USD/TRY appears to have halted at the 23.65 (R1) resistance level, as markets now await the interest rate decision by the Turkish Central bank. We maintain a bullish outlook for the pair and supporting our case is the RSI indicator below our 4-Hour chart, which bounced off the reading of 50, implying a slightly bullish market sentiment. For our bullish outlook to continue, we would like to see a clear break above the 23.65 (R1) resistance barrier, with the next possible target for the bulls being the 24.50 (R2) resistance ceiling. For a bearish outlook, we would like to see a clear break below the 23.00 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 21.50 (S2) support base. However, we note that the Bollinger bands have narrowed, implying low market volatility and as such, should the pair remain confined between support at the 23.00 (S1) level and resistance at 23.65 (R1) level, we may see the pair move in a sideways motion.

EUR/USD appears to be moving in an upwards trajectory, despite correcting lower to the mid-range of the Bollinger bands. As such, we maintain a bullish outlook for the par and supporting our case is the upwards moving trendline incepted on the 16 of June, in addition to the RSI indicator below our 4-Hour chart registering a figure near 70, implying a strong bullish market sentiment. For our Bullish outlook to continue, we would like to see clear break above resistance at 1.0975 (R1) with the next possible target for the bulls being the 1.1050 (R2) resistance ceiling. On the other hand, for a bearish outlook, we would like to see a clear break below the 1.0890 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 1.0815 (S2) support base.
