EUR/USD Short-Term Weakness, GBP/USD Pushing Higher Towards 1.3000, USD/JPY Bullish!!

EUR/USD Short-term weakness.

EUR/USD is trading lower. Hourly support is given at 1.0852 (27/04/2017 low) then 1.0682 (21/04/2017 base). Stronger support can be found at 1.0494 (22/02/2017 low). Expected to show another leg higher towards 1.10.

In the longer term, the death cross late October indicated a further bearish bias. The pair has broken key support given at 1.0458 (16/03/2015 low). Key resistance holds at 1.1714 (24/08/2015 high). Expected to head towards parity.

GBP/USD Pushing higher towards 1.3000.

GBP/USD is trading mixed. The pair is trading around former hourly resistance given at 1.2966 (30/04/2017 high). Hourly support can be found at 1.2757 (21/04/2017 low). An unlikely break of this support would indicate further weakness. Expected to push higher.

The long-term technical pattern is even more negative since the Brexit vote has paved the way for further decline. Long-term support given at 1.0520 (01/03/85) represents a decent target. Long-term resistance is given at 1.5018 (24/06/2015) and would indicate a long-term reversal in the negative trend. Yet, it is very unlikely at the moment.

USD/JPY Bullish!!

USD/JPY is pushing higher since the pair broke resistance given at 112.20 (31/03/2017 high). Hourly support can be found at 110.88 (26/04/2017 low). Stronger support is located at 108.13 (17/04/2017 low). Other key supports lie at a distant 106.04 (11/11/2016 low). Expected to show continued bullish pressures.

We favor a long-term bearish bias. Support is now given at 96.57 (10/08/2013 low). A gradual rise towards the major resistance at 135.15 (01/02/2002 high) seems absolutely unlikely. Expected to decline further support at 93.79 (13/06/2013 low).
