EUR/USD: Technical Analysis
The trading is carried on in the range 1.2870/60 - 1.2730/10 and attempts to go beyond this range are not successful at the moment. The trading is currently making a new attempt to fix above 1.2870 and is carried on at 1.2880/85. Indicators show growth, so the price has chances to make it. If it happens, level 1.3010/20 will be tested, but again, as mentioned in the previous comment, we shouldn’t expect any change of moods here, because even if the price raises to 1.3020, there’s still quite a possibility for a descending. Only when resistance 1.3090-1.3110 breakout happens, we can assume that the trading goes back to the uptrend with a future price growth to the new local maximums, initially to target 1.3380. The alternative for the “bullish” scenario is the same - a fall below 1.2730/00 will trigger support levels 1.2620/30 and 1.2540 tests and indicate a renewal of a medium-term downtrend.
EUR/JPY: Technical Analysis
This pair is in a sideways range which probably corresponds to an Elliot wave 4 of sub-minute degree. It is currently rising and will probably reach the end of the preceding 4th wave at around 110.85 before rolling over. We may be in a move which reaches that target now.
USD/CAD: Technical Analysis
This pair is in the process of correcting the previous rally which began on the 5th August. Prices have found support at 1.0280. There is a small chance they could drop a little further to 1.0255. After that, however, they should rally back up to the 1.0370s where they will meet resistance from a band of MAs including the 50 and 200.
GBP/USD: Technical Analysis
Attempt to break the range 1.5540-1.5470/80 failed, the price found support 1.5495/1.5500, which is matching with uptrend channel line (blue lines) and continued to grow. The trading has currently raised to 1.5660/70. The question is, whether the “bulls” are able to break resistance 1.5710/1.5670/80, which would open the way upwards to the key level for the uptrend – level 1.5820. Before it happens, there is still a possibility for a scenario, mentioned earlier – level 1.5820 and an uptrend resistance line breakout (blue lines) will indicate the “bullish” moods, a fall down below 1.5470 – the “bearish”. A sideways movement is, by the way, more likely for the nearest time.
USD/JPY: Technical Analysis
The pair has breached support 85.30/45, mentioned earlier as a decisive for the future downward movement, and currently resides at 85.25/15. The main support is now 85.00, and its breakout is seen as the key event for the price fall to minimums 84.80/70 and to the new local minimums around 84.50/00. Indicators are hesitating, but they are still inclined to the possibility of this breach and a continuing downward movement. The alternative scenario – a return to growth - will be obvious only if the price escapes from a downtrend channel (red lines). In other words, if the trend line is breached, and the price raises above resistance 86.10 30 and the price will continue its growth.
