EURUSD
The Euro remains directionless and trades within one-week 1.3790/1.3860 range. Triple Doji candle and neutral 4-hour studies confirm the scenario and require break of either side of the range to establish fresh direction. Psychological 1.38 support holds the downside attempts for now, as the price probed support overnight, after breaking below bull-trendline off 1.3789 low, which now acts as initial resistance at 1.3825, along with range’s mid-point. Negatively aligned hourly studies keep the downside vulnerable, while the price holds below 1.3840, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.3863/1.3804 fall, clearance of which to re-open previous week’s highs at 1.3860 zone and revive near-term bulls on a break higher. Otherwise, renewed attempts at 1.3800/1.3790 would risk further retracement of large 1.3761/1.3904 upleg, in case 1.3790 handle is lost.

GBPUSD

USDJPY
The pair regained strength and moves higher, after extension from 101.85 higher low eventually broke above 102.35/38, 16 Apr previous high and Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 104.11/101.31 descend and penetrated daily cloud base, to test the next target lies at 102.71, 50% retracement, so far. Positive near-term studies are supportive for further advance, with strong barrier standing at 103 zone, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement / daily cloud top, clearance of which to re-confirm 101.20/30 base and bullish resumption. Bullish 20/55SMA’s crossover at 102 zone underpins the action, while only reversal below 101.85 higher low and Fibonacci 61.8% of 101.31/102.69 upleg, would revive near-term bears.
