Technical Analysis – FX Daily Majors.

Today’s highlights:

EUR/USD: Setback from 50% retracement barrier (1.4456) only dents upside prospects, with risk into next week still to 1.4572

USD/JPY: Setback only prods minor 80.70 support; whilst above 80.34 our bias remains higher to the 200-DMA (82.60)

USD/CHF: Probe below our Fibonacci extension/return line support objective (.8415/8395) leaves risk still lower into June.  .8250 in focus next, on the way to .8125

GBP/USD: Bearish “outside” Tuesday confirmed through recovery support.  Only below pivot area, 1.6310/08, however, switches to a more overly negative tone again

Today’s trades:

EUR/USD: Average long at 1.4405; we would place the stop below 1.4307 for 1.4570

USD/JPY: Long entered at 81.08 for 84.00; exit 80.08

GBP/USD: Flat, would venture long again at 1.6316 for 1.6536; exit 1.6264
