Credit Suisse and JP Morgan about EUR/USD and GBP/USD

hello,

Yesterday appeared on the market two recommendations of investment banks: Credit Suisse and JP Morgan. I decided to put them on my blog.

But before, the first reminder My analysis. <EUR/USD - my analysis>. Today, I decided to low my stop to the 1.3650 level.

JP Morgan

EUR/USD

"As long as EUR/USD doesn't show a second consecutive lower close below the Ichimoku-cloud (currently at 1.3618) the door remains open for an extended wave 2 rebound to 1.3805/12 (daily breakout line/minor 76.4 %), where a good risk reward selling opportunity would be given", says JP Morgan.

"Only a decisive hourly close above 1.3812 (i.e. above 1.3840) would question the broad bear view which would receive confirmation via breaks below 1.3508 and 1.3468/36 (daily trend/daily Ichimoku-lagging/minor 38.2 %)," JPM adds.

GBP/USD

In Cable, JPM thinks "that in order to resume the broader up-trend, it requires a decisive break and hourly close above 1.6518/42 (pivot/minor 76.4 %, i.e. above 1.6570)."

 "As long as such a break has not materialized though, the market remains vulnerable to another test of key-support between 1.6327 (minor 38.2 %) and 1.6272/51 (weekly triangle/c = a) which if taken out would call for a minimum decline to the lower T-junction at 1.6031 (38.2 % on higher scale)," JPM projects. 

Credit Suisse

EUR/USD

"EUR/USD’s consolidation has found fresh selling interest ahead of the 1.3721/29 barrier – 50% retracement of the recent fall – which leaves topping pressure in place", notes Credit Suisse.

"Removal of trendline support at 1.3595/72 is needed to get the downtrend back on track for price and 61.8% retracement support at 1.3528/23 next," CS projects.

"Below here targets the 38.2% retracement of the July/December rally at 1.3458, with the target from the top set lower at 1.3357. Near-term resistance moves to 1.3700. Above 1.3721/29 aims at price and 61.8% retracement hurdles at 1.3742/62, which ideally caps to keep topping pressure intact," CS adds.

 "In line with this view, CS recommends selling EUR/USD strength to 1.3700/20, with a stop above 1.3778, and a target at 1.3460."
