EURUSD
The Euro returned to weakness and trades near 1.3330 base, following yesterday’s sharp rally, driven by fundamentals, which showed again lack of strength to break above near-term congestion tops and pivotal barriers. Negative near-term studies keep the downside favored, with penetration through 1.3330 base, reinforced by weekly cloud base, to trigger fresh extension of larger descend from 1.3392, towards 1.3247, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.2042/1.3392 ascend. Overextended daily conditions, however, may delay bears for prolonged consolidative phase.

GBPUSD
Cable came under increased pressure and slumped below 1.6690 higher base, on Sterling-negative data, released yesterday. Overall bears are confirmed by loss of strong support and target at 1.6690, with immediate target at 1.6657, 200SMA, being tested and psychological 1.66 support coming in focus. Oversold near-term conditions, however, are expected to interrupt bears for consolidative/corrective action, with psychological 1.67 barrier offering initial resistance, ahead of 1.6735, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.6843/1.6668 downleg/hourly 55SMA and 1.6755, previous lows and descent’s mid-point, where rallies should be ideally capped.

USDJPY
The pair remains supported and moves higher after eventually breaking above 102.45/47 lower top/Fibonacci barriers. Positive near-term studies favor further upside and eventual test of pivotal 103 resistance zone, with the notion being supported by reversal pattern, which is close to completion on a daily chart. Previous peaks and 200SMA at 102.30 zone should ideally contain corrective dips, with potential loss of 102 handle, to sideline bulls.
