EUR/USD

Current level – 1.1312

The support zone at 1.1330 was violated and the European common currency continued to lose ground against the dollar during yesterday’s session. If the bearish attack continues, then the expectations are for a test of the target at 1.1268. A successful breach of the aforementioned level would strengthen the negative expectations for the future path of the pair and could easily lead to new losses for the EUR/USD. The first target for the bulls is the level of 1.1330, which is now acting as resistance, followed by the zone at 1.1369. The economic calendar is quite packed today and volatility can be expected at 10:00 GMT, when the GDP data for the Eurozone and the ZEW economic sentiment for Germany are to be announced, as well as the Core PPI for the U.S. at 13:30 GMT. The lack of de-escalation in Ukraine will also keep markets on their toes and might lead to some sharp moves.

USD/JPY

Current level –  115.32

Yesterday, neither the bears nor the bulls managed to gain enough momentum and the Ninja continued to trade in the zone between 115.03 and 115.57. Only a successful breach of one of the borders could set the future direction of the USD/JPY. A violation of the resistance level at 115.57 would pave the way towards a test of the upper target at 116.15, where a breach could lead to a more sustained rally and further gains for the dollar against the yen. A breach of the level at 115.03 will most likely lead to a deeper sell-off towards the support zone at 114.31.

GBP/USD

Current level – 1.3534

The breach of the support zone at 1.3521 was not confirmed, and during the early hours of today`s trading, the Cable is holding positions above this level. If the bulls manage to keep the pair from falling below 1.3521, then an attack on the resistance zone at 1.3616 would be the most probable scenario. A successful breach of the aforementioned level would strengthen the positive sentiment and most likely lead to more gains for the sterling against the greenback. If the bears gain momentum and manage to violate the support at 1.3521, then their first target would be the level at 1.3434.

Gold price achieves strong gains

Gold price rallied upwards strongly to breach 1860.00 level and settles above it, to activate the positive scenario and head towards achieving more expected gains in the upcoming period, on its way to test 1900.00 barrier as a next main station.

The EMA50 supports the suggested bullish wave, which will remain valid conditioned by the price stability above 1860.00.

The expected trading range for today is between 1860.00 support and 1900.00 resistance.

The expected trend for today: Bullish
