EURO
The Euro versus the dollar declined sharply yesterday opposing expectations, to breach the key support for the ascending channel at 1.3375 before facing the 38.2% correction and a minor support at 1.3310. This decline can be seen as a correction for the last incline where the uptrend prevails as far as 1.3285 remains intact to help target the 1.3410 level. Momentum indicators show the pair being oversold which may support the upside movements. However, a clear break of the 1.3285 level will change the short term trend to the downside to target 1.3110
The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.3050 and the key resistance at 1.4180.The general trend is to the downside as far as 1.4710 remains intact with targets at 1.2120.
Support: 1.3310, 1.3285, 1.3255, 1.3175, 1.3135
Resistance: 1.3410, 1.3490, 1.3555, 1.3580, 1.3625
Recommendation: According to our analysis, we believe its best to buy the pair above 1.3410 with targets at 1.3555 and stop loss with a four hour close below 1.3310
GBP
After trading was stable above the key resistance at 1.4790, the GBP/USD pair declined significantly to the 38.2% correction at 1.4645 opposing our expectations to continue inclining as far as 1.4835 remains intact. The decline seen was a correction to the upside wave and the pair is now targeting the 61.8% correction at 1.4450 after nearing the key resistance where it is important to monitor the current support at 1.4645 which may determine the intraday trend. A rebound from the previously mentioned level will result in a retest of the 1.4875 level, yet breaching it to the downside will take the pair to the key support at 1.4450

A bullish technical pattern (flag) has been constructed with targets breaching the 1.1370 resistance level to incline and change the intraday trend to the upside targeting 1.1440 and 1.1530 (previously breached support turned resistance.

EURUSD
Comment: Hugging the top of the Ichimoku 'cloud', hovering around the 9-day moving average. The Euro is not overbought and one-month at-the-money implied volatility is lower than it has been since October. Time to start picking up again? A sustained break above last month's high at 1.3739 should see another round of short-covering send it back up towards 1.4400.Strategy: Attempt longs at 1.3355, adding to 1.3400; stop below 1.3250. Add to longs on a sustained break above 1.3800 for 1.4000 and then more.Direction of Trade: ↗
