EUR/USD
Current level-1.4962
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 1.4134 and 1.3523.
With the recent peak at 1.5043 most of the major currency pairs reached important support/resistance levels, so there is a possibility, that a top might be in place. Nevertheless, current slide from 1.5043 is still corrective in nature and while 1.4880 is intact, the focus will remain set on 1.5104 reversal area. On the upside, 1.5015 is today's trigger for an upmove towards 1.5104.
Minor | Intraday | Major | Intraweek | |
Resistance | 1.5015 | 1.5043 | 1.53+ | 1.6040 |
Support | 1.4935 | 1.4880 | 1.4444 | 1.3746 |

GBP/USD
Current level- 1.6565
The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated between the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.
A minor has been set at 1.6636 and current slide is corrective in nature, seeking support at 1.6535 and 1.6490. The overall bias remains positive for 1.67+ with an intraday confirmative level at 1.6607.
