Unchanged since last updates, the GBP/USD holds in a tight range near the base of the channel, still capped by the 1.5900 area. Technical readings show no actual direction, with indicators standing in neutral territory in the hourly chart. In the 4 hours one the picture is quite the same with the pair trapped in the 1.5820/1.5920 region. Only a break of either extreme will set a clearer short term trend in the pair.

The USD/JPY remains firm above 81.00, consolidating recent gains and also short term directionless. In bigger time frames however, and with the pair standing near the 7-month high posted this week, the bullish trend prevails, with key midterm support now around 80.60: dips towards that level will likely be seen as buying opportunities, while break above 81.45 high will expose the 82.50 area for next week.
Support levels: 81.10 80.80 80.60
Resistance levels: 81.45 81.70 82.00
