Currency Majors Technical Perspective
Matías Salord from FXstreet.com Independent Analyst Team at 02/04/10
EURUSD Current price: 1.3895
Pair fell constantly during the last hours and hourly charts turned bearish; close to oversold. Recent fall has been cupped by support at 1.3880; a break could send the pair to test weekly lows at 1.3850. Bigger time frames continue to support a bearish perspective and a break below previous lows could trigger more downside. Pair weakened in the last hours and the upside should be limited to 1.3930 for the next few hours.
Support levels: 1.3880 1.3850 1.3800
Resistance levels: 1.3975 1.4025 1.4050
GBPUSD Current price: 1.5896
No clear signs at the moment. To the upside, only above 1.6175 pair could change the bearish perspective in bigger time frames. In the short term if the pair rises above 1.5930 it could rally further to test 1.6000. If the pair falls below yesterdays low at 1.5875 should trigger more downside to a probable test of 1.5845. Volatility should increase as we move closer to the BoE decision.
Support levels: 1.5870 1.5850 1.5795
Resistance levels: 1.5930 1.6005 1.6070

Dollar needs to consolidate above 91.00 to keep the upside bias but a correction to 90.55 is possible in the next hours supported by hourly indicators that favors the downside ; if the pair falls below it could accelerate the downside toward 90.25. To rally further pair needs a clear break above 91.35.
