GBP/USD is maintaining its uptrend bias. The technicals remain positive. Hourly support is given at a distance at 1.3458 (11/01/2018 low) while strong resistance at 1.3764 (15/01/2018 high) is being monitored.

The long-term technical pattern is reversing. The Brexit vote had paved the way for further decline. The pair has set up a long-term support given at 1.1841 (07/10/2017 low). A reversal is currently happening. Strong resistance is given at 1.5018 (24/06/2016 high).
USD/JPY
Short rebound momentum ?
-
USD/JPY is bouncing up after its recent fall at 110.30 (17/01/2018). A break of the hourly resistance at 110.85 is now confirmed and may potentially suggest a trend change. However strong resistance remains at 113.75 (12/12/2017 high). The technical structure suggests further short-term upside moves.
-
We favor a long-term bearish bias. Support is now given at 99.02 (10/08/2013 low). A gradual rise towards the major resistance at 125.86 (05/06/2015 high) seems unlikely. Expected to decline further support at 93.79 (13/06/2013 low).
