EUR/USD Stalling Below 1.1300, GBP/USD Short-Term Bullish, USD/JPY Bearish Pressures Under 110

EUR/USD Stalling below 1.1300

EUR/USD is consolidating below strong resistance given at 1.1300 (09/11/2017 high). Hourly support is given at 1.1110 (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 continued 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 Short-term bullish

GBP/USD keeps on bouncing from hourly support given at 1.2757 (21/04/2017 low). Hourly resistance lies at 1.3046 (18/05/2017 high). Expected to show continued 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 Bearish pressures under 110

USD/JPY is trading lower. The road seems wide open towards strong support located at 108.13 (17/04/2017 low). Hourly resistance is given at 112.13 (24/05/2017 high). Other key supports lie at a distance 106.04 (11/11/2016 low).

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).
