EUR Gains on Successful Portugal and Poland Debt Auctions

The EUR rose against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, buoyed by successful bond auctions in Portugal and Poland that made the single currency's fall the prior session look overdone. The EUR rose 0.4% against the USD after an early fall as low as 1.2660.

EUR/USD

The range-trading pattern on the hourly chart continues. The daily chart's Slow Stochastic is floating in neutral territory. However, the 4-hour chart's RSI is already floating in the over-sold territory, suggesting an upward correction may be imminent. When the upwards breach occurs, going long with tight stops appears to be a preferable strategy.

GBP/USD

The pair has been range-trading for a while now, with no specific direction. The daily chart's Slow Stochastic is providing us with mixed signals. The 4-hour chart does not provide a clear direction either. Waiting for a clearer sign on the hourlies chart might be a good strategy today.

USD/JPY

The pair has recorded much bearish behavior in the past several weeks. However, the technical data indicates that this trend may reverse anytime soon. For example, the weekly chart's RSI signals that a bullish reversal is imminent. An upward trend is also supported by the daily chart's RSI. Going long with tight stops may turn out to pay off today.

USD/CHF

The price of this pair appears to be floating in the over-sold territory on the daily chart's RSI, indicating an upward correction may be imminent. The upward direction on the weekly chart's Momentum oscillator also supports this notion. Going long might be a wise choice.
