The EUR/USD is trading flat on Friday, consolidating barely above 1.2250 on a quiet day in the forex market. Price action is likely to remain limited on Friday, ahead of holidays and with no economic data from the US.
Technical indicators are also flat showing no clear signals for the coming hours. The upside remain capped by 1.2300; a consolidation on top could give momentum to the euro, but as it approached 1.2330 - 1.2350 expect some sellers to show up. If it consolidates above 1.2350 it would have surpassed an important short term resistance. The long term trend points to the downside and the pair continues to test 2014 lows. A break below 1.2240, could create some volatility and pushed the EUR/USD toward 1.2200.
Support levels: 1.2240 1.2200 1.2150
Resistance levels: 1.2300 1.2330 1.2350

As the EUR/USD, the GBP/USD also remains quiet, currently trading at the same level it close yesterday. The pair dropped during the European session but managed to erase losses and holds a bullish tone ahead of Wall Street opening bell, but the upside remains capped by 1.5680. A break higher is likely to pushed the pair further to the upside, but no majors movements are expected, unless something rocks financial markets. Above 1.5680, the pair is likely to climb on top of 1.5700, but above here the rally might become unstable and could lose momentum around 1.5735/40.
If the pound fails to rise above 1.5680 it could made another attempt to the downside, but there is a strong support at 1.5600 - 1.5590; that would need a strong US dollar to break it. A rebound around 1.5590 is likely to occur; if the pair consolidates below 1.5585, 2014 lows would be exposed.
Support levels: 1.5615 1.5590 1.5540
Resistance levels: 1.5680 1.5735 1.5770

On the upside, above 119.50 the rally could extend to 119.80/60 where the upper limit of the hourly channel is located; above, 120.00 is likely to cap the rally.
