EURUSD seeks support

Intraday Market Analysis – USD Rally Accelerates - 1

The US dollar surged after May’s inflation beat expectations. The previous rebound’s failure to clear the supply area around 1.0760 indicates that the path of least resistance is down. A sharp drop below 1.0640 and 1.0540 forced the bulls to cut losses. The RSI’s oversold condition may cause a limited bounce. 1.0460 at the base of a bullish breakout is a key support. Its breach would invalidate the recovery and send the euro back into a downward trajectory. The bulls will need to lift 1.0640 before they could regain control.

USDCAD breaks higher

The Canadian dollar struggles against its US counterpart over red-hot US inflation. A break above the supply zone around 1.2680 has put the greenback on a reversal course. A combination of short-covering and momentum buying is sending the pair to the daily resistance at 1.2880. A bullish breakout could resume the rally in the medium-term. The RSI’s overbought situation may cause a temporary pullback as traders may refrain from chasing after bids. 1.2680 has turned into a support where the bulls may look to accumulate.

UK 100 struggles for bids

Intraday Market Analysis – USD Rally Accelerates - 3

The FTSE 100 tumbles as risk appetite recedes amid growth concerns. On the daily chart, the index has met stiff selling pressure at the double top (7650). A fall below 7520 has triggered a round of liquidation which suggests a lack of commitment from the buy side. 7240 is the next support as the RSI sank into the oversold area. Further down, the daily support at 7160 is a critical floor to keep the index afloat. A bearish breakout could trigger a sell-off towards 7000. 7450 is the closest resistance in case of a rebound.
