The forex market opened the North American trading session on November 28, 2023, with key currency pairs showing varied technical behaviors. Traders around the globe continue to closely examine the action in EUR/USD, USD/JPY, and GBP/USD as significant market levels are tested.

Below is an in-depth look at the charts and trends that are helping to shape the trading strategy for the day, as well as what levels traders should watch going forward.
EUR/USD: Bullish Bias Above Support Levels
The EUR/USD experienced buying pressure that has pushed the pair above a critical technical resistance level heading into the North American session. The price action points to an upward trajectory, though key resistance levels ahead will test bullish momentum.
Key Technical Observations:
– The EUR/USD is currently trading above its 200-hour moving average. This moving average has acted as a support level during the European session.
– The 200-hour MA lies around the 1.09422 level, and a confirmed trade above it maintains a bullish intraday bias.
– A recent swing high and swing low have helped form a higher low on the hourly chart, further supporting bullish sentiment.
– The November 27 high of approximately 1.0965 acts as the first upside target.
– Beyond that level, traders will eye the psychological resistance at 1.1000, as a break above could invite accelerated buying interest.
– The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is moving higher but not yet in overbought territory, suggesting further upside potential.
– Caution is warranted if the price falls back below the 200-hour MA, as this could negate the bullish view and open the door for bearish pressure toward lower support levels around 1.0900.
Outlook:
The current technical posture favors buyers as long as the pair stays above the 200-hour MA. A breach below this level would shift the focus toward downside retracement.
Trading Strategy Tips:
– Long positions are attractive above the 200-hour MA with a close initial target at 1.0965 and further extension toward the 1.1000 mark.
– Short positions could be considered if sellers regain control below 1.0942, targeting a move back toward 1.0900.
USD/JPY: Consolidation Near Key Moving Averages
The USD/JPY is trading in a tight consolidation range but remains confined below several important technical barriers. Sellers have retained control, yet momentum appears muted during the transition into the North American session.
Key Technical Observations:
– The USD/JPY is trading just beneath its 200-hour moving average, which is acting as dynamic resistance.
– The moving average currently sits near 148.32 and limits upside movement for now.
– The pair is also being squeezed by its 100-bar moving average on the 4-hour chart, around the 148.65 level.
– Resistance from a downward-sloping trend line intersects near these moving averages, forming a heavy technical ceiling.
– The downside remains exposed so long as price stays below these key moving averages, with the next support target around 147.80.
– The RSI for USD/JPY is neutral, indicating neither strong bullish nor bearish momentum at the moment.
– Traders should note the pair’s inability to advance beyond the 200-hour MA as a possible continuation of the broader downward trend established earlier in November.
Outlook:
The USD/JPY remains under pressure with limited near-term bullish potential unless the price can vault above its moving average resistance. Until that occurs, the path of least resistance remains downward.
Trading Strategy Tips:
– Selling pressure can be anticipated on
