[WindsorBrokers]

EUR/USD
Accelerated losses after breaking through 1.3085, 200 day MA and 1.3054, 23 Dec 10 higher low to test 1.2968 pivot. Hourly studies remain bearish but oversold and correction higher would precede fresh weakness. Immediate resistance at 1.3080/1.3130. Break below 1.2968, however, will confirm the end of five-week corrective phase and continue downtrend from 1.4280. Next target lies at 1.2916.

Res: 1.3021, 1.3054, 1.3080, 1.3130

GBP/USD
Break below near-term supports at 1.5445/33 and attempt through 1.5413, 200 day MA, weakness from 1.5552 and turns focus towards 1.5343, key near-term support, break of which will look for retest of 1.5295, 07 Sep 10 pivot, with possible break here to open way for further retracement of upleg from 1.4230, 20 May 10 low. Corrective bounces so far limited by 1.5552/62, and only break here would improve the near-term outlook.

USD/JPY
Shallow correction followed sharply rally that peaked at 83.38 yesterday, with fresh strength emerging from 82.87 higher low.

Only break below 82.00 would sideline near-term bulls.
