EUR/USD
Current level-1.4857
EUR/USD is in a broad consolidation, after bottoming at 1.2331 (Oct.28,2008). Technical indicators are neutral, and trading is situated above the 50- and 200-Day SMA, currently projected at 1.4793 and 1.3523.
Yesterday's test of the dynamic resistance at 1.4990 failed and the pair is in a negative mode again, towards 1.4796 major support. We favor a reversal above 1.4796, that will target 1.5050-63 highs again. Intraday bias is negative with an initial resistance at 1.4902 and crucial level at 1.4927

GBP/USD
Current level- 1.6654
The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated above the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.
The drowning from 1.6840 is deeper than expected, but while the pair holds above 1.6627 support there is a chance for reversal, that should set the beginning of the final leg upwards, to 1.6953. Only a break below 1.6515 will confirm, that important top is already in place, at 1.6877. Intraday bias is negative with a resistance at 1.6684 and crucial level at 1.6724.
