EUR/USD
Struggles to sustain gains after yesterday’s break through 1.4000 trendline resistance, with market being short just under 1.4080 resistance. Break here is required to resume the latest bull-leg from 1.3733 and expose key near-term resistance at 1.4165. Yesterday’s intraday low at 1.3947 is expected to contain corrective dips, while 1.3863 marks key near-term support.

Res: 1.4057, 1.4080, 1.4161, 1.4180
Sup: 1.3990, 1.3947, 1.3922, 1.3863

GBP/USD
Trading in a narrow range after yesterday’s rejection under key 1.6105 found support at 1.5960. Clearance of 1.6105 is required to continue the short-term recovery from 1.4230 and expose 1.6275 and then 1.6320, trendline resistance drawn off 1.704, Aug 2009 yearly high. Repeated failure to break 1.6105 would signal stronger correction, with 1.5895/75 seen as key support.

Res: 1.6079, 1.6088, 1.6105, 1.6177
Sup: 1.5960, 1.5920, 1.5895, 1.5875
