EURUSD

Near-term price action comes under pressure again, after corrective attempts off yesterday’s fresh one-month low at 1.0519, stalled at 1.06 zone, where solid resistance has established. Renewed weakness shifts focus towards 1.0519 and psychological 1.05 support, with key target at 1.0461, 13 Mar low, seen in extension. Completion of 1.0461/1.1050 corrective phase, to extend bear-leg that commenced off 1.1034/50 double-top, with parity level being in short-term focus. Yesterday’s long-legged daily candle, suggests hesitation on approach to key supports, however, daily close in red and bearish setup of daily studies, keeps the downside under pressure. Hourly 20EMA offers initial resistance at 1.0565, also 4-hour Tenkan-sen line, ahead of strong 1.0600/15 zone, which is expected to cap. Extended corrective attempts should be ideally limited under former low at 1.0711, also Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 1.1034/1.0519 downleg.

Cable trades in near-term consolidative phase above fresh low at 1.4563, as bears hesitate after completing 1.4633/1.5160 corrective phase.
