Immediate scope is seen for test of 1.4422/40, 11/09 May highs, also Fib 50% retracement of 1.4938/1.3968 downleg, break of which would open 1.4500/65, 05/06 May lows / Fib 61.8%, next. Overbought near-term conditions, however, warn of corrective pullback, with 1.4340 zone offering immediate support and 1.4250 area, yesterday’s low / 20 day MA on 4-hour chart, expected to hold dips to keep bulls in play.

GBP/USD

Continues to trend higher from 1.6057, 24 May fresh 3-week low, after yesterday’s marginal break above 1.6500 barrier stalled at 1.6510, just under strong resistance at 1.6516, with shallow correction finding support at 1.6550, ahead of fresh push higher. Lift above 1.6500 and clearance of 1.6516 now focuses 1.6550/73, 03/04 May highs and 1.6581, 76.4% retracement of 1.6745/1.6057 descend, with possible attempt at 1.6700/45 high seen on a break.

Sup: 1.6505, 1.6450, 1.6400, 1.6380




USD/JPY

Returns to strength after upside rejection at 82.20 zone triggered reversal. Support was found at 80.70, 16 May low and Fib 61.8% retracement of 79.55/82.20 ascend, with fresh strength breaking above 81.30/60 barriers. Clearance of 81.90/82.08, daily 55/90 day MA’s and previous top at 82.20 is required to confirm higher low and resume uptrend from 79.55, with 82.61, 200 day MA and 82.80/83.09 seen on a break. Failure under 82.20, however, risks lower top and continuation of the short-term downtrend from 85.51.

Sup: 81.44, 81.12, 81.00, 80.70
