Major Currencies’ Morning Report 08/6/2010

EURUSD

The pair is fluctuating within the narrow range yesterday and gradually nearing the retesting level for the previously broken support that has currently turned into resistance at 1.2010. Stochastic started to turn negative and thereby encouraging us to maintain our previous expectations of a bearish intraday trend that targets initially 1.1900. Keep in mind that the breach of 1.2010 and building a base above it will pave the way for natural trading within the current downside channel, and then head towards its resistance at 1.2200.
