EURUSD
Bulls came back to play after the price broke above congestion tops at 1.3080. Fresh strength through initial barriers at 1.3121/45, opens way towards 1.3205, 11/07 peak, setting scope for further retracement of 1.3414/1.2754 downleg. Break above 1.3205 is required to open 1.3258, next target, Fibonacci 76.4% retracement and 21/06 high, seen as next target. Positive tone on lower timeframes studies and daily close above 200DMA, supports the notion, while previous resistances at 1.3100/1.3080 offer immediate support, while key support and breakpoint lies at 1.3000 higher platform.

GBPUSD
The price bounced from short-term consolidation floor and cracked the upper boundary at 1.5140 zone, signaling possible extension higher and retest of key short-term hurdle at 1.5220. However, lack of momentum for final push higher, with hourly studies being overall neutral, would question short-term bulls. Failure to regain 1.5200/20 barriers, would signal prolonged sideways trading. Initial support at 1.5100 holds for now, while more downside risk would be seen on violation of range floor at 1.5030 zone.

USDJPY
The pair remains under pressure, following Monday’s rejection at 100.47 and subsequent reversal that dented 99.00 support. Further extension of downmove from 100.47 would threaten 98.22, 11/07 low and psychological 98.00 support, reinforced by 100DMA, as short-term indicators hold in the negative territory and keep the downside favored. Corrective rallies are expected to stay under 100.47 high.

Sup: 99.00; 98.88; 98.56; 98.22
AUDUSD
The pair returned to strength and extended short-term recovery rally from 0.8997 low, with eventual break above 0.9200 barrier, seeing scope for further gains and full retracement of 0.9304/0.8997 downleg. Positive short-term technicals support the notion, however, consolidative/corrective action on overbought hourly studies, may delay bulls, with dips to be ideally contained at 0.9160 zone, 38.2% retracement of 0.8997/0.9259 rally / 20/55DMA bullish crossover. Key upside barriers lay at 0.9304/43 and break here is required to spark stronger correction and sideline broader bars.
