EURUSD
The Euro remains under pressure and returns close to yesterday’s low at 1.1070. Rising daily 20SMA, which contained yesterday’s weakness, still acts as support at 1.1176.
Bounce off 1.1170 was capped by the base of hourly Ichimoku cloud, spanned between 1.1136 and 1.1148, which marked initial resistance and was expected to limit upside attempts.
Near-term studies remain bearish and favor further weakness, with break below 20SMA, needed to expose more significant 1.1055/41 supports, 200SMA / weekly Ichimoku cloud top, break of which to confirm reversal.
The pair is on track for bearish weekly close, which will mark the first negative week after three-week rally and keep the downside pressured, together with yesterday’s close below 1.1120, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.0709/1.1374 rally.
Alternative scenario requires return above hourly cloud to sideline immediate downside threats, while close above psychological 1.1200 barrier, reinforced by daily 10SMA, will revive bulls.

GBPUSD
Cable is at the back foot, following yesterday’s upside rejection just under 1.44 barrier, capped by daily 20SMA / hourly Ichimoku cloud top and subsequent easing that closed below cracked daily 30SMA at 1.4370, which remains strong resistance.
Bearish daily studies keep focus at the downside, with upticks seen as selling opportunities and to be ideally capped under 30SMA.
The pair is also on track for strong weekly bearish close, which maintains downside pressure.
Extended near-term consolidation is expected to precede fresh bears, with attempts through initial supports at 1.4254/33, lows of past two days, to open way for full retracement of 1.4078/1.4665 recovery rally.
Only close above 1.4405, daily 10SMA would sideline near-term bears.

Weekly candle is red, with long upper shadow, which confirms strong bearish pressure, built on past two weeks steep descend.
