Short Term Technical Analysis for Majors

[WindsorBrokers]

EUR/USD

Continues to trade within broader 1.3433/1.3816 consolidative range. The latest strong sell-off from 1.3816 found support at 1.3462 yesterday, just above 1.3433 range bottom, ahead of current recovery phase. This has so far stalled at 1.3568, with market attempting to leave a lower top, for fresh push higher. However, regain of 1.3639 is needed to resume short-term recovery, otherwise, attack at 1.3433 and possibly lower would be likely scenario.

Res: 1.3568, 1.3586, 1.3600, 1.3625
Sup: 1.3474, 1.3462, 1.3433, 1.3423




GBP/USD

Fresh strength emerges from 1.4971, today’s low, after recovery attempt off yesterday’s 1.4930 low failed at 1.5111. Break through 1.5111/60 is required to resume near term bears and open 1.5200/50 zone next. Early upside rejection, however, brings 1.4930, then 1.4871 and possibly 1.4780 levels back in focus.


Res: 1.5111, 1.5160, 1.5206, 1.5224
Sup: 1.4971, 1.4930, 1.4871, 1.4780




USD/JPY

Remains locked in 89.74/91.08 consolidation range, with positive bias seen in play while 89.74 support holds. However, sustained break above 90.79/91.08 is needed to resume short-term recovery and focus 92.13 next. Loss of 89.74 would weaken the structure and risk test of 88.13 instead.

Res: 90.37, 90.79, 91.08, 91.22
Sup: 90.12, 89.74, 89.62, 89.45





USD/CHF

Short-term trading remains entrenched within a corrective channel off 1.0887, 02 Mar lower high, while triangular consolidation from 1.0505, 17 Mar low may precede a further push lower through 1.0505/1.04497, strong support area. Only break above 1.0660/76 would ease immediate downside risk and pivot market higher.


Res: 1.0645, 1.0660, 1.0676, 1.0697
Sup: 1.0530, 1.0505, 1.0497, 1.0424

EUR/USD

Latest sell-off from 1.3816 has finally broke below 1.3433, past four weeks range bottom, to open way for fresh weakness. Next targets stand at 1.3423 and 1.3339, May 2009 lows. Correction on oversold hourly studies is likely, with 1.3568 expected to cap.

Sup: 1.3423, 1.3339, 1.3245, 1.3190




GBP/USD

Positive structure off 1.4930, 22 Mar low, suggests a final leg higher before the formation of a lower high and a possible retest of 1.4780 yearly low. Regain of 1.5207, 61.8% retracement of 1.5380/1.4930 decline, however would open fresh strength.

USD/JPY

Fresh strength off 89.82, 22 Mar higher low, has cleared 90.76/79 resistances, to dent 91.08 key level. Clear break here would trigger upside extension towards 92.13, 19 Feb high, next. Only reversal under 89.74 would weaken current structure.

USD/CHF

Triangular consolidation from 1.0505, 17 Mar low broke above key resistance, with 1.0700 being reached so far. Near-term structure remains positive and potential break above 1.0729, 11 Mar high to spark a recovery to 1.0805/10 next. 1.0637/09 now offers initial support.

EUR/USD

Today’s break below 1.3433, range bottom, triggered market lower to reach fresh yearly lows. 1.3339, 8 May 2009 low has also been cleared way for test of 1.3190, 30 Apr 2009 low. 1.3462, former support, now reverted to resistance, expected to cap, to hold immediate bears in play.

GBP/USD

Negative tone now dominates after 1.5111 confirmed as lower top. Today’s break under 1.4930, key near-term support, triggered fresh weakness to test 1.4871, 10 Mar low. This sees potential for final attempt at 1.4780, break of which may signal a significant decline in a near future. Regain of 1.5086/1.5111, however, would ease bear pressure.

Downside, 91.08/90.79 area offers initial support, while only loss of 89.74 would damage current structure.
