e

The EUR/USD trades a few pips above its weekly opening having been trading in a quite limited range so far today. With a daily high at 1.2713, the hourly chart presents a very limited positive tone, with price hovering around a bullish 20 SMA but indicators steady in neutral territory. In the 4 hours chart 20 SMA offered intraday support at 1.2665 while indicators lose upward potential above their midlines, showing the lack of interest, either side of the board in the pair at this point. With a hurdle of US data in less than an hour, levels to watch are 1.2650/60 to the downside and 1.2710 to the upside, as some follow through either side of such range is required to confirm some further directional strength.

Support levels: 1.2655 1.2620 1.2580 

Resistance levels: 1.2710 1.2750 1.2790

The GBP/USD advances slowly this Monday, approaching 1.6125 static resistance level, that already contained advances earlier on the day. The 1 hour chart shows 20 SMA containing the downside, flat around 1.6070, while indicators show little aims to move in neutral territory. In the 4 hours chart indicators gain bullish slope above their midlines, while price extends above its 20 SMA, supporting some further gains for the day: a break above the level should lead to an advance up to 1.6160, a daily descendant trend line coming from 1.7090.

Support levels: 1.6070 1.6030 1.5995

Resistance levels: 1.6125 1.6160 1.6200

The USD/JPY trades slightly lower alongside with stocks, with indexes in the US pointing for a strong slide and European ones accelerating south. Technically, the 1 hour chart shows indicators heading south below their midlines, while 100 SMA maintains a strong bullish slope in the 107.50/60 area, acting as immediate support. In the 4 hours chart indicators turned south but remain above their midlines, while price struggles with both 100 and 200 SMAs around current price, giving no much directional clues. 

Support levels: 107.55 107.10 106.70

Resistance levels: 108.15 108.50 108.90

The AUD/USD trades uneventfully between 0.8770 and 0.8820 as usual, having tested the upper band of the range several times since the day started, yet still unable to break trough. The 1 hour chart shows indicators turning lower but in neutral territory, while 20 SMA lost its bullish slope, now flat around 0.8800. In the 4 hours chart the picture remains neutral and if something, falling stocks won’t help the pair break through the critical resistance.

Support levels: 0.8770 0.8730 0.8690 

Resistance levels: 0.8820 0.8860 0.8900
