EUR/USD Technical Analysis

Recently, the Euro extended its decline below the 1.1200 support area against the US Dollar. The EUR/USD pair broke the 1.1175 support level and tested the next support near 1.1135.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis Euro US Dollar

Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1205 high to 1.1134 low. However, there are many hurdles on the upside near the 1.1175 level.

Moreover, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near 1.1175 on the hourly chart of EUR/USD. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 1.1205 high to 1.1134 low.

Therefore, a clear break above the 1.1175, the 50 hourly simple moving average, and 1.1180 resistance levels is must for more gains in the near term.

Conversely, the pair might struggle to move above the 1.1175 resistance area. In the mentioned case, it could decline back towards the 1.1135 support area.

If there is a downside break below the 1.1135 support, the pair may even struggle to stay above 1.1120. The next stop for the bears could be near the 1.1105 level, where the bulls could protect further losses.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis

The US Dollar dived recently below the 108.00 support area against the Japanese Yen. The USD/JPY pair traded close to the 107.65 support area before it starting an upside correction.

A low is formed near 107.64 and the pair is currently correcting higher. It climbed above the 108.00 resistance area. Besides, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 108.62 high to 107.64 low.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis US Dollar Yen

The pair is now trading above the 108.20 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. However, it is facing a strong resistance near the 108.40 and 108.50 levels.

Besides, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the 108.62 high to 107.64 low is likely to act as a hurdle. Moreover, there is a major bearish trend line in place with resistance near 108.50 on the hourly chart.

Therefore, a clear break above the 108.40 resistance and the trend line is must for an upside continuation. If the pair settles above 108.50, it could start a strong rise towards the 109.00 and 109.20 levels.

On the other hand, USD/JPY might fail to continue above the 108.50 resistance. In the mentioned case, it could resume its decline and trade below the 108.00 and 107.80 support levels in the near term.
