ORBEX | Jun 21, 2016 03:51AM ET
GBP/USD remains trading flat, but price action indicates a near term correction, following the rally yesterday to test the resistance at 1.4668 - 1.46470. The markets look to another day of quiet trading except Janet Yellen's speech that could see some movements. EUR/USD has pulled back following the test of resistance to 1.1380 but remains trading flat on the longer term horizon.
EUR/USD Daily Analysis
EUR/USD (1.133):EUR/USD closed bearish following the up gap on Monday as prices failed to break above the resistance near 1.140 - 1.1380. The ranging price action is likely to continue in the near term with the downside to 1.1294 - 1.1280 support likely to be tested in the near term. Below 1.1280 support, EUR/USD could fall back to the previous support at 1.1246 - 1.12350 lower support level. The sideways price action is likely to continue with a break above out 1.140 or below 1.1235 likely to set further directional bias.
USD/JPY DailyAnalysis
USD/JPY (103.9):USD/JPY closed bearish yesterday with prices inching closer to the 104 level, just below the identified support at 104.50 - 104.00 region. A break below 104.00 could keep USD/JPY subdued for further downside, to 103 and perhaps to 102.0, lower support level. The 4-hour chart shows the Stochastics currently posting a higher low against the lower low in prices. In the event of a break above 104.50, further upside could see USD/JPY test 106.50 minor resistance.
