Major Currencies’ weekly Report 14/ June /2010

EURUSD

The pair continued its upside push where it managed to breach the resistance level for the descending short term channel, surpassing the breached retest line for the previously mentioned bearish technical pattern at 1.2130. 

These factors alongside bullish momentum will continue appearing through momentum indicators, which encourage us to expect a  bullish trend this week considered to be natural trading within the descending medium term channel; targets start at 1.2365 and should be observed when the pair reaches it, since breaching it will pave the way towards 1.2600 – 1.2630. These points out that achieving stability below 1.2060 will make the bullish direction scenario fail and make the bearish trend’s pace to return once again.

.
The trading range for this week is among the key support at 1.1945 and the key resistance at 1.2630.
.
The short term trend is to the downside as far as 1.3770 remains intact with targets at 1.1700.

GBPUSD

The rising wedge pattern continues to affect the pair last week as it manages to achieve negative pressure on the pair, pushing the pair towards 1.4340 after breaching its support. Meanwhile, we notice that 38.2% Fibonacci correction will descend from 1.5497 towards 1.4229, where the pair has resisted pushing upwards in two technical attempts. The pair stabilized above SMA 100, where strong positive signs are appearing through the stochastic, alongside signs of a bullish technical pattern appearing on the four hour chart above. These factors combined make us expect a bullish trend this week; targeting mainly 1.5000 and requiring first the breach and building a base above 1.4705 – mentioned 38.2% Fibonacci -. Keep in mind that the breach of 1.4500 will make the expected ascending scenario to fail.
