The EUR/USD started lower but ended the first session of the week posting gains. However, with price still under 1.29, the bearish outlook still remains intact with room toward the next key support in the 1.2660-1.2680 area, which includes support factors: 1) 61.8% retracement and 2) Nov. support pivot. A break above 1.29 can start introduce further near-term relief rally.

The GBP/USD rallied further above the 2013 falling trendline. It now has the 1.5260 high from last week and the 1.5321 resistance pivot in sight. A more aggressive outlook for a pair that appears to have formed some bottoming price action and broke above a TL, the 38.2% retracement level in the 1.5405-1.5422 area could be in sight. Return below 1.5175 near-term support pivot could neutralize this bullish outlook.
Support Levels 1.5122, 1.5149, 1.5185
Resistance Levels: 1.5248,1.5275, 1.5311

USD/JPY is in a very key development, breaking below a key siring trendlien from November when the market started to be bullish. At the moment a near-term bearish outlook is favored, with lows around the 90.85 support pivot first in sight. A return above 94.50 would be difficult in this bearish correction outlook, but if it does, look for more sideways instead of bearish correction.
Support Levels: 91.38, 92.21, 92.69
Resistance Levels: 94.00, 94.83, 95.31
