EUR/USD - European Session

EUR/USD Daily Chart

After yesterday's downside move, the pair inched higher and achieved a daily closing above 1.3700 represented in 23.6% correction failing the bearish extension of yesterday. In fact, stabilizing above the referred to level could trigger intraday corrections today, but Linear Regression Indicators has negatively crossed over and broke the bullish support keeping the overall downside move.

We expect a correction to short the pair especially that MACD is still negative and the pair is trading below the bullish support as showing on graph. Only a break above 1.3835 indicates the possibility of bringing the upside move back.

GBP/USD - European Session

GBP/USD Daily Chart

The pair rebounded to the upside from around the key support level of the ascending channel as showing on graph, indicating that the ascending channel still affects the pair and could extend the upside move. AROON and MACD Indicators are currently showing that negativity isn't over yet, as Linear Regression Indicators are covering the pair from the upside, while Linear Regression Indicator 34 is negative.

Hence, we will close most of the selling positions and bet intraday on some bullishness that depends on breaching 1.6825. Of note, the negative signals on technical indicators will be activated again by a break below 1.6700 and achieving it will bring negativity back.
