Daily Forex Market Commentary
The dollar remains under pressure versus the European currencies while dollar/yen made a mild recovery. Given that the pound rallied more and formed a bearish reversal against the euro, all eyes will be on this European cross. Elsewhere, shorting yen on the crosses remains in favor.
Euro/dollar
The euro/dollar edged up to a new all-time high the day on Friday. The overbought pair should see some pullback on profit taking before the next move higher. However, sell only on a stop loss basis.
Above 1.4140, strong resistance is seen only at 1.4260. Next resistance is pegged at 1.4305.
Below 1.4050, euro/dollar has support at 1.3980. The next level is 1.3895.
Oscillators are rising.
NEAR-TERM: Mixed with downside bias
MEDIUM-TERM: Bullish
LONG-TERM: Bullish

Sterling/Dollar
Sterling/dollar made an aggressive recovery from a one-month low of 1.9880 that was reached on Tuesday. It was a tough upmove, which consisted of three strong up days and two sizeable down days. Cable is approaching the tip of a symmetrical triangle and should remain only mildly strong - it still is the weakest of the European currencies.
Above 2.0215, strong resistance follows at 2.0280. If this level gives way, look for a test of the pivotal high at 2.0332.
Immediate support is seen at 2.0160. A break below the 2.0055 level would signal a retest of the 2.0000 mark.
