EUR/USD

Euro stabilizes above moving averages 20 and 50 along with stability above support line near 38.2% Fibonacci at 1.0930.

EUR/USD 4-Hour Chart

A negative appears on ADX, which contradicts with the previous signals.

Hence, we remain neutral to see whether a four-hour closing will be achieved above 1.0990 or below 1.0930 to pinpoint the next big move.

Support: 1.0930 – 1.0890 – 1.0850

Resistance: 1.0990 –1.1030 – 1.1060

Direction: Sideways

USD/CHF

The USD/CHF pair has found support above 38.2% Fibonacci level and is currently touching SMA20.

USD/CHF Daily Chart

However, the pair trades below moving averages, which offers signs of contradiction amid lack of liquids due to the year-end vacations.

Therefore, we will be on the sidelines; noting that, a break below 0.9800 is negative, while stability above 0.9950 followed by 1.0000 psychological may assist the pair to start 2016 bullishly.

Support: 0.9850-0.9805-0.9775

Resistance: 0.9905-0.9950-0.9975

Direction: Sideways

USD/JPY

USD/JPY has showed signs of bearish tendencies after testing areas just below 50% Fibonacci, but the trading range is very tight.

USD/JPY Daily Chart

A break below 120.00 psychological may activate new descending actions, reinforced by the coverage from moving averages and solidity of 50% level.

However, we will not be involved in any positions now due to the vacations’ circumstances.

Support: 120.35-120.00-119.65

Resistance: 121.00- 121.40-121.70

Direction: Bearish, but we will avoid trading due to lackluster of liquidity.

GBP/USD

The low liquidity conditions amid Christmas didn’t offer any new signal on GBP/USD, as the pair hovers around 1.4890 between moving averages.

A four-hour closing above 1.4935 is positive, while coming below 1.4885 is negative. Anyway, the weakness remain appearing on ADX and RSI.
