Key short-term support in GBPUSD at 1.3303, the May 18 low, remains exposed. Clearance of this price point would strengthen a bearish threat and pave the way for an extension towards 1.3277, the 76.4% retracement of the Mar 31 - May 1 bull leg. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bearish theme and open 1.3159, the Mar 31 low. Key short-term resistance is at 1.3509, the May 26 high.  

EURGBP TECHS: Bear Threat Remains Present 

  • RES 4: 0.8747 76.4% retracement of the Feb 27 - Mar 16 bear leg

  • SUP 4: 0.8576 Low Jul 2 ‘25  

EURGBP is unchanged. Trend signals are bearish and S/T gains are considered corrective. Attention is on key support at 0.8610, the Mar 16 low. Clearance of this level would highlight an important medium-term bearish breakout. On the upside, key resistance to watch is 0.8742, the Mar 31 and Apr 1 high. Initial firm resistance is 0.8664, the 50-day EMA, recently pierced. A clear break of the average would be a short-term bullish development.      

USDJPY TECHS: Approaching Key Resistance

A bull cycle in USDJPY remains in play for now. The pair is approaching key resistance at 160.72, the Apr 30 high. A clear break of this hurdle would strengthen the uptrend. Note that a breach would also cancel a bear threat highlighted by the large bear candle on Apr 30. While price trades between the Apr 30 open and close (the candle body), it is possible that the recovery since May 6 is corrective. Initial firm support is 158.78, the 50-day EMA.

Initial firm support to watch is 184.01, Monday’s low.

AUDUSD is trading at its recent lows. A sharp sell-off on Friday highlights a clear break of the 50-day EMA, currently at 0.7122. The break of this average signals scope for a deeper retracement and exposes 0.7003, a Fibonacci retracement. Note that the bear cycle that started Jun 5 could still be a correction. MA studies are in a bull-mode position highlighting a dominant uptrend. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 0.7201, the May 29 high.
