Dollar is slowly advancing against most rivals, as corrections have finally started following last week selloff.

The EUR/USD hourly chart shows price below 20 SMA with indicators standing in negative territory, still under sellers’ control. In the 4 hours chart the bearish potential increases with indicators heading lower and price right below 20 SMA, with 1.3000 now in focus, as long as below 1.3080 static resistance zone

The 4 hours chart shows indicators still in positive territory yet lacking momentum, and 20 SMA offering dynamic support at current levels.

The USD/JPY holds in its 78.40/80 comfort zone, with not much technical clues coming from the hourly chart, mostly consolidating recent comeback from 77.12 lows. While indicators remain in neutral territory in the hourly chart, price is developing above 100 and 200 SMA’s which keeps the upside favored; in the 4 hours chart indicators turned flat near overbought levels, far from suggesting a slide. Renewed upward strength may be seen with a break above 79.10, quite unlikely for the short term.
Support levels: 78.40 78.10 77.90
Resistance levels: 78.80 79.10 79.35
