EURO

Due to the pair failing to close above 1.4620 on the four hour charts, it entered a downside channel that took it back to the 50% correction at 1.4210 - 1.4250 but at the same time price is still within an ascending channel with a key support at 1.4115. Despite us seeing a need for further declines, a rebound from the 1.4210 - 1.4250 to the upside is still possible.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.3945 and the key resistance at 1.4620

The general trend is to the downside as far as 1.5080 remains intact with targets at 1.2340 and 1.2225 We depend on four hour closings due to the volatility in financial markets and the fluctuations on the intraday basis. From here we see that using the stop loss and confirming the breach of resistance and support levels is based on these closings to overcome the turbulence that resulted from the current global economic conditions

Support: 1.4210, 1.4175, 1.4115, 1.4090, 1.4025
Resistance: 1.4250, 1.4285, 1.4315, 1.4380, 1.4485

GBP

After updating our recommendation yesterday, the pair did follow our expectations where we now see trading above the 50 percent correction after rebounding from the 61.8% correction at 1.4950 which wasn't breached on the four hour charts. However, the price currently is above the 100 day MA at 1.5040 where we expect trading for today to remain of high volatility. If trading remains below 1.5170, this could keep the pair to the downside.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.4800 and the key resistance at 1.5460

The general trend is to thw downside as far as 1.9400 remains intact with targets at 1.4435 and 1.4095 We depend on four hour closings due to the volatility in financial markets and the fluctuations on the intraday basis.

Resistance: 1.5140, 1.5170, 1.5215, 1.5245, 1.5345

Recommendation: Sell the pair below 1.5140 with targets at 1.5065 and 1.4960 and stop loss with a four hour close above 1.5230

JPY

The upside wave was initiated as it was supported by the 87.30 level for the past tast where the pair is currently appreciating but up to this moment, it failed to build a solid base above 89.70. The pair might decline in an attempt to gather bullish momentum once again on the short term as it retests the critical level mentioned above.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 86.70 and the key resistance at 90.55

The general trend is to the downside as far as 102.10 remains intact with targets at 84.95 and 82.60 We depend on four hour closings due to the volatility in financial markets and the fluctuations on the intraday basis.

Resistance: 89.05, 89.45, 89.85, 90.15, 90.55

Recommendation: Buy the pair above 88.35 with targets at 89.70 and stop loss with a four hour close below 87.70

CHF

The pair witnessed a sharp decline yesterday as it is being heavily oversold whereas the 1.0570 level was strong enough to result in the pair to lose some of the bearish momentum. Due to the minor support levels, the pair failed to close below the key support in the image and is now trading to the upside.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.0470 and the key resistance at 1.1160

The general trend is to the upside as far as 1.0570 remains intact with targets at 1.2570 and 1.2780 We depend on four hour closings due to the volatility in financial markets and the fluctuations on the intraday basis. From here we see that using the stop loss and confirming the breach of resistance and support levels is based on these closings to overcome the turbulence that resulted from the current global economic conditions

Support: 1.1745, 1.6080, 1.6045, 1.0575, 1.0555
Resistance: 1.0810, 1.0840, 1.0895, 1.0995, 1.1075

CAD

The pair reached the 76.4% as we expected yesterday but was still trading below the key resistance for the descending channel at 1.2110 but still above the 61.8% correction at 1.2050. Technical indicators still show that the pair will be able to breach the resistance to continue inclining but for the time being, monitor the 1.2050 and 1.1980 level where if it didn't close below these levels, it will confirm the incline

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.1845 and the key resistance at 1.2410

The general trend is to the upside as far as 1.1780 remains intact with targets at 1.3305 and 1.3465

Support: 1.2050, 1.1980, 1.1930, 1.1880, 1.1860
Resistance: 1.2110, 1.2150, 1.2225, 1.2260, 1.2310

Recommendation: Buy the pair above 1.2050 with targets at 1.2225 and stop loss with a four hour close below 1.1950
