EUR/USD
Forex News: Friday’s price action revolved around the speeches of Draghi and Yellen, which triggered strong bullish moves. Yellen’s speech didn’t contain any hints about future monetary policy and was described as “boring” by some market analysts.

Technical Outlook
The latest move was generated by the speeches of the two heads of central banks but from a technical standpoint, we can clearly see a bounce at 1.1775 support and at the 50 period Exponential Moving Average.
Two resistance levels (1.1840 and 1.1875) are broken now and the long term uptrend is renewed, facts that make us anticipate another push north in the near future. However, it’s very possible to see ranging movement today or possibly a pullback based on the overbought condition of the Relative Strength Index.
Fundamental Outlook
There are no major economic indicators on today’s calendar, so the pair’s direction will be mainly decided by the technical aspect.
GBP/USD
Yellen’s speech delivered Friday weakened the US Dollar across the board and the Pound bulls capitalized, taking the pair above the 50 period Exponential Moving Average.

Technical Outlook
The pair has created a bottom near 1.2770 support and now, bullish pressure generated by Yellen’s speech, has taken price above the 50 EMA. The current move is likely to extend into 1.2900, where we expect to see some type of retracement lower. Probably by that time the Relative Strength Index will become overbought, thus increasing the chances of a move lower. To the downside, 1.2850 is the first potential barrier and place where we may see bounces if the pair drops.
Fundamental Outlook
British banks will be closed today, celebrating Summer Bank Holiday and no economic data will be announced. This will most likely affect volatility, possibly triggering a slow or choppy trading session.
