August 06 market commentary and technical levels
By Setyo Wibowo (analyst@fxinstructor.com) EURUSD Outlook Yesterday the EURUSD continued it’s bearish momentum. The pair bottomed at 1.5445 and closed at 1.5449. Technically, after break out the support level at 1.5460 yesterday, the pair open the door towards 1.5380. My model is mixed with neutral bias. Immediate resistance is seen at 1.5512 followed by 1.5570. A break out to the upside could trigger further correction towards 1.5630. CCI in oversold area on daily chart so watch out for an upside correctional move. EURUSD Daily Supports and Resistances: S1= 1.5404 S2= 1.5359 S3= 1.5274 R1= 1.5534 R2= 1.5619 R3= 1.5664 GBPUSD Outlook The GBPUSD also continued it’s bearish momentum yesterday, although the bearish power was less than what I had expected. The pair bottomed at 1.9520 and closed at 1.9529. My model is mixed with neutral bias. Immediate support is seen at 1.9470. A break to the downside from that level could trigger further bearish scenario towards 1.9360. Initial resistance at 1.9575 followed by 1.9625.

My model remains mixed with upside bias. The key level in this phase is 108.40/50. A break to the upside would trigger further bullish movement towards 108.90 then 109.50. Immediate support is seen at 108.05 followed by 107.67 (yesterday’s low). CCI about to cross 100 line up on daily chart, suggesting a potential bullish view.
