Technical Analysis – FX Daily Majors

Today’s highlights:

EUR/USD: Yesterday’s failure ahead of the 1.4453 resistance hurdle keeps the short-term bias lower to 1.4259/32 chart/38.2% Fibonacci retracement support zone

GBP/USD: Decline continues after reversal from 1.6619 resistance. Risk today is for a break through 1.6422 trend support, which would in turn complete a top and expose 1.6300

AUD/USD: Back challenging initial resistance placed at 1.0484 this morning. We do not expect an upside break to be sustained and remain negative, targeting 1.0111 support

NZD/USD: Market holds above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement support level of .8141 for now; however, the broad bias still remains through here to .8069/78 and then .7965

Today’s trades:

EUR/USD: Average short from 1.4353, target 1.4160, stop placed at 1.4460. Retry short again at 1.4512 if stopped out
