EURUSD
The pair is trading within the secondary ascending channel that is forming the flag pattern, where we expect it to lead to a retest of the previously broken support level that has descended towards 1.1995, as it naturally targets resuming the main bearish trend.

Meanwhile, 61.8% Fibonacci correction supported by the SMA 50 held its stance and therefore we expect a bearish intraday direction that start with the breach of 90.95 and heads towards 90.00 then 89.55. Chances of achieving an expected bearish trend that requires stability below 92.90.

USDCHF
More negative pressure on the pair will cause sideway support at 1.1480 although this level is showing stability that will push the pair to the upside due to positive signs that appear on momentum indicators. From here, we expect an initially bullish intraday direction to retest the broken support that has turned into resistance at 1.1625. It is vital to keep an eye on the pair when it reaches this level to insure the upcoming direction more accurately, where the breach of it will insure the pair’s return within the bullish trend within the previously breached ascending short term channel.

Stochastic is showing bullish signs that support SMA and protect the previously expected bullish trend; thus encouraging us to expect a bullish intraday direction; targeting first 1.0675, but keep in mind the importance of the four-hours closing below 1.0470 and will cause ascending attempts to fail.
