EUR/USD
Near-term bulls return to play, as two-day recovery from 1.3264 base cleared initial 1.3370 and key barrier and near-term range top at 1.3400. Fresh strength followed one-week congestion between 1.3264 and 1.3370 and repeated Doji candles, giving tentative signal that the pair is commencing fresh leg higher after consolidative phase. Break above midlines on the 4h chart indicators, supports the current action and sees room for extension higher, with initial targets at 1.3485, 2012 high and 1.3500 zone, 50% of larger 1.4938/1.2042 descend / weekly 200 day MA. Initial supports lie at 1.3370/50, with weekly close above 1.3400 required to confirm bulls.

GBP/USD
The pair remains under pressure and keeps the downside favored in the near-term, after yesterday’s break below strong 1.5800 support confirmed and end basing attempt and consolidative 1.5800/1.5900 phase. With initial target at 1.5750 being tested so far, focus comes at 1.5700, round figure and Fib 61.8% of larger 1.5267/1.6380 rally. Corrective rallies face initial barrier at 1.5800, near Fib 38.2% of 1.5891/1.5255 descend and 55 day EMA, ahead of Fibonacci resistances at 1.5823/36, 50% / 61.8%, while break above 1.5850 would ease bear-pressure and possibly focus 1.5900, previous range top.

USD/JPY
The pair fully retraced near-term 90.23/88.05 correction, as clearance of previous high at 90.23, open way for resumption of larger uptrend. Break above 90.39, Fib 76.4% of 94.97/75.56, opens way towards initial 91.00 target. Previous peak at 90.23, along with psychological 90.00 level, offer initial support. Any stronger reversal is expected to find ground at 89.40/50 zone.

USD/CHF
The pair comes under increased pressure, after basing attempt at 0.9270 zone and subsequent bounce, failed to sustain gains above 0.9300. Quick reversal and penetration of 0.9270, signals that consolidative phase may be over, as the price also broke below 4h 55 day EMA and fresh weakness towards 0.9250 and 0.9200, Fib 50% / 61.8% of 0.9109/0.9387, would be the likely near-term scenario. Any bounce would be seen as corrective, with recent range top at 0.9323, expected to cap for now.
