GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4165; (P) 1.4206; (R1) 1.4266;
GBP/USD’s rally resume after brief consolidation an reaches as high as 1.4274 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside for 1.4345 high next. Firm break there will resume medium term rally and target 61.8% projection of 1.3038 to 1.4345 from 1.3711 at 1.4519 next. On the downside, below 1.4220 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral again. But retreat should be contained well above 1.3964 support to bring another rally.
In the bigger picture, as long as 1.3651 resistance turned support holds, medium term outlook in GBP/USD will remain bullish. Rise from 1.1946 is at least correcting the long term down trend from 2007 high at 2.1161. Further rally would be seen back to 38.2% retracement of 2.1161 (2007 high) to 1.1946 (2016 low) at 1.5466. However, GBP/USD fails to sustain above 55 month EMA (now at 1.4267) so far. Break of 1.3651 will be the first sign of medium term reversal and turn focus to 1.3038 support for confirmation.
EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2290; (P) 1.2334 (R1) 1.2370;
Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains neutral as this point, as it drew support from 1.2302 and recovered. On the upside, above 1.2396 will extend the rise from 1.2214 to 1.2475 and then 1.2555. 1.2516/55 is the key resistance zone to determine larger outlook. On the downside, below 1.2302 will turn bias to the downside for 1.2214 support first. And firm break there will revive the case of rejection by 1.2516 key fibonacci level and turn outlook bearish.
In the bigger picture, key fibonacci level at 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516 remains intact despite attempts to break. Hence, rise from 1.0339 medium term bottom is still seen as a corrective move for the moment. Rejection from 1.2516 will maintain long term bearish outlook and keep the case for retesting 1.0039 alive. Firm break of 1.1553 support will add more medium term bearishness. However, sustained break of 1.2516 will carry larger bullish implication and target 61.8% retracement of 1.6039 to 1.0339 at 1.3862 in medium term.
