USD /JPY

Attempts to break the region 94.90/95.00 continue, and if a breakthrough had occurred, the primary purpose is likely to become a region 95.30/40. Oscillator and RSI trend OsMA indicator at the 4-hour graph (Figure 1) supports our assumption, showing bychyu focus. However, Stochastics SS confidently rushed down, not excluding the likelihood of a move. At the time schedule (Fig. 2) the picture was in our favor: All indicators are directed upwards.

So, in my opinion, is to wait for a breakthrough 94.90/95.00, and only after this open positions for buying with a close stop-loss.

Support: 94.60/50, 94.10/00, 93.60/50, 93.20/00, 92.85/70, 92.40, 92.00, 91.55, 91.00, 90.70, 90.00, 89.70, 89.00, 88.40, 88.00.

USD /CHF

After considerable growth in prices stumbled on the 1.0900 resistance level, and did not manage to punch him, began to roll, currently testing the area of support 1.0840/50. If you will be able to breakthrough, the primary goal likely would be the level of 1.0800. In favor of such an outcome indicates that, at the 4-hour graph (Fig.3) trend indicator OsMA, as well as oscillators turned down. The situation at the time schedule (Fig. 4) is contradictory: OsMA and RSI moving down, and SS turned up, including the likelihood of re-testing indicated resistance.

In the light of the above, in my opinion, is to wait for a breakthrough this level of support and only then consider selling with a close stop-loss.
