EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD Pivot Points, TA – Feb. 5 2015

EURUSD Daily Pivots

R3 1.1616
R2 1.1550
R1 1.1447
Pivot 1.1381
S1 1.1278
S2 1.1212
S3 1.1109

 

EURUSD briefly spiked towards 1.15 levels yesterday but eased back from the highs. Price action weakened towards late night yesterday and although we notice price breaking below the rising price channel, the recent declines come within a well supported price range of 1.13215. At the time of writing, EURUSD is likely to see a move towards the daily pivot level, which also marks a retest of the break out level. Should price action see a reversal near the daily pivots, we can expect to see declines in EURUSD. Alternatively, if we notice price moving back into the price channel, EURUSD could potentially prepare for a rally ahead of tomorrow’s NFP release.

USDJPY Daily Pivots

R3 118.75
R2 118.375
R1 117.826
Pivot 117.451
S1 116.902
S2 116.527
S3 115.978

USDJPY failed the inverted head and shoulders pattern yesterday and broke down below the 117.7 price levels. Price action is still trading within the short term price channel and currently formed a descending triangle pattern, which could see a possible break out to the upside. However, the immediate resistance comes in at the daily pivot level followed by the previous price zone at 117.7 regions. The upside targets from the break out of the descending triangle pattern targets 117.94, while a failure of the triangle pattern will see a test back to 117.129 followed by the lower support line of the price channel.

GBPUSD Daily Pivots

R3 1.5353
R2 1.5302
R1 1.5241
Pivot 1.5190
S1 1.513
S2 1.5079
S3 1.5018

As noted yesterday, GBPUSD continued its bullish momentum, rising as much as testing the previous broken support at 1.525 briefly before declining. The continuation pattern shows the consolidation break out from the rectangle shown in the chart. Price action dipped back to the break out level and looks poised for another test higher, this time with a close in the 1.525 levels price zone. From here on we will have to wait for further clues as this completes the test of the broken support level. We can expect a bit of consolidation to come into play and further direction likely after tomorrow’s NFP release.
