Technical Analysis

Pair: EURUSD
Resistance: 1.1120, 1.1215, 1.1300
Support:  1.1050, 1.920, 1.0870, 1.0800
Bias: Neutral to Short. EURSUD went up to test the 1.1215 level last week but failed to hold above. The pair has been range bound for a number of weeks now and we expect more of that this week. We may see more downward pressure on the EUR looking towards the bottom of the range if it fails to hold above 1.1050.

Bias: Neutral. GBP has been trading in the range 1.5468 – 1.5690 for a while now. The pair pushed up to test the high of the range at 1.5690 but wasn't able to hold above.We'll look for the price to break and hold above or below the range to get a clear read on the direction for this pair. For now, we'll look to short 1.5690 and go long at 1.5450 levels.
