The EURUSD Tested Support At 1.3720

The GBPUSD Drops Again

The GBPUSD bulls did not attack the 68th figure yesterday. Instead of this the pair reversed, went down and reached 1.6652, and in the Tuesday’s Asian session — 1.6640, where a 10-day MA traversed.

While the pair is trading above 1.6640—1.6600, the chances to test the 68th figure remain.

Downside Risks of the USDCHF Remain

Yesterday, the USDCHF traded almost on the spot between the levels of 0.8782 and 0.8820. Later the pair managed to move slightly higher and test the 0.8842 level. Nevertheless, a negative sentiment remains and a decline of the dollar can resume at any time. Technically, the pair should rise higher 0.8900—0.8930 in order to weaken the bearish momentum. Until then downside risks to 0.8568 will remain.

The USDJPY Above 101.59 Again

The USDJPY bears failed to develop a downward trend yesterday. Moreover, they could not consolidate below 101.59. During the whole day the pair traded in a tight range, limited by the levels of 101.20 and 101.59. Today, in the Asian trading session the dollar has broken resistance and rose to 101.59. It is early to speak about uptrend resumption. The dollar should rise above 102.83 to do it, but if it resumes higher, the bearish momentum will be somewhat weaker. Another drop lower will lead to testing 100.68.
