Technical Analysis:

 

EURUSD (H4)

Euro-dollar failed to capitalize on its early gain and is kept beneath 1.1287. Price touched Bollinger’s upper band for the first time in a week, and was lingering above the mid-line. The band on the four-hour chart is narrowing, which could be a set-up for upcoming surge or plummet. If it manages to stay above Bollinger mid-line within the white box highlighted above, it could move to take out 1.1287 resistance. Otherwise, bear will regain control.

 

Resistance: 1.1287, 1.1348, 1.1394

Support: 1.1177, 1.1096, 1.1023

USDJPY (H4)

USDJPY successfully conquered SMA100, and it aims to regain 108 handle. It once reached 107.9, the highest price in two weeks. The pair is currently hovering above SMA200, turning the resistance into a support. The bullish breakout was freshly completed on Monday, and there is plenty on the upside. Thus, bull looks to have upper hand over bear.

 

Resistance: 108, 108.55, 109.2

Support: 107.1, 106.5, 106

USDCAD (H4)

USDCAD has been sitting comfortably within Bollinger Band’s upper region, and frequently touch the upper line since last Thursday. The upward channel remains intact with 1.3739 acting as a near resistance, which should be challenged in the near term. If price reversed and touch Bollinger’s lower line, then the pair could trade sideways, but a bearish reversal looks unpromising.

 

Resistance: 1.3739, 1.3865, 1.4033

Support: 1.352, 1.3377
