it's better to wait for pattern confirmations if you want to trade in favor of the downside. The breakout of the support level of 1.5706 could take place.

Daily chart's resistance levels: 1.5907 / 1.6060

Dailychart's support levels: 1.5745 / 1.5543

H1 chart's resistance levels: 1.5794 / 1.5882

H1 chart's support levels: 1.5706 / 1.5597

Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place buy (long) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 1.5794, take profit is at 1.5882, and stop loss is at 1.5706.

USOIL: more upside potential Market Analysis Review

AAfter a downtrend throughout January to March 2015, WTI oil was consolidating between 44 and 54 USD a barrel. During that time, WTI formed a triple bottom signaling for a potential reversal to the upside. On April 7, the price broke out above the descending channel confirmed bullish sentiment.

Fibonacci indicator applied to the channel breakout point provided current support levels as well as a potential near-term target. Clearly Fibonacci levels were acting as support. In particular, the price bounced off the S4 (50.24), S2 (55.31) and most recently S1 (58.44). While S1 is holding, buyers should be dominating and WTI might target 0% Fibonacci at R1 (63.50)

Consider buying USOIL near S1 (58.44) targeting the area around R1 (63.50). The most recent support, S1, can be used as a protective stop loss level; although it is better to give a trade some room and place the stop loss slightly lower. A daily close below 58.00 could trigger further correction down, back to the point of the channel breakout – S3 (52.78).

Support: 58.44, 55.31, 52.78

Resistance: 63.50

Technical analysis of EUR/USD for May 15, 2015 Market Analysis Review

The euro managed to hold above a monthly high as the greenback is trading below a 3-motnh low. The euro has been extending the bullish prints for 3 consecutive days as well. This is the second consecutive week when the pair is trading above 20Wsma. Soft data from the US has boosted the recent rally. The long-term picture still favors bears. The divergence between two central banks (ECB and FED) favors bears. The pair has been closing with losses on a weekly basis for five weeks. The nearest resistance is seen at 1.1480 and 1.1535. We expect book-profit action to take place before further rise. Support is found at 1.1300 100Dema and 1.1195 10Dsma. The weekly support is found at 1.1165 20Wsma. In case the pair manages to close above 1.1535, bulls can print at 1.1800 and 1.1965. It's still too early to expect 1.1800.

Intraday view: The nearest resistance is seen at 1.1460 100.0FE in the four-hour chart and 1.1480 161.8 FE in the daily chart. In the four-hour chart, the negative divergence has been developing. We have been recommending buying with mild caution. We expect booking to take place between 1.1500 and 1.1535. Small bullish trade is available today. Risky buying is seen above 1.1460 and safe above 1.1480 with small targets at 1.1500 and 1.1530. In the last case, we expect 1.1550 and 1.1580 but chances are remote. Another bullish leg is likely to be available if the price gets above 1.1535 on a weekly basis. In case of today's closure above 1.1535, we can conclude that another leg towards 1.1800+ is formed. For bears, intraday support is found at 1.1340 and 1.1330. Selling will emerge below these levels for 100 pips correction towards 1.1300, 1.1240, and even 1.1200. At yesterday's session, we expected this week's high to be placed between 1.1450/1.1475. The pair has made a high at 1.1445.

Trade: Selling below 1.1340/1.1330

or selling with sl 1.1420 cmp 1.1404 target 1.1350/1.1340,1.1320, 1.1275, and 1.1250
