EURUSD
The Euro holds overall negative tone, with near-term action moving in narrowing range, following pullback from 1.1421 high that found footstep at 1.1460, 50% of 1.1096/1.1421. Daily 10SMA and Tenkan-sen, capped corrective rally for now and while the price holds below, downside will remain vulnerable. Trigger for fresh weakness is seen on a break below 1.1460 and 1.1420, higher base and Fibonacci 61.8% retracement, to open fresh low of 26 Jan at 1.1096 and next target at psychological 1.1000 support. Close above daily 10SMA and Tenkan-sen, is required to signal fresh upside action, with break of static barriers at 1.1421, 27 Jan high and 1.1458, 16 Jan former low, to accelerate rally.

GBPUSD
Cable remains under pressure in the near-term, after recovery rejection at 1.5220 zone, with fresh weakness under way and approaching psychological 1.5000 support. Past two days close in red, with descending daily 20SMA, keeping the upside capped and slide below daily 10SMA / Tenkan-sen, confirms near-term bearish scenario for attempt through 1.50 handle and retest of fresh low at 1.4950. Break here to signal an end of near-term consolidative phase and resumption of larger downtrend, towards targets at 1.4910, Fibonacci 61.8% of larger 1.3501/1.7189 ascend and 2013 higher base at 1.4830/12. Alternatively, close above daily 20SMA would sideline immediate downside risk, while break above pivotal 1.5220/67 barriers, is required to accelerate bulls for stronger correction.

USDJPY
The pair continues to trade in near-term sideways mode, congested under daily 20 SMA and daily cloud top, with range base being established at 117.20. Neutral near-term studies maintain directionless trade, however, the downside risk increases while daily cloud top continues to cap. Break below range floor to confirm an end of near-term corrective phase and shift focus towards 115.83, 16 Jan low and key 115.55 support, low of 16 Dec 2014, as well as low of short-term consolidation phase, established between fresh high at 121.83 and 115.55. Alternatively, fresh strength and eventual break above pivotal barrier at 118.85, is required to bring bulls back to play and shift focus towards barriers at120.00/80.

AUDUSD
The pair remains under pressure, with near-term consolidative phase under way, following yesterday’s acceleration lower that nearly met the target at 0.7700, July 2009 low, on extension to 0.7718 so far. Strong bearish setup of larger timeframes, along with yesterday’s long red candle, suggests further downside, with break below 0.77 handle, showing no significant supports until 0.7204, Fibonacci 76.4% retracement of 0.6007/1.1079, 2008 /2011 ascend. Former low at 0.7856, also 50% of 0.8023/0.7718 downleg, should ideally cap upside attempts, with extended rallies, expected to hold below psychological 0.8000 barrier.
