TECHNICAL MARKET ANALYSIS 11th JUNE
EUR/USD pair is modestly up, currently trading in the 1.2190 price zone. The pair recently bounced off the support zone of 1.21500. Day 1 of the G7 meetings will be held today. And day 2 and day 3 will be held on the weekend. The next support zone is at 1.23200. The near-term picture of the pair is neutral-to-bullish, but momentum is still missing. In the 4 hour chart, the pair is still trading within directionless, moving averages. The EUR/USD pair is up but below the 1.2200 figure, with the greenback shedding ground against most of its major rivals. As widely anticipated, the European Central Bank left rates and its easing programs unchanged in its June decision. Look for short-term buying opportunities of EURUSD.
AUD/USD
The pair is ranging across. The G7 meeting which will be held today will bring volatility to the market. AUD/USD is holding steady around 0.7750, as a cautious market mood pauses the US dollar’s decline. Most Australian banks will be closed next Monday in observance of the Queen’s Birthday. So expect lower trading volatility and volume during the usual Australian market hours. The next support zone is at 0.75500 and the next resistance zone is at 0.78000. Look for short-term selling opportunities of AUD/USD.
GBP/USD recently bounced up from the key level of 1.41. We can expect volatility during the G7 meeting.

Bank of England Governor Bailey will be speaking later at 1630 (GMT+8), which will bring more volatility to the market.
