Dollar picks up early US session, supported by the final revision of Q2 GDP, that reached levels not seen since ends of 2011, at a 4.6% annualized rate, as expected. Market reaction has been however limited with no surprises, and ahead of next week fundamental data. Short term, the EUR/USD 1 hour chart shows price extending below its 20 SMA and momentum heading lower into negative territory, albeit RSI bounces from oversold levels. In the 4 hours chart the overall technical stance remains clearly bearish, with a break below 1.2700 required to confirm a new downward movement towards 1.2660 price zone.
Support levels: 1.2700 1.2660 1.2625
Resistance levels: 1.2775 1.2820 1.2850

The GBP/USD trades lower within range, testing recent lows in the 1.6270/80 price zone. The pair has shown little directional strength lately, which leaves the short term outlook neutral: the 1 hour chart shows price below a flat 20 SMA and momentum heading lower around 100. In the 4 hours chart the bearish momentum builds up, with price extending below a mild bearish 20 SMA and momentum accelerating lower into negative territory. Still further slides are required to confirm a move lower, eyeing then 1.6220/40 price zone.

The USD/JPY recouped the 109.00 level on the back of a strong Nikkei that closed strongly up, barely 100 points away from this year high. US data however, has not been enough to trigger a break beyond 109.45 in the USD/JPY, still the critical resistance level to overcome to see the pair resuming its bullish trend. In the 1 hour chart, indicators lose upward potential but hold in positive territory, while 100 SMA offers support in the 108.90 price zone. In the 4 hours chart technical readings stand in positive territory but directionless, suggesting more range for these last trading hours of the week.
Support levels: 108.90 108.50 108.20
Resistance levels: 109.45 109.80 110.20
