USA existing home sales are expected in at 5.21 million per annum, a slight fall expected due to seasonal activity slowing down moderately.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

Upwards scenario: Our technical outlook for the medium-term perspective remains bullish oriented. Clearance of next resistance level at 1.3563 (R1) would enable bullish pressure and open route towards to our next targets at 1.3597 (R2) and 1.3631 (R3). Downwards scenario: We still keep the downside extension in focus. Risk of market depreciation is seen below the support level at 1.3501 (S1).
