GBP/USD
The wide resistance areas between 1.5740 and 1.5780 have stopped yesterday’s bullish attempt again as seen on the provided daily graph. For most of traders, touching the topside of a sideways range could be a potential opportunity for selling particularly when this touch coincides a negative sign on momentum indicators but we do have positive sign that contradicts with this theory as the pair has achieved a daily closing above SMA 200 for the first time since May, 21. Consequently, we prefer standing asid e over intraday basis until we see whether the pair will beat with a daily closing 1.5780 or not.

USD/JPY
The pair continued to head upwards yesterday approaching the key level of 79.55 as seen on the provided daily chart. As we mentioned earlier, SMA 100 would be the technical object for our successful trading journey during this week and the pair becomes very close to it. A break above SMA 50 will confirm and accelerate the awaited bullish wave supported by the positivity on MACD and stability of RSI 14 above the value of 50.00. Over smaller time frames, we can see how Parabolic SAR carries the wave from below reinforcing our constructive outlook.

USD/CHF
The pair is responding to our bearish expectations affected by the Butterfly Pattern and the resistance of the downside wave that started from 0.9971 top. The possibility for the downside move to continue remains valid today, where a breach of 0.9720 areas will extend the downside move to test 0.9655 . Stability below 0.9810 is essential for our intraday negative outlook.

USD/CAD
The breach of 0.9870 areas makes the extension of the bearish move very likely. On the chart, we can see that this breach confirmed also the breach of the main ascending support that started from 0.9405 bottom and that means that the pair might test 0.9799 shown above and possible extend further if it managed to breach the latter. Trading below 0.9935 is considered very negative now and the Linear Regression Indicators support this idea.
The trading range for this week is among key support at 0.9715 and key resistance at 0.9935.
The short term trend is expected to the downside with daily closing below 1.0125 targeting areas of 0.9400.

AUD/USD
We will give the pair the last change to move higher , as it remains stable above the main support for the upside wave that started from 0.9580 bottom. Nevertheless, the breach of 1.0440 with four-hour closing weakens the upside wave while a breach of 1.0370 will cancel it over short term basis. We will depend today on the ascending support shown above and the positive crossover on Stochastic in oversold areas.

NZD/USD
The upside move halted below 0.8135 areas which resides near the Linear Regression Indicator 34, which is a negative sign. At the same time, stability above 0.8040 and the psychological 0.8000 is positive, as it keeps the effect of the bullish continuation pattern shown above. Due to the conflicting signals we prefer to stay aside today as well.
