17.02.201709:06 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Daily analysis of major pairs for February 17, 2017

EUR/USD: The EUR/USD pair went downwards from Monday till Wednesday and later bounced upwards. The upwards bounce could be seen as a good opportunity to go short, although a movement above the resistance line at 1.0750 would threaten the bearish outlook, and a movement above the resistance line at 1.0800 would result in a bullish signal.

USD/CHF: The USD/CHF pair reached the resistance level at 1.0100, and then pulled back. The pullback is becoming serious because it continued yesterday. Since the resistance level at 1.0000 has been breached to the downside, it might be somewhat difficult for the price to move above it again, which may lead to another Bearish Confirmation Pattern in the market.

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD pair has moved sideways so far this week, and that is how the market would probably end today. However, there will soon be a serious breakout in the market, which would most probably push it to the downside, as the outlook on the GBP pairs remains bearish for February.

USD/JPY: This pair also went upwards from Monday to Wednesday, and then got corrected downwards. The downward correction remains in place; and should it go further downwards, it may invalidate the already precarious bullish signal. The EMA 11 is above the EMA 56, but the RSI period 14 is below the level 50.

EUR/JPY: This currency trading instrument is quite choppy and directionless. It is better to stay away from the market until there would be a directional movement, which would happen before the end of this week or early next week. When the market starts trending seriously, it will be mostly in favor of the bulls.
