EUR/USD

Current level-1.4343

EUR/USD is in a downtrend, after peaking at1.5146 (Nov.25,2009). Technical indicators are neutral, and trading is situated between the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.4793 and 1.4169.
  
While 1.4257 is intact, the overall bias will remain neutral in the 1.4216-1.4500 range. Nevertheless we feel, that there is a chance for one last upswing to 1.4670 resistance, as the pair will try to gather momentum for the next leg downwards. The intraday bias is positive and a break above 1.4401 will set the focus on 1.4501, en route to 1.4670.

GBP/USD

Current level- 1.6040

The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated between the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.

Although the pair dipped to 1.5944 we continue to expect one more upswing to 1.6410, so stay tuned for a clear break above 1.6070 resistance area, that shall clear the road towards 1.6410. Intraday bias is neutral and while the pair holds below 1.6070, the outlook on the 1 h. chart will remain bearish.
