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

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

EURUSD (1.1325):<\/strong>\u00a0The EURUSD currency is seen maintaining a bearish mode as price action briefly retested the falling trend line only to test the lower support. The consolidation near the lower support area of 1.1315 \u2013 1.1300 signals a potential break down below this level. This could potentially extend the declines in the EURUSD to the lower support at 1.1220 region. The common currency continues to maintain a sideways range in the medium term. This is expected to continue into tomorrow\u2019s ECB meeting.<\/p>\n

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

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

GBPUSD (1.2508):<\/strong>\u00a0The GBPUSD currency pair, having cleared the support area of 1.2683 is seen extending the declines further. The rebound off the initial local low formed at 1.2556 saw prices breaking past this low to reach the declines further. The next main support in GBPUSD is seen at 1.2356. We expect the cable to continue posting declines eventually testing the next support level. To the upside, any gains are likely to be capped near 1.2556 followed by the breached support level of 1.2683 which could now turn to resistance.<\/p>\n

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

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

XAUUSD (1244.33):<\/strong>\u00a0Gold prices retested the previous highs as price action rallied back to the 1248 region. However, the lower high in price sent gold lower to test the support at 1242.25. While gold is currently seen posting a rebound off this level, we expect the support to give way eventually. This could potentially extend the declines in gold amid a correction to the downside. The untested support at 1227 remains a key level of interest. However, failure to post the decline down to 1227 could result in gold prices attempting to retest the 1248 resistance once again.<\/p>\n
