USD/JPY

The USD/JPY has formed an upper shadow above 118.85 –Fibonacci of 38.2%- and closed below it, while trading stabilized below this important level during the Asian session.

USD/JPY Daily Chart

Trading below 118.85 without achieving a 4-hour closing doesn’t support bulls, while 118.30 offers support from the downside; noting that, RSI and ADX don’t present reliable signals.

Hence, we will avoid trading the pair now until it presents reasonable risk versus reward ratio.

Support: 118.30-117.75-117.30

Resistance: 118.85-119.10-119.50

Direction: Neutral

USD/CHF

USD/CHF has been traded within the same range during the Asian session, while the fall seen after FOMC statement yesterday didn’t continue after finding support above 1.0130 as seen on the provided daily chart.

USD/CHF Daily Chart

RSI moves in a neutral mode, while ADX reflects the uncertainty about upcoming big move.

So then, we will watch out the price behaviors, but we will use sell stop order types below the aforesaid level.

Support: 1.0130-1.0110-1.0065

Resistance: 1.0180-1.0220-1.0250

Direction: Sideways, but bearish below 1.0130

EUR/USD

Although EUR traded above the resistance line and above the support of 1.0835 along with stable moves above moving averages at 1.0860, it failed to stabilize above 38.2% Fibonacci at 1.0890.

EUR/USD H4 Chart

ADX attempts to be bearish, while RSI shows decease in momentum despite moving above 50.00.

All those technical signs force us to remain on the sidelines now.

Support: 1.0835– 1.0790 – 1.0745

Resistance: 1.0890 –1.0935 – 1.0985

Direction: Bullish

GBP/USD

GBP/USD hovers around the resistance seen on the chart below moving averages 20 and 50 at 1.4295, which represent a strong resistance.

GBP/USD H4 Chart

On the downside, the pair stabilizes above 1.4190 along with negative signals on trend indicators without affirming the upside recovery.

RSI moves below 50.00 in a sideways range and thus, we will be neutral until a reasonable signal appears.

Support: 1.4230 – 1.4190 – 1.4100

Resistance: 1.4290 – 1.4325 – 1.4390

Direction: Neutral
