On the other hand, if the price does not manage to hold above 1.5884 we can expect the price to move downwards and retest the first support level at 1.5860 (S1) a technical and psychological level for the bulls.

It seems the pair is moving downwards and it will retest the first support 1.3026 (S1) soon. A break below that level would suggest a target of 1.2986 (S2) and a further decline will then focus on the next target at 1.2947 (S3). On the upside, if the price rebounds from the first support level 1.3026 (S1) we can expect retesting of 1.3167 (R1).

On the other hand, if price manages to stay above 1.5749 (S1) then we expect the price to retest 1.5831 (R1) and then further rise to 1.5860 (R2).

Going above the nearest resistance level at 1.3234 (R1) would confirm continuation of the bullish trend, towards the next objective upwards 1.3267 (R1). And if the price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3332 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3234 (R1) then we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3133 (S1) and a further fall will be limited to 1.3075 (S2).

If GBPUSD break above that level, we can expect target at 1.5924 (R2). Further rise will then focus on 1.5967 (R3). On the downside, decline below current support level 1.5798 (S1) will confirm our short positions towards 1.5704 (S2). Deeper fall will be probably be limited at 1.5653 (S3) support.

A break in either direction will determine the trading bias in today’s session. Break below 76.01 will confirm our short positions targeting 75.53 (S2) and further fall will be limited at 75.03 (S3). On the other hand, a break above the first resistance level 76.42 (R1) will expect t the price to retest 76.79 (R2). In a longer time frame the pair is in a downtrend and both of our Moving Averages are bearish therefore wait for a break below 76.01 (S1) and then open a short position targeting second support level. A stop loss should be placed above 76.79 (R2). Source: FX Central Clearing Ltd, (http://www.fxcc.com) URL: https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/02022012

After falling below 76.50 and reaching a 3-month low at 76.20, USD/JPY was unable to bounce above the 76.30 level and has been trading trapped in a tight range between 76.25 and 76.30.

We except the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure at the moment and it seems to be heading towards 76.54 (S2) and 76.06 (S3). A proper confirmation for the short positions will be when the price manages to break below the first support level of 76.87 (S1). A stop loss should be placed above 77.85(R1).

A break above the 1.3150 level would suggest a target of 1.3204 (R1). On the other hand if the price fails to break above 1.3150, we can expect the pair to retest 1.3050 (S1). If we consider that the price is forming a top at the current level or the top is around 1.3150 then we should expect a correction downwards and then the continuation of the uptrend.   GBPUSD 1.56637 / 1.56646 High: 1.56755 | Low: 1.56481 | Chg: 0.0007 0.05% SUMMARY: Up INTRADAY TREND: Uptrend MA10: Bullish MA20: Bullish STOCHASTIC: Neutral Resistance Levels: 1.5881 | 1.5775 | 1.5715 | 1.5680 Support Levels: 1.5627 | 1.5552 | 1.5515 | 1.5449 Intraday Analysis: GBPUSD is forming higher bottoms and is now moving towards 1.5680 (R1) to retest that level again, as it is considered a technical and psychological resistance level for the bears. A break above that level will concentrate our focus at 1.5715 (R2). On the downside, if the price declines below 1.5627 (S1) we can expect the price to retest 1.5552 (S2) and then to bounce upwards for a continuation of the uptrend (intraday).   USDJPY 77.532 / 77.537 High: 77.807 | Low: 77.522 | Chg: -0.246 -0.32% SUMMARY: Down INTRADAY TREND: Downtrend MA10: Bearish MA20: Bearish STOCHASTIC: Neutral Resistance Levels: 79.86 | 79.21 | 78.75 | 78.28 Support Levels: 77.34 | 76.54 | 75.98 | 75.58 Intraday Analysis: USDJPY made a sharp move upwards and formed a top at 78.28 (R1) and then fell and was supported at 77.53. It now seems that it is going to retest our first support level at 77.34 (S1). If it breaks below that level, we can expect the price to retest our second support at 76.54 (S2). As we mentioned in yesterday’s analysis, a break above 77.28 (R1) brings the possibility of a trend reversal into play. As long as the pair remains below that level, the price remains trapped in a trading range on the daily timeframe and a downtrend on the weekly.

Following that we saw a decline towards Tuesday’s support level at 1.2719 (S1). A break below that level we can expect the price to retest 1.2666 (S2), and with further decline we will be targeting 1.2597 (S3). On the upside, if price manages to break above our first resistance level 1.2818 (R1) price will most probably approach 1.2897 (R2). In the daily chart the pair is in a downtrend mode with the price moving closer to the downtrend trend line. Our recommendation for today’s session is no position as we can wait either for a reaction upwards and retest of the downtrend trend line or for a move downwards and continuation of the downtrend trend.   GBPUSD 1.54612 / 1.54618 High: 1.54904 | Low: 1.54472 | Chg: -0.0023 -0.15% SUMMARY: Up INTRADAY TREND: Uptrend MA10: Bearish MA20: Bearish STOCHASTIC: Neutral Resistance Levels: 1.5630 | 1.5579 | 1.5525 | 1.5497 Support Levels: 1.5422 | 1.5395 | 1.5364 | 1.5312 Intraday Analysis: The GBPUSD formed a top yesterday at 1.5497 (R1) and now it seems that it is moving upwards to retest the same resistance level. A break above that level will confirm our long positions targeting 1.5579 (R3). A stop loss should be placed below 1.5447.

A break above that level suggests further rise towards 1.5579 (R2) and then 1.5630 (R3).
