EURUSD
The Euro is at the back foot in near-term price action, with corrective pullback off 1.3699 peak, probing below trendline support and strong 1.3650 support area, previous highs of 19/25 June and Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 1.3573/1.3699 upleg. Negatively aligned hourly studies do not rule out further easing, with the notion being supported by traction losing 4-hour technicals. Daily close below 1.3650., with extension below 1.3627/21, double Fibonacci support and attempt at psychological 1.36 handle, to confirm daily reversal pattern and negative stance for stronger correction of the upleg from 1.35 zone. Otherwise, fresh strength through 200SMA at 1.3672 and eventual break above 1.37 barrier, to complete corrective action and higher low formation for fresh extension of bull-leg from 1.35 base.

GBPUSD
Cable maintains positive tone and continues to trend higher, with break above 1.71 hurdle, confirming strong bullish tone. Completion of 1.7061/1.6950 corrective phase, resumes larger uptrend and approaches round figure barrier at 1.7200. However, overbought 4-hour and daily conditions require caution, with potential corrective actions to face immediate supports at 1.7100 and 1.7061, previous barriers. Only extension below psychological 1.7000 level and higher base at 1.6950, would sideline bulls for stronger reversal.

USDJPY
The pair regained traction and bounced from dangerous zone after bottoming at 101.22. Fresh strength retraced nearly 76.4% of the slide from 102.15, as the price approaches psychological 102 barrier. Sustained break here to signal further recovery for test of breakpoints at 102.15/35, regain of which to confirm recovery. Studies of lower timeframes are positive and support further upside, however, overbought hourly conditions may delay rally for consolidation. Previous high at 101.64, also Fibonacci 38.2% of the rally from 101.22, reinforced by hourly 55SMA, should hold deeper dips.

AUDUSD
The pair slumped after fresh acceleration above previous key level at 0.9460 stalled at 0.9503. Resumption of larger upleg off 0.92 higher base is now sidelined, as fresh bearish acceleration took out important supports and attempts below bull-trendline off 0.9209 low, also higher base and 50% of 0.9209/0.9503 upleg at 0.9355. With near-term technicals establishing in the negative territory, further weakness and test of the breakpoint at 1.6920, is seen likely. This will also confirm near-term top at 0.9503, ahead of further easing.
