Current level-1.5509

EUR/USD is in an uptrend from recent bottom at 1.5301, that was the final of the prolonged consolidation since 1.5909 (17 March 2008). Technical indicators are slowly rising and trading is situated between the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.5677 and 1.5181.
   
 
With yesterday's high at 1.5629 obviously the consolidation since 1.5519 (30 July) was completed and now the downtrend has been renewed towards 1.5461. Crucial on the upside is 1.5629. Market participants will expect Fed's decision and FOMC's statement later today at 14:15 NYT.
Today's strategy: Stand aside.

Current level - 107.72

The pair has  finalized its corrective uptrend from 95.75 mid-term bottom  with the recent top at 108.59.  Trading is situated below the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 105.81 and 107.25.  


Obviously 108.44 is a tough resistance level and we rather prefer the idea, that the pair is entering a larger corrective phase below 108.44 and above 106.06. Yesterday's spike-high has reached precisely our target at 108.37, thus setting a local top at that level, finalizing the rise from 106.59 (25 July). Now a minor downtrend is on the run, targeting 106.61 with an intraday resistance, projected at 108.14.


Today's strategy: Stand aside.
