GBPUSD Marching Higher

GBPUSDH1.pngThe British Pound after a decline towards 1.2930 against the US Dollar started an upside move. The GBPUSD pair moved above 1.3000 handles and currently trading above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

The pair is now gaining pace and moving inside an ascending channel pattern with resistance at 1.3035 on the hourly chart.

A break above the channel resistance is very likely for a test of the 1.3050 resistance and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.3125 high to 1.2933 low. The overall trend is positive for GBPUSD as long as the pair is above 1.3000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

AUDUSD Approaching Breakout

AUDUSDH1 21.07.17

The Aussie Dollar after trading as high as 0.7987 against the US Dollar started a correction. The AUDUSD pair traded towards 0.7880 where it found support.

A bullish trend line at 0.7885 and the 100 hourly simple moving average acted as a support area and prevented declines. On the upside, there is a connecting trend line at 0.7945 on the same chart.

Clearly, there is a breakout pattern forming as a contracting triangle with support at 0.7920. An initial resistance is around the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 0.7987 high to 0.7874 low. A break above the trend line resistance at 0.7930-40 may call for more gains in the near term.

EURUSD Approaching Crucial Support

EURUSDH1 (1)
The Euro after trading as high as 1.1582 against the US Dollar started a correction wave and moved below the 1.1550 support.
However, the EUR/USD pair is currently trading near a major support area at 1.1515. There is also a bullish trend line on the downside at 1.1510 on the hourly chart.
Clearly, the 1.1510-15 support zone is very important and may produce a bounce in the near term. On the upside, there is a short-term bearish trend line at 1.1538. Buying dips near 1.1515 or a break above 1.1540 might be considered in the short term with a stop below the trend line support.
