[WindsorBrokers]

Yesterday’s higher low at 1.2960 and clearance of previous high at 1.3044 has triggered fresh gains to 1.3143 so far, extending the corrective upleg from 1.2873 to near 50% retracement of 1.3431/1.2873 decline. Correction on overbought hourly conditions should reverse at 1.3040/20 zone, before fresh push higher. Key near-term resistance lies at 1.3217, 61.8% retracement , break of which would re-focus 1.3431.

Res: 1.3143, 1.3191, 1.3217, 1.3289
Sup: 1.3088, 1.3055, 1.3014, 1.2988






GBP/USD
Maintains near-term uptrend from 1.5343. Clearance of 1.5659 resistance has sparked fresh gains to 1.5782 thus far, with focus now on key lower top at 1.5910. Break of the latter will confirm short-term bottom at 1.5343 and open way towards 1.60/1.61 zone. Failure under 1.5910, however, would signal a resumption of broader downtrend from 1.6297 peak.

Res: 1.5782, 1.5812, 1.5861, 1.5910
Sup: 1.5732, 1.5680, 1.5644, 1.5581





USD/JPY
Continues to trade within narrow consolidative range after strong bounce off 80.92 low peaked at 83.67. Immediate scope remains for further recovery and possible retest of key short-term resistance zone at 84.38/49, to confirm higher low at 80.92 and continue correction from 80.24, 2010 bottom. Support at 82.67, range bottom, is expected to hold, though, further reversal towards 82.30 is not ruled out. Only loss of 82.00 would delay and turn focus lower.

Res: 83.48, 83.67, 83.90, 84.19
