EURUSD
The Euro continues to trend lower and looks for retest of key support and near-term target at 1.35 base, to complete 1.3502/1.3699 ascend. The third wave, which commenced from 1.3649 lower top, met its 100% Fibonacci expansion at 1.3520, where the pair entered consolidative phase, ahead of final push to 1.3502 low. Overall negative structure sees scope for further extension of larger downmove off 1.3699 peak, with the wave expected to extend to 1.3475/70, 03 Feb higher low / Fibonacci 138.2% expansion and 1.3440, 161.8% expansion. Stronger corrective actions should find good barrier at 1.3570, previous lows zone / lower platform / 50% retracement of 1.3639/1.3519 downleg.

GBPUSD
Cable trades in extended corrective phase off fresh high at 1.7189, after strong recovery rally failed to sustain gains above previous high and resume larger uptrend. Further sideways trading, shown on larger timeframes, seems to be likely scenario, as the pair failed to capitalize on 15 July strong rally and change of direction, signaled by outside day candle. Near-term structure is weakening, as the price so far dipped to the levels close to 1.71 support, previous breakpoint and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.7057/1.7189 upleg. Break here to confirm negative near-term stance and re-focus lower range levels. However, daily structure remains firmly bullish and sees fresh attempts higher favored, once corrective action is over. Fresh low at 1.7057 is expected to hold and prevent the pair from more significant pullback.

USDJPY
The pair corrects recent rally that peaked at 101.78, with dips being so far contained at 101.44, just above 15 July spike low and 50% retracement of 101.05/101.78 upleg, where corrective actions should ideally reverse. Reversing hourly RSI and positive 4-hour structure supports such scenario and sees scope for eventual attempt through pivotal 101.85, 09 July high / psychological 102 barrier, also daily cloud base, break of which to confirm bullish resumption and open next breakpoints at 102.25/35. Alternatively, loss of 101.40/30 support zone, current lows and Fibonacci 61.8% / previous consolidation tops, to bring bears back in play for possible return to 101 support zone.

AUDUSD
The pair remains under pressure as near-term recovery attempt off 0.9327, 03 July low, lost traction after spiking at 0.9454 and subsequent weakness fully retraced 0.9327/0.9454 upleg. This brought immediate risk at key 0.9320 higher platform and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 0.9209/0.9503 ascend, with break here to trigger fresh extension of reversal from 0.9503 peak, which was interrupted by 0.9327/0.9454 corrective rally. Negative near-term studies support further weakness, however, hesitation ahead of 0.9320 base could be expected, as hourly studies are oversold. Corrective rallies should stay under 0.94 barrier, to keep fresh bears intact.
