Forex Daily Analysis – Aug. 17, 2009

EURO/DOLLAR

The pair is approaching support between 1.4100 and 1.4120.  A bounce off this level indicates a move higher to rest resistance between 1.4260 and 1.4280.  A break above indicates another move higher and a test of further resistance at 1.4320.

Support below 1.4100 is at 1.4080 followed by 1.4000.

With the trend still up the bias is to the upside.

USD/JPY – Aug 17

Support at 94.40 has held so far, a break will likely target 94.00.  Further support is at 93.80 and 93.40.

Resistance on the upside is at 95.00 and 95.50.  The current trends point to a bias to the downside for the pair.  But 94.40 will need to be penetrated on a sustained break for that to materialize.
