AUD/USD off 5-week lows above 1.0520
EUR/USD is currently at 1.3137 retreating from session highs at 1.3150. Up +0.16% for the session, bounces from fresh 2-week lows at 1.3103 late NY, accelerating to the upside moments after worse than expected Australian 4Q GDP came out at 00:30 GMT. GBP/USD is trading a tight 40-pip range between 1.5698 and 1.5738 so far this Wednesday following a sharp overnight drop to current levels on the back of broad-based USD strength.
EUR/JPY has so far traded a tight 105.69- 106.40 range this Wednesday following a sustained break of the 107.00 handle overnight, sliding 1.6% to 106.05.Along with the dollar, the Japanese yen was the benefactor of a significant flight to safety on global growth and Greek PSI concerns, as investors sought refuge in safe-haven assets. Aussie is back above previous daily lows now around 1.0540, after falling to fresh 5-week lows at 1.0509. With much worse than expected Australian 4Q GDP rising half of expected +0.8%, AUD/USD dropped from session highs around 1.0570, to mentioned lows in a blink of an eye.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD moved downwards and successfully penetrated our second support forming a new low at 1.3103 (S1) profiting on our target recommended in yesterday’s analysis gaining a total of 51 pips!! The pair is under bearish pressure since the price made a high at 1.3480 and retested it twice without succeeding to break above it with a resulting reversal and downwards move. A break below the 1.3103 (S1) level would suggest a target at 1.3053 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on 1.3023 (S3). We believe the pair will continue the downward move and will find a strong support at 1.2985 (S4) a significant technical and psychological level.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD made a sharp move downwards and confirmed our recommendations for short positions below 1.5782 successfully hitting the second support level ending the day with 52 pips profit!!! We expect the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure at the moment (both of our MA 10 - 20 are bearish). Watch for a further correction upwards towards first resistance. So, our recommendation for today’s trading session is look for short positions close to our first resistance 1.5782 (R1) targeting 1.5633 (S2) with a stop loss below 1.5896 (R2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The USDJPY fell on yesterday’s trading session and found a strong support below yesterday’s first recommended target giving us a small profit of 36 pips! After that that price rose and is now moving above 80.58 (S1). If the USDJPY made a top (daily chart) at 81.72 (R2), we should expect further correction downwards (Fibonacci levels) but if the price completes its correction to the current level then it should continue its upwards move. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is no position as we are in a crucial point of the market and it is very important to see a break above 81.14 or below 80.58 to determine the current trend of the market.

The ECB is expected to leave the interest rate unchanged at 1.0%
EUR/USD is currently dealing with session highs last at 1.3178, capped below descending trend line coming from 1.3485 double top Feb 29, and also below past Friday's lows and weekly close. Local share markets have been on the bounce today after three consecutive days falling, with US futures pointing higher and Nikkei index up by +1.51% above the 9700 points mark. GBP/USD opened the day at 1.5738 and spent the Asia-Pacific session trading in a 1.5722/45 range before breaking to a session high of 1.5755 as Asian stocks were lifted on a rumor that the PBoC may cut the RRR by 50bps today. USD/JPY has extended the bounce from its weekly low at 80.57 to 81.35 so far in the Asia-Pacific, last at 81.23 from 81.07 at the end of trade late Wednesday.
AUD/USD has just shot up to a session high of 1.0605 mid-day in Asia-Pacific trading, having rallied from an earlier post- Aussie unemployment rate session low of 1.0530 to 1.0606 on rumors the PBOC might cut the RRR 50 BPS later today. The EUR/JPY cross is currently retracing losses made earlier in the week and is pushing up against psychological resistance at the 107.00 mark after briefly peaking at 107.04.

As we can see on the chart the pair is at a crucial point, as a break below 1.3096 (S1) will confirm a new trend – downtrend. On the other hand if the price manages to break above 1.3240 (R1) it will move above the uptrend trend line and it will indicate a continuation of the uptrend. As we are at a crucial point that it establish if we are in a turning point or if we are still in an uptrend, our recommendations for today’s trading session is no position until one of the above scenarios take place.

A break below 1.5695 (S1) will confirm our short positions targeting 1.5633 (S2) a level that has been retested a couple of times in the last two months but without succeeding to break below it, turning this into a strong technical level. On the other hand, if the pair retests and breaks above the first resistance level of 1.5782 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 1.5847 (R2) and a further rise will be limited at 1.5895 (R3).

Both of our Moving Averages 10 and 20 turned bullish and as we can see the pair is gaining strong upwards momentum. Look for long positions at the current price targeting 81.87 (R1). A stop loss should be placed between 80.96 (S1) and 80.58 (S2).

EUR/USD sells-off as Greece completes debt swap with 85.8% participation
USD/JPY has jumped higher in Asia as weaker-than-expected Chinese CPI data looks to have stimulated investors’ risk appetites. The pair has moved up to as high as 81.88 from 81.54 late Thursday as it tests the 81.87 double top seen Monday and last Friday.The Euro fell this morning as the Greek govt announced it had completed a debt swap with participation at 85.8% vs expectations running as high as 90/95%, although the number stays very much in line with the first initial pre-announcement by Greek offcials at the NY close. €172 tendered vs €206 eligible with Greek officials saying they will enact CACs, as they will amend terms of Greek law bonds for all holders. Grecia has also said participation will be 95.7% (€197m) after CAC triggered. Finally, Greece says 69% of non-Greek bondholders participated.
After the push down to 84.80 at the start of the week, AUD/JPY has bounced nicely from the mentioned support zone and the recovery has extended to as high as 87.12 so far in the Asia-Pacific. AUD/USD is having a minor pull-back from 1.0640 to 1.0634 after the China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, came in lower-than-expected at 3.2% vs 3.5%, down from January's 4.5% increase.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
In yesterday’s analysis we said we were expecting the EURUSD either to break above the uptrend trend line (daily), confirm that the pair is still in an uptrend or to break below 1.3100 and to establish a new trend – down trend. As we can see on the chart the bullish scenario took place and the price broke above the uptrend trend line determining that the uptrend is still in effect. The EURUSD rose and moved below our first resistance this morning at 1.3291 (R1) and now it seems that it is close to retesting the uptrend trend line again just above our first support. Look for long positions above the first support level targeting 1.3291 (R1) and further rise will then be limited at 1.3362 (R2).

A stop loss should be placed at 1.5695 (S2) but the most conservative and tactical traders can hold and wait for the break above 1.5847 (R2) to open their long positions targeting 1.5882 (R2).

EUR/USD at 3-week lows in late Asia
EUR/USD is currently at 1.3100 level,right after Japanese confidence data has come out bit worse than expected, pushing USD higher across the board, along with yen, and sending equities lower. The day ahead includes EU Finance Ministers meeting, Germany Wholesale Price Index (Feb) month on month, and year on year, Italy GDP (Q4 final) at 09:00, Greek industrial production at 10.00 and Portugal Trade Balance at 11:00 GMT. GBP/USD traded sideways above the 1.5650 level for the whole of the Asia-Pacific session, having dipped to as low as 1.5656 from its opening price and session high of 1.5674, last at 1.5660. USD/JPY has begun to retreat from recent 11-month highs during the Asian session Monday, having dipped to as low as 82.10 from an earlier session high of 82.51 as the yen jumped slightly against the greenback on risk-off trading, ignoring further easing rumors by the BoJ in tomorrow's policiy meeting.
The aussie dollar is trading below the 1.0600 mark on Monday after China, main destination of Australian exports, has registered a deficit of CYN 31.5bn in the trade balance, below the CYN -4.9 bn expected and down from CYN 27.3 surplus in the previous print. USD/CHF is breaking higher above the 0.9200 level on broad greenback strength following Friday's positive jobs report in the US, peaking at 0.9213 so far in Asia as it extends its rebound from last week's 0.9069 low.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD made a sharp move downwards from 1.3291 (R2) on Friday’s trading session forming a new low just below our support level at 1.3078 (S1). Now the price has found a strong support at 1.3078 (S1) if it falls below this level we can expect the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure and it seems to be heading towards our support levels. This bearish pressure can also be confirmed by the moving averages that have turned bearish. A break below that level would suggest a target of 1.3026 (S2). If price holds its momentum on the downside we can expect a further decline towards 1.2974 (S3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break below 1.3078 (S1) we can expect the pair to retest resistance at 1.3159 (S1) and a further rise will be limited to 1.3291 (R2).

EUR/USD lower on BoJ, finds ground at 1.3150

EUR/USD weak in Asia below 1.3080
EUR/USD has been accelerating lower ahead of the London opening to just hit fresh weekly lows stalling its fall ahead of solid support area at 1.3030, lows from the first week of Feb.Support at 1.3050 failed to hold a fourth attempt at testing the area, triggering in the process an option barrier and stops clustered just underneath. If the next downside hurdle at 1.3030 is taken out, psychological round number 1.3000 will come into play ahead of 1.2975, Feb 16 low.
EUR/GBP sold off aggressively overnight, and is sitting above 0.8320 support at the moment, trading within a tight 0.8322-0.8332 intraday range so far this Wednesday after erasing nearly all of last week's gains in a singe day, losing around 1%.GBP/JPY is at 130.50 now, just 9 pips below session and weekly highs, little changed since Asian open, despite the fact USD/JPY is hitting yearly highs and highest since April 2011, because at the same time Cable is deep in the red around Tokyo and NY lows. The cross climbs +1.15% for the week so far, highest since August last year.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD fell below our yesterday’s support and the traders that didn’t close their positions last night made a profit of 36 pips! The traders that closed their positions last night they broke even. The pair is under bearish pressure, this is very clear, as both of our Moving Averages are aggressive towards the price trading above it. Our recommendation for today’s trading session is short at 1.3025 (S1) targeting second support level at 1.2978 (S2) and further decline will then focus on 1.2951 (S3). A stop loss should be placed at 1.3078 (R1).

We expect the price to continue its downward move as it is under bearish pressure (daily). This is also supported by the fact that both of our Moving Averages turned bearish and are moving above the price. Look for short positions in today’s trading session targeting 1.5601 (S1) and 1.5575 (S2). A stop loss should be placed above 1.5695 (R1).

If we take a look on the intraday chart we can see that the pair is gaining strong momentum to the upside as we can also observe that the Moving Averages are providing a strong support to the pair. We remain long on our positions targeting 83.61 (R1) and further rise will then focus on 84.15 (R2). A stop loss should be placed at 82.63 (S1).

USD/JPY is quoted in the 84.15 price zone, having pushed above psychological resistance at the 84.00 figure in recent minutes.
EUR/AUD is currently at 1.2454, trading at same exact price as it was doing 2 weeks ago during Feb 23, and earlier on by Jan 25 and 05 when for first time was heading lower to all time record lows at 1.2131. EUR/JPY is currently pushing lower at 109.44 off recent session and 12-day high at 109.63, just 11 pips below of that first multi month high Feb 27 post BoJ intervention late October past year.

AUD/JPY spent the whole of the Asia-Pacific session consolidating below the 88.00 handle, operating within a very tight range between 87.65 and 87.99, last quoted near the top of the range at 87.95, unchanged from the daily opening.he bid tone remains ever present in AUD/CAD following its overnight bounce from 3-month lows.

GBP/USD pressured ahead of key CPI data
EUR/USD has been on corrective mode all Asian trade long, printing lows at 1.3225 and highs at 1.3243, last at 1.3231. Local share markets are mostly in the red, with Japan on holiday, following gas prices rising in China, and comments from BHP on slowing iron demand from China, which has sent Aussie lowest for the week, triggering some USD rally across the board. Oil and gold also trade at session lows while these lines are being written.GBP/USD traded down to 1.5865 during the Asia-Pacific session Tuesday, as risk appetite waned and investors favored the safety of the US dollar as Asian stocks traded in red.
AUD/USD has come under renewed selling pressure in Asia as traders react negatively to comments from an executive at BHP, sliding sharply from it session high of 1.0623 to a fresh session low of 1.0575 and threatening to edge lower.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD gained momentum and formed a higher top, successfully penetrating yesterday's resistance making a new high at 1.3283 (R1). The pair is moving upwards and we expect the price to continue its uptrend but only a break above 1.3283 (R1) will give as a confirmation for long positions targeting 1.3324 (R2). As far as the price is below 1.3283 (R1) we remain flat.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD fell on yesterday’s trading session and was supported at 1.5819 (S1) a strong technical level. The price then rose and was able to close in the middle of first support and resistance level and now it seems that the price is gaining momentum. A break above 1.5913 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.5967 (R2) and further rise will be limited at 1.5997 (R3). Look for long positions at 1.5913 targeting recommended resistance levels.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The USDJPY didn’t made any significant moves in yesterday’s trading session and is still trapped in the 83.00 – 83.81 range. A break in either direction will determine the trading bias in today`s session. A break below 83.00 will confirm our short positions targeting 82.58 (S2) and a further fall will be limited to 81.94 (S3). On the other hand, if the pair breaks above the first resistance level of 83.81 (R1), we would expect the price to retest 84.18 (R2) a year high and further rise will then focus at 84.57 (R3).

GBP/USD bracketed between 1.5855/82 ahead of key UK data
EUR/USD is currently at 1.3230 slightly off session highs, before worse than expected Chinese PMI figures came out at 48.1. The Euro has been relatively well supported specially against AUD given the risk-off round in the Asia-Pacific market after the PMI data, lifting EUR/AUD to fresh 2012 highs at 1.2737. The pair holds onto +0.19% gains since session started, still below 0.618 retrace of yesterday's leg down 1.3285/1.3178. GBP/USD traded a limited range between 1.5855 and 1.5882 during the Asia-Pacific session, last quoted just a few pips below its starting price this Thursday at 1.5867.In the European session ahead, risk event for the Pound will be February UK Retail Sales data due for release at 0930 GMT, considered one of the most important consumer indicators.
The Australian dollar (AUDJPY) is sliding across the board this Thursday in Asia after a surprisingly weak reading of China's HSBC Flash PMI, reigniting concerns of a sharp slowdown in the world's second largest economy, shrinking in March for a fifth successive month to 48.1. The EURJPY after remaining well on course for the 111.57 intervention high, the pair had a violent turnaround on Wednesday, courtesy of heavy yen buying across the board, taking the rate as low as 110.03 post NY close and even extending to new lows at 109.87 post trade balance results in Japan, which came better than expected due to an increase in US car sales and steel exports.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
EURUSD has been moving upwards since the middle of March and the bulls face a major hurdle at the 1.3284 level (resistance), a level that is significant both psychologically and technically. A break above 1.3284 (R1) would suggest a target at 1.3325 (R2) and further rise will then be limited at 1.3371 (R3). On the other hand if the price manages to stay below our first resistance level then we expect the price to retest 1.3177 (S1) and a break below that level the expected target is at 1.3119 (S2).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
The EURUSD fell and formed a new bottom at 1.3133 (S2). After that the price rebounded and was able to break above yesterday’s resistance and it seems it will re-test a high soon. A break above the first resistance at 1.3213 (R1) would suggest a target of 1.3284 (R2). If price holds its momentum on the upside we can expect a further rise towards 1.3325 (R3). On the other hand, if the price does not manage to break above 1.3213 (R1) we can expect the pair to retest support at 1.3177 (S1) and a break below that level would suggest target at 1.3133 (S2).

GBPUSD made a high at 1.5913(R2) as it continued its move upwards since middle of March. A break above 1.5831 (R1) would suggest March high at 1.5913 (R1) a level that has been retested twice but without managing to break above it. On the other hand a break below 1.5784 (S1) would suggest target at 1.5734 (S2) and further fall will then be limited at 1.5654 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
USDJPY moved downwards and successfully penetrated our yesterday’s support forming a new low at 82.32 (S1) and after that rise and closed below of our first resistance. The pair is under bearish pressure since the price made a high at 84.15 (R3) and retested it twice without succeeding to break above it with a resulting reversal and downwards move. A break below the 82.32 (S1) level would suggest a target at 81.94 (S2) and a further fall will then focus on 81.51 (S3). We believe the pair will continue the downward move and will find a strong support at 81.00 (S4) a significant technical and psychological level.
