EURUSD and GBPUSD upside corrections of intermediate-term bear trends

Chris Lee

  • Both EURUSD and GBPUSD remain within intermediate-term bear trends, as highlighted in our last article.
  • However, late May EURUSD rebound effort has setup and upside correction tone, but the intermediate-term bear trend is only neutralised above 1.1996.
  • For GPUSD, we still see the intermediate-term bear trend, but the immediate bias is for an early June rebound, but the intermediate-term trend only shift back to neutral through 1.3618.

 

EURUSD Still a recovery bias

A dip on Friday, but whilst above 1.1593 we see a recovery bias from Thursday’s probe higher to test the down trend line from mid-April, leaving an upside effort into Monday.

The latter April plunge through 1.2153 set an intermediate-term bear trend.

For Today:

  • We see an upside bias for 1.1724; break here quickly aims for 1.1750 and 1.1789, maybe for 1.1830.
  • But below 1.1593 opens risk down to 1.1551, maybe for the 1.1509/00 area.

Intermediate-term Outlook – Downside Risks: Whilst below 1.1996 we see a downside risk for 1.1553.

  • Lower targets would be 1.1312 and 1.1134.
  • What Changes This? Above 1.1996 shifts the outlook back to neutral; above 1.2140 is needed for a bull theme.

Resistance and Support:

1.1724 1.1750** 1.1789 1.1830** 1.1854
1.1616 1.1593* 1.1551 1.1509/00* 1.1479*

For Today:

  • We see an upside bias for 1.3378; break here aims for 1.3466, possibly towards 1.3492/3500.
