EURUSD Intraday Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

EURUSD (1.1436):<\/strong>\u00a0The EURUSD currency pair is seen maintaining strong gains following the decline below 1.1334 level of support. Having breached the resistance at 1.1397, the common currency is expected to post further gains. The next main resistance is seen at 1.1461 which could be tested in the near term. However, we expect that the EURUSD will settle into a range within the said levels unless price breaks out strongly above 1.1461.<\/p>\n

AUDUSD Intraday Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

AUDUSD (0.7185):<\/strong>\u00a0The AUDUSD currency pair was seen retracing the gains as price action is back near the resistance level of 0.7191. This would mark the second retest of this level as resistance. As long as this resistance holds, the AUDUSD could be seen posting further declines. The lower support at 0.7022 remains a key level of interest. Establishing support at this level would indicate that the bottom is in place for AUDUSD. Alternately, a breakout above 0.7191 would signal further gains targeting 0.7292.<\/p>\n

XAUUSD Intraday Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

XAUUSD (1312.99):<\/strong>\u00a0Gold prices have continued to post strong gains as price action was seen trading near the 1312 level. Further gains could potentially push gold prices toward the 1322 level in the near term. However, there is a possibility that gold prices could post some declines back to the 1296 level where support could now be established.<\/p>\n
