EUR/USD Technical Analysis

EUR/USD Technical Analysis Euro Dollar

Recently, the pair started an upside correction after forming a support base near the 1.1110 level. There was a break above the 1.1140 resistance and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1187 high to 1.1101 low. Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near 1.1140 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD.

The pair tested the 1.1160 resistance plus the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1187 high to 1.1101 low. It is currently consolidating in a range and it seems like there could be more gains above the 1.1160 and 1.1180 resistance levels.

On the downside, the 1.1140 level and the 50 hourly SMA might provide support. If there is a close below the 1.1140 support, the pair is likely to resume its downtrend.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis

The US Dollar remained in a strong uptrend and it broke many hurdles near 108.00 and 108.20 against the Japanese Yen. The USD/JPY pair even surpassed the 108.50 resistance level to post a new weekly high.

Finally, there was a break above the 108.80 level and the pair traded close to the 109.00 level. A swing high was formed near 108.94 and the pair recently corrected lower.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis Dollar Yen

There was a break below the 108.70 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. A swing low was formed near 108.45 and recently the pair started a fresh increase. However, the upward move was capped by the 108.70 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average.

Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 108.94 high to 108.45 low acted as a resistance. On the downside, there are many supports near the 108.50 and 108.40 levels.

There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near 108.50 on the hourly chart. Therefore, dips remain well supported on the downside near the 108.50 and 108.40 levels.

The main support on the downside is near the 108.20 level. On the upside, the pair needs to surpass the 108.70 and 108.80 levels to revisit the 109.00 resistance area in the coming sessions. Above 109.00, the pair could test the 109.40 level.
