EUR/USD Consolidating around 1.0800 within bullish trend.
EUR/USD keeps on pushing higher, even though the pair is now pausing around 1.0800. A break of the upside channel would signal persistent buying pressures. Key resistance is given at a distance 1.0874 (08/12/2017 high). Strong support can be found at 1.0493 (22/02/2017 low). The technical structure suggests deeper increase towards resistance at 1.0874.
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 Continued increase.
GBP/USD has broken bearish downtrend channel. The pair has broken resistance at 1.2429 and there are rooms for further strength. Hourly resistance is located at 1.2570 (24/02/2017 high). Hourly support is given at 1.2324 (03/17/2017 low).
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 Ready for another leg lower.
USD/JPY has failed to break key resistance given at 115.62 (19/01/2016 high) confirming persistent selling pressures. The pair has broken strong support at 111.36 (28/11/2016 low). Hourly resistance can be located at 113.57 (16/03/2017 high).
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).
