EUR/USD

There is also horizonal resistance near this level. Price has moved to the 50% retracement level near 1.1750, which is mid-range, before the election results are known. If EUR/USD reverses and moves lower, price can test yesterday’s lows near 1.1620.

GBP/USD
GBP/USD put in a false breakdown below horizontal support near 1.2910 and today broke out to the topside of a descending triangle. The pair retraced has nearly 61.8% of the move from the highs of October 21st to yesterday’s lows near 1.3055. Next resistance area is back at the recent highs near 1.3175! Watch the important psychological area at 1.3000 for support. Next support is down at the trendline of the descending triangle near 1.2950. Also, be on the lookout for Brexit headlines which could cause extra volatility in the pair.
