Forex Flash: Majors primed to maintain recent advances – UBS
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - UBS Strategists, Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu take a technical perspective at today's majors and outline the technical positions.
Beginning with one of the more active pairs over an intraweek basis, the USD/JPY remains bullish, in spite of critical resistance at the 99.87 level, onto 101.45. However, “The immediate risk should be for a setback to unwind the overextended upside conditions, support is at 98.59 ahead of 97.09.” they add.
As for the GBP/USD, neutrality is the near-term outlook, while resistance is at 1.5363, ahead of 1.5424 – so long as this level holds, there is scope for resumption of broader bear trend. Support is at 1.5239 ahead of 1.5160. Finally, regarding the USD/CHF, the analysts maintain a neutral perspective as well, as the important support at 0.9295 was tested yesterday. A break below this would expose 0.9230. Resistance is at 0.9375 ahead of 0.9455.
