Standing right below in early Asian trading, the hourly chart shows the same heavy tone seen early Monday, with indicators below their midlines and price hovering around a bearish 20 SMA.

The GBP/USD continues hesitating around 1.6200, slowly turning lower after posting 1.6308 fresh yearly high past week. The hourly has turned pretty neutral as the pair bounced from 1.6180, with indicators also in neutral territory, a reflection of the lack of conviction among traders. However, the bullish tone seen over the past few weeks is giving no signs of exhaustion: 4 hours indicators head back north above their midlines, and as long as above 1.6160 past week high, the downside will remain limited.

Japanese yen advanced across the board on Monday, leaving the USD/JPY below the 77.90 level now acting as short term resistance. For the short term, the hourly chart shows price in a tight 10 pips range, with RSI flat around 30 and momentum also flat below 100, with 100 and 200 SMA’s coming together around 78.20, immediate resistance in case of recoveries. However, there is no much signs of aiming higher, with buyers now aligned around 77.65, past June monthly low, and stops right below. In the 4 hours chart and due to the straight fall of the past 2 trading days the pair may have found a temporal bottom and attempt a correction higher, yet will face strong resistance at the SMA’s converging zone mentioned above. Price needs to stabilize above 78.45 to talk about further upside movements, not seen at the time being.
