View Live Chart for the EUR/USD
The EUR/USD has extended its intraday range by a few pips, posting a lower low for the year of 1.3437 before extending up to 1.3484 on the back of stronger than expected local PMI readings. Nevertheless, the pair was unable to sustain its shy gains and trades back in the 1.3460 price zone. The hourly chart shows price steady above its 20 SMA, and indicators mixed in positive territory, without showing a certain direction. In the 4 hours chart daily high converged, with a bearish 20 SMA that limited the upside, while indicators corrected oversold readings but hold in negative territory. As long as below the 1.3500 level, the pair remains exposed to the downside despite the tedious lack of strength.
Support levels: 1.3445 1.3410 1.3380

The USD/JPY finally advanced above 101.60, reaching so far 101.77 and maintaining a strong positive tone despite the shallow advance. The fact that stocks are strongly up, surely supports the rally, with the hourly chart showing a clear upward momentum in the hourly chart as price extends also above its moving averages. In the 4 hours chart indicators also head higher above their midlines, with critical resistance now at 101.95, 200 DMA. A break above this last should fuel the rally, eyeing then 102.35 price zone.
Support levels: 101.60 101.20 101.05
Resistance levels: 101.95 102.35 102.80
