EURUSD
The Euro maintains positive near-term tone, which resulted in three-day recovery that broke above daily Ichimoku cloud base and cracked important 1.09 barrier. Renewed attempts to sustain break above 1.09 are under way, as fresh rally from 1.0868, session low, so far tested 1.0925, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.1058/1.0709 downleg.
Structure of daily studies shows mixed setup of MA’s, while indicators hold in neutrality zone and Ichimoku studies maintaining positive setup.
Daily close above 1.0925 is needed to resume recovery towards key barriers at 1.0980 zone, short-term congestion tops and 1.1006, daily Ichimoku cloud top.
On the downside, pivotal support lies at 1.0860, daily cloud base, reinforced by daily 20SMA.
Break and close below here will weaken near-term structure.

USDJPY
The pair consolidates under yesterday’s fresh high at 119.04, posted on a probe of recovery rally from 115.95, above pivotal 118.93/119 resistance zone, Fibonacci 38.2% of 123.74/115.95 descend / psychological support.
Rally was capped by descending daily 30SMA, with break and close above 118.93 barrier, required to signal further recovery and expose next targets at 119.53, Fibonacci 76.4% of 120.64/115.95 and psychological 120 barrier.
Bullishly aligned near-term studies are supportive, along with north-heading daily indicators.
On the other side, daily slow Stochastic is overbought and may trigger fresh easing, if bearish signal will be generated.
Daily 20SMA offers pivotal support at 118.13.
Res: 118.93; 119.10; 119.53; 120.00
Sup: 118.39; 118.13; 117.93; 117.64
USDCAD
The pair shows initial signals of basing, given by long-tailed yesterday’s candle, despite posting fresh, marginally lower low at 1.4027.
Narrow consolidation is under way, showing no significant reaction on stronger oil, so far.
Daily studies show mixed setup – conflicting MA’s; negative momentum and oversold slow Stochastic, which is still heading south.
More room is still seen at the downside, but while pivotal support at 1.3978 holds, Fibonacci 38.2% of 2829/1.4688 rally, possibility of near-term basing attempts will remain in play.
Recovery needs confirmation on break through hourly cloud , spanned between 1.4142 and 1.4183, to expose next upside breakpoint at 1.4221, daily 20SMA.
Otherwise sustained break below 1.3978 pivot, will trigger further correction and expose next significant support at 1.3800, 28 Dec / 04 Jan higher base.

AUDUSD
The pair jumped to 0.7081 and tested daily 30SMA, on a rally from 0.7005, overnight’s correction low. Extension of the fourth, corrective wave, from 0.6826, would look for test of psychological 0.7100 barrier and strong 0.7134 resistance, Fibonacci 61.8% of 0.7325/0.6825 downleg.
Firm bearish tone prevails on lower timeframes, with today’s action being contained by daily 20SMA at 0.7008, now acting as pivotal support.
On the other side, daily slow Stochastic is entering overbought territory and giving initial signal of consolidation in the near-term.
