EURUSD intraday analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"forex<\/a><\/p>\n

EURUSD (1.1678):<\/strong>\u00a0The EURUSD currency pair was seen trading flat on Wednesday. Price action was seen stuck below 1.1730 resistance with brief attempts on an intraday basis. On the 4-hour chart, the EURUSD is seen trading slightly choppy as a result. The ranging price action could continue within the levels mentioned. A breakout from the range is however expected to set the direction in the trend in the near term.<\/p>\n

GBPUSD intraday analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"forex<\/a><\/p>\n

GBPUSD (1.3149):<\/strong>\u00a0The GBPUSD currency pair was seen briefly testing the resistance level at 1.3205 before easing back. We expect to see a solid retest of this level once again before price action could potentially post a pullback. The retest of the support at 1.3036 is likely to form. Establishing support at this level could put GBPUSD on track to breach the current resistance level at 1.3205.<\/p>\n

XAUUSD intraday analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"forex<\/a><\/p>\n

XAUUSD (1205.52):<\/strong>\u00a0Gold prices continue to consolidate above 1197.50 level of support. Price action remains broadly muted at this level. With gold trading above 1197.50, the sideways range is expected to continue. The upside resistance at 1219.75 is likely to cap any further gains. To the downside, we expect the support at 1197.50 to hold in the near term. A decline below this level could, however, post further losses pushing gold prices down to 1183.30 support.<\/p>\n
