GBP/USD candlestick analysis for February 25, 2011

On a 4-hour graph the GBP/USD is rolling back after an unsuccessful attempt to test the resistance level near 1.6260-1.6280. Nevertheless, stop loss should be placed slightly above 1.6280 as breakthrough of this level will target the pair to 1.6457.
Earlier on a 4-hour graph the GBP/USD pair formed a candlestick combination Bearish Engulfing, which indicates downside movement, confirmed further.
This candlestick combination has formed after the pair failed to break the resistance level near 1.6280, which means that the bulls could not solidify here. Further the bears started to increase their influence.
Break of the Fibonacci correction level 23.6 will prove this viewpoint. In this case downside movement to 1.5800-1.5750, where Fibonacci correction level 50.0 is also located, should be expected.
Bearish divergence on the Stochastic Oscillator supports downside movement as well.

The euro is still observing a buy signal with target level 1.3764, the target level is reached, there are no signs of correction, the MACD is still ascending. The formed buy signal is strong and confirmed, since the Chinkou Span fixated above the price graph and the price is above the Ichimoku cloud.

Upside movement remains while the price is above the Kijun-sen (1.3685), if the price fixates below this line it is recommended to cut long positions. The Chinkou Span is above the price graph, which confirms the current buy signal and indicates bullish sentiment. The Bollinger bands show the continuation of the upside movement, the lines are diverging and directed up.

EUR/USD candlestick analysis for February 28, 2011

The EUR/USD currency pair is rolling back after it could not break the resistance level 1.3853. As mentioned before, stop loss should be placed slightly above 1.3853 as its breakthrough will lead to an advance to 1.4000.
Earlier on a 4-hour graph the EUR/USD has formed candlestick combination Falling Three Methods, indicating downside movement.
This candlestick combination shows that the currency pair had been demonstrating upside movement for several weeks. However, near the resistance level 1.3852 (3-month high) the bears started to increase their influence and a rebound took place.
Downside movement is supported by the MACD divergence and Evening Star and Bearish Engulfing candlestick combinations on the day graph.
Break of the support level 1.3538 proves this viewpoint. Now we should expect a downside movement to the support level 1.3227, where Fibonacci correction level 61.8 is also located.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical analysis

The spot rate has bounced off the lower limit of its short-term trading range at 1.6215 and approaches to the intermediate resistance of this one at 1.6255. A break of these levels would reach the upper limit of the trading range at 1.6330.

According to previous events, the market indicates a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate will have broken its resistance in 1.6255 with a 1st objective of 1.6330, then 1.6360. A break in 1.6230 would invalidate this scenario.
