EURO

The euro's incline against the dollar did not hold strong volume, even with the breach to the major resistance level for the downside wave yet it was set and not embedded within the candle's body which accounts it as a false breakout; heavy selling saturation over Stochastic assures high volatility for today while failure to close above 1.2735 over four-hour basis or hourly closing above 1.2785 will keep the trend to the downside supported by the sideways pattern as the decline will be validated with trading below 1.2410.

The trading range is among the key resistance level at 1.2885 and the key support level at 1.2285.

CHF

After the pair managed to decline yesterday it then indulged in a strong upside wave leading to a breach for a critical resistance level though now its heavily overbought; the level among 1.2150-1.2210 withholds numerous resistance level along side the buying saturation sets the bias to the downside in a correctional wave for as far as trading is above 1.2100 we need to address the pair cautiously, as after the pair set the first downside target it rebounded to the upside; for that the confirmation for the pair is needed with consolidation below the mentioned level while the 1.2210 resistance also remains intact for the pair to continue the correction.
