Major Currencies’ Morning Report 16/ July /2010

EURUSDThe pair pushed to the upside achieving yesterday’s suggested scenario that has halted around 1.2950 due to the negativity of momentum indicators. We expect the pair to attempt some minor bearish correction before resuming the expected bullish intraday trend in an attempt to attack 61.8% Fibonacci correction at 1.2985 and insure the way towards more bullishness over short term basis. Keep in mind that, the breach of 1.2775 will weaken chances of achieving more bullish activity. EUR

GBPUSDThe pair closely neared the awaited key target around 1.5500, since it  is showing signs of a bearish reversal correction for the last bullish wave, in an attempt to rid of the clear negative momentum appearing in the four- hour chart below.

USDJPYThe pair succeeded in achieving yesterday’s suggested scenario flawlessly that is currently at the key suggested target at 86.95 – the bottom recorded in the beginning of the current month -, supporting this level is the positivity of momentum indicators that could push the pair to bullishly correct before continuing the expected bearish intraday direction.

USDCHF
The pair was able to achieve the awaited bearish trend due to support from the breach of the symmetrical triangle’s support shown below. The pair is finding a difficult time in surpassing 1.0400, supported by oversold signs appearing on momentum indicators; therefore, some fluctuation may be witnessed until the bullish momentum is gotten rid of and then heads to resume the expected bearish intraday direction; targeting 1.0250 initially. Stability below 1.0540 is essential for the expected bearish trend to prevail.CHF
