GBP/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2990; (P) 1.3041; (R1) 1.3080;
Intraday bias in GBP/USD remains on the downside for the moment. Corrective rise from 1.2661 has completed at 1.3297, ahead of 1.3316 key fibonacci level. Deeper fall should be seen to 1.2784 support first. Break will likely resume larger down trend from 1.4376 through 1.2661. On the upside, above 1.3089 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidation, before staging another decline.
In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 1.1946 (2016 low) should have completed at 1.4376 already, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4062). The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.
EUR/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1565; (P) 1.1608; (R1) 1.1648;
Intraday bias in EUR/USD remains on the downside for 1.1525 support. Decisive break there will confirm that corrective rise from 1.1300 has completed at 1.1814. In such case, deeper fall should be seen back to retest 1.1300. On the upside, above 1.1650 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring recovery. But upside should be limited well below 1.1814 to bring fall resumption.
In the bigger picture, a medium term bottom should be in place at 1.1300, on bullish convergence condition in daily MACD and some consolidations would be seen. But still, note that EUR/USD was rejected by 38.2% retracement of 1.6039 (2008 high) to 1.0339 (2017 low) at 1.2516. That carries some long term bearish implications. Thus, we’d expect fall from 1.2555 high to resume after consolidation completes. Below 1.1300 should send EUR/USD through 61.8% retracement of 1.0339 to 1.2555 at 1.1186. And, in that case, EUR/USD would head to retest 1.0339 (2017 low).
