20.01.201601:02 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Daily analysis of major pairs for January 20, 2016

EUR/USD: A bias is neutral in the near term, just like in the USD/CHF pair. The EMA 11 is slightly above the EMA 56, but the Williams' % Range period 20 does not give any directional clue. It might be helpful to stay away from this market now.

USD/CHF: The trend in this pair is neutral in the near-term because it has not made any strong directional movement in recent times. There are short-term upswings and downswings in the market, but a predictable directional movement is anticipated this week or next week, which would most probably favor bears.

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD pair moved downwards by over 110 pips this week. The market came down by at least 1050 pips since the middle of December 2015. There is a strong Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market and the price is likely to continue going downwards, reaching the accumulation territories of 1.4100 and 1.4050.

USD/JPY: USD/JPY traded sideways on Tuesday. We would still like to call attention to an extant bearish outlook for the market (just as for certain other JPY pairs). The price is likely to continue trending further downwards this week, reaching the demand levels of 116.00 and 115.50.

EUR/JPY: The EUR/JPY pair moved simply sideways on Tuesday. The bias is bearish in the near-term and we may see a breakout to the upside or the downside today, owing to the expected fundamental figures, which might have impact on the markets. The events affecting the euro would surely have impact on this cross.
