USDJPY market operation is bullish. On the weekly time frame, there was a bullish rejection of the 131.290/130.380 horizontal support (green) two weeks ago.

USDJPY price action on the daily time is operating in a bullish structure. There was a 78.6 Fib retracement of the 126.680/139.280 bullish swing on August 2. Presently, price action is navigating the 136.890 minor horizontal resistance, but we would soon see further bullish directional move.

GBPUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

GBPUSD market operation on the weekly time frame turned bearish after retesting the 1.23325/1.21530 horizontal resistance (red). Last week’s bearish candlestick dropped from the area and surged to the 1.18270/1.17390 horizontal support (green) before meeting a bullish pushback. We can expect further southward move in the area. However, a bullish correction followed by a southward rotation would see a bearish drive, which, perhaps, in the nearest future may threaten the 1.14250 handle.

GBPUSD price action on the daily time frame is bearish. Although technicals and the order flow favour further southward move we may still witness a bullish correction, as price action tackles the 1.18270/1.17390 horizontal support zone (green), before further southward drive.

EURUSD Weekly Technical Outlook

Two weeks ago, EURUSD market operation on the weekly time frame made a bullish attempt to retest the broken down 1.03790/1.04790 former horizontal support zone (red) but failed, printing a relatively long upper shadow a few pips below the zone. A bearish rotation occurred last week with the printing of a relatively big bearish candlestick which broke below a horizontal support area that was formed six weeks ago. Any further southward move may threaten the 0.99380 multi-year horizontal support (green).

EURUSD price action on the daily time frame turned bearish after making a 61.8 Fib retracement of the 1.06360/0.99380 bearish swing several days ago. We can expect further bearish move, perhaps to retest the 0.99380 multi-year horizontal support (green).

EURUSD technical structure and order flow context on the H4 time frame support a bearish continuation. Although we may soon see a retest of the 0.99380 multi-year horizontal support (green) seen on the weekly time frame, we cannot rule out a brief northward pullback to an area of value before a southward continuation.

Should bears fail to maintain market influence, we may see a bullish pullback to an area of value before further southward drive.
