GBP

The Cable was able to breach the 1.6355 resistance level and maintain trading above it gradually nearing the next resistance at 1.6425. The intraday and short term trends are to the upside where we expect the pair to face some difficulties due to the different resistance levels between 1.6410 and 1.6425 alongside the overbought signals on the stochastic indicator which may result in a downside correction to 1.6355 before rebounding back to the upside today targeting 1.6500 and 1.6635 respectively.

JPY

The USD/JPY pair is attempting to breach the support level pointed out yesterday which has shifted to 90.70 as it may result in a decline today if the pair manages to close below the level on the four hour charts. The stochastic indicator is providing bullish signs which may delay the breach yet a successful breakout will open the way towards 88.70 and 88.20 as far as 91.75 remains intact.

Recommendation: Based on the charts and explanations above, our opinion is selling the pair with the breach of 90.70 to 89.70 and stop loss above 91.50 might be appropriate.

CHF

The Dollar versus Swissy pair is trading around the key support for the minor downside channel at 1.0225 in an attempt to breach it yet the positive pressure seen on momentum indicators is delaying the decline. The breach will be confirmed with a four hour closing below the mentioned level to open the way towards 1.0000 where we expect the pair is to decline on the intraday basis as far as 1.0345 is intact.

Recommendation: Based on the charts and explanations above, our opinion is selling the pair from 1.0225 to 1.0135 and stop loss above 1.0285 might be appropriate.

CAD

Trading maintained levels below the previously breached key support at 1.0715 yesterday where we see a support level at 1.0655 representing the neckline of a bearish technical pattern as seen in the above image. From here we expect the pair to decline on the intraday basis today confirmed with a four hour closing below the neckline with technical targets for the pattern at 1.0465. The stochastic indicator is showing the pair being oversold which may result in volatile trading around the neckline yet the short term trend remains to the downside as far as 1.0820 is intact.

The trading range for today is among the key support at 1.0425 and the key resistance at 1.0900

The general trend is to the downside as far as 1.1870 remains intact with targets at 1.0300
