EUR/USD Breaking Resistance Given At 1.0874, GBP/USD Edging Higher, USD/JPY Ready For Further Weakness.

EUR/USD Breaking resistance given at 1.0874.

EUR/USD keeps on pushing higher towards key resistance given at 1.0874 (08/12/2017 high) has been broken. Strong support can be found at 1.0493 (22/02/2017 low). Expected to show continued increase.

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 Edging higher.

GBP/USD now lies in a short-term uptrend channel. There are rooms for further strength. Hourly resistance located at 1.2570 (24/02/2017 high) has been broken. Hourly support is given at 1.2324 (03/17/2017 low). Expected to show continued strength towards resistance at 1.2771 (05/10/2016 high).

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 further weakness.

USD/JPY continues its declined since the pair has failed to break key resistance given at 115.62 (19/01/2016 high). The pair is heading lower. 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).
