Resistance levels: 1.5080 1.5120 1.5165
USD/JPY Current Price: 89.25
Consolidating at monthly lows, and despite the lack of strength, pair continues holding a bearish tone, as per yen safe haven condition; Technical indicators both in 1 and 4 hours charts show lack of strength, so pair likely trade on stocks and risk mood; break under 89.20 could trigger stops sending the pair towards 88.50 support area, and even to test past month lows around 88.00.
Support levels: 89.20 88.80 88.50
Resistance levels: 89.60 89.90 90.20
USD/CHF Current Price: 1.0843
Swiss Franc is no doubts the star of the forex market these days, continuing its unstoppable gains across the board. Despite extremely oversold in almost any intraday time frame, pair holds a strong bearish momentum, that would likely extend if Wall Street turns south after US disappointing data. However, with 4 hours chart showing mentioned extreme conditions, pair could trigger some bullish corrective movement before breaking under 1.0800 static support zone.
