EUR/USD Technical Analysis

The euro continues to see trouble just above, and ultimately, as the market’s rallying continues to bring in selling pressure. The 50-day EMA is sitting above and is offering a significant amount of resistance. The downtrend line, of course, comes back into the picture. All things being equal, this is a market that I think continues to be noisy, and I do think it continues to favor the US dollar over the longer term, as the US dollar is starting to see a lot of inflows and there are a lot of concerns about the overall global economy. All things being equal, the 1.14 level underneath is, I think, your target. It is not until we break above the 1.17 level that we start to look at the possibility of a continuation of the previous uptrend.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis

The British pound initially tried to rally during the trading session on Tuesday as well, but then gave back gains and showed a potential shooting star, and therefore, I think we have a real possibility of a drop from here to reach down to the 1.130 level. The 50-day EMA looks as if it is going to cross below the 200-day EMA, kicking off the so-called death cross. The 1.32 level above is significant resistance and 1.30 underneath is support, so we are in a range, but this could, and I believe is going to be, a continuation pattern. So we will just have to see how long it takes for the market to make its next move.
