The following are the latest technical setups for USD/JPY, GBP/USD, EUR/CHF, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, and USD/CAD as provided by the technical strategy team at Barclays Capital.

USD/JPY: Our overall bearish view was encouraged by the break below 115.55. We are now looking for further downside towards our initial targets near 113.10/30. Further out we see room towards 110.35.

GBP/USD:
A move below support near 1.4355, the 21-dma, would encourage our bearish view. Our downside targets are towards the 1.4150 area and then the 1.4080 lows.

EUR/CHF: We are bullish and view Friday’s down-turn as corrective within context of the overall rising trend. We would prefer to buy dips towards 1.0980 and look for a break above 1.1200 to open targets in the 1.1330 area.
