EUR/USD Consolidating above 1.1500.

EUR/USD bullish pressures continue. Hourly resistance given at 1.1489 (12/07/2017 high) has been broken. Hourly support can be found at 1.1313 (05/07/2017 high). Stronger support lies at 1.1076 (18/05/2017 low). Expected to show continued bullish pressures.

In the longer term, the momentum is clearly negative. We favour a continued bearish bias towards parity. Key resistance holds at 1.1714 (24/08/2015 high) while strong support lies at 1.0341 (03/01/2017 low).

GBP/USD Short-term profit-taking.

GBP/USD still holds 1.3000 mark. Hourly resistance is now given at 1.3117 (16/07/2017 high). Support lies at 1.3047 (17/07/2017 low). 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 Continued weakness.

USD/JPY keeps on going lower. Hourly support is given at 111.99 (18/07/2017 low). Stronger support is located at a distance at 108.13 (17/04/2017 low). Expected to show continued bearish 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).
