Posted on December 7, 2016 at 8:39 am GMT

USDJPY hit a 10-month high of 114.82 on December 1 and has since struggled to advance further.

Technical Analysis – EURUSD drops to 20-month low; bearish bias below 1.07

Posted on December 5, 2016 at 9:03 am GMT

EURUSD tumbled to a 20-month low early on Monday to touch 1.0505. Prices consequently bounced higher to retrace most of the morning’s losses but the overall bias is still bearish. After breaking below the key 1.0700 level in mid-November, the market reached oversold territory as RSI fell below 30. This led to a consolidation and the market is now neutral in the near term. Strong resistance now lies at this key level of 1.0700 so any rallies are expected to [..]

Technical Analysis – GBPUSD rally fails to break 1.2700

GBPUSD had a strong bullish run this week to come close to the key 1.2700 level on Thursday but failed to break above it. Momentum is improving as RSI is above 50 and is rising so there is a possibility of further upside to target resistance at 1.2732 upon a sustained break above 1.2700. This resistance level is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the September to October downleg from 1.3400 to 1.2025. If the market holds above this level to [..]
