EUR/USD Sideways Price Action, GBP/USD Weakening Towards Support At 1.2757, USD/JPY Weakening.

EUR/USD Sideways price action.

EUR/USD is consolidating lower below strong resistance at 1.1300 (09/11/2017 high). Hourly support given at 1.1162 (22/05/2017 low) has been broken. Stronger support lies at 1.0842 11/05/2017 low) and key support is given at 1.0494 (22/02/2017 low). Expected to show renewed bullish pressures.

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 Weakening towards support at 1.2757.

GBP/USD is pushing lower. Hourly resistance lies at 1.3048 (18/05/2017 high). Hourly support given at 1.2831 (04/05/2017 low) has been broken. The pair is heading towards stronger support at 1.2757 (21/04/2017 low). A break of this last support would indicate further weakness. Expected to show renewed bullish pressures.

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 Weakening.

USD/JPY has exited the symmetrical triangle and keeps pushing lower. Hourly support is given at 110.24 (18/05/2017 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). The road is wide-open for further decline.

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).
