EURUSD Technical Analysis:

EURUSD is in uptrend trading both above the 50 and 200MA. The price has also been seen trading inside the bullish channel until now. The bullish channel is breached, trading below the diagonal support line.

Just right above the current price, there is a resistance that the price is struggling to break; however, we see the price just now touched the 50MA but did not break it, meaning it does not have enough bears in the market.

We see an immediate support level at $1.08501. The price is trading between these support and resistance zones ($1.08501 and $1.10782). The RSI level is at 46.48, signalling a slight inclination towards oversold conditions. Traders are recommended to wait for either the support or the resistance level to breach. If the price makes higher highs and lows breaking above the resistance, traders may go for a sell call as the overall trend remains bullish.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis:

The GBPUSD has been in an uptrend. The price has been trading inside a bullish channel until now, as the price recently broke below the channel. It made its high at $1.26800 on 10th May, which is now acting as a resistance. Both moving averages were below the price, signalling the overall trend was bullish.

The price tried breaking below the 50MA but failed as a Doji candle has been seen, which signifies the bears are struggling to take the price down. At this point, the price was very close to the support of $1.29509; tried breaking it but couldn’t.

The RSI line is at 44.19, which is a neutral overbought and oversold condition. The price is between a support and resistance zone of $1.26274 and $1.29509.

Traders must wait for the break of either the support or the resistance for better trade confirmation and opportunities.
