The common European currency traded below the 1.1050 level against the Greenback on Wednesday, as it had found resistance in the second weekly support level at 1.1043. Previously, as the currency exchange rate slowly moved through the first weekly and monthly support at 1.1121 and 1.1133, it plummeted down to the 1.1043, as soon as the before mentioned support levels were passed. It is most likely that the currency pair will move lower to mark new low levels, as it nears the Brexit low level.

Some hawkish comments from the Fed caused the Greenback to add more than 120 pips against the Yen yesterday, nearly managing to retake the 103.00 mark. Even though technical indicators are no longer giving bearish signals, a possibility of bears taking over still exists. Nonetheless, a tough support cluster around the 102.00 major level is more than capable of handling any bearish development, while gains could potentially extend towards 103.75, where the monthly R1 coincides with the weekly R3 and the 100-day SMA. Moreover, the 104.00 level also represents significant psychological resistance, which remained intact for more than two months now.

The bullion bounced off the rising wedge pattern’s lower trend line and surged on Thursday morning. On early morning, the metal was about to face a resistance cluster from 1,326 to 1,331, which is comprised of both the weekly and monthly pivot points and the 20 and 55-day simple moving averages. Previously, it was possible that the yellow metal will break out from the rising wedge pattern due to the pressure provided by a triangle pattern, and the threat still remains, as the triangle remains active.
