UP NEXT:

The US provides headline figures tonight with CPI y/y. Positive numbers should see the greenback (DXY) remain above 80.50 support and bring downward pressure on AUDUSD, GBPUSD and EURUSD. However with USD remaining above 1.07 it may provide decent long opportunities up towards 1.080 resistance.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

EURGBP: Setting up for a swing trade short?

To continue from yesterday's analysis we have now produced an 'inside' candle which is also a spinning top, below resistance. The fact it has respected resistance and failed to take out the high of the Shooting Star adds extra confidence we may be aligning up for anther leg down.

GBPCHF: Seeking buy setups above 1.53

There is potential for a double bottom to form and target the 1.54 swing highs. I have highlighted 2 key candles which have respected support levels on relatively high volume, to suggest buyers propping up price above support.

The more significant clue of the two is the 2nd candle, as it is the highest volume candle since price rejected 1.53 and the open and close are at the same level (bullish pinbar) to suggest a 'change in hands' during the decline.

We may see a retracement back within the green buy zone, but overall the bullish bias remains as long as we remain above 1.53.

With Swiss Trade balance tonight, a poor number should help GBPCHF bullish bias along the way.
