GBP/USD
Break below near-term supports at 1.5445/33 has so far found 1.5404, ahead of strong rally. Immediate targets lie at 1.5552/62 and break here required to delay near-term bears in favor of fresh strength and possible retest of key peaks at 1.5644/59, break of which will resume recovery from 1.5343. Failure under 1.5562, however, risks a lower top and renewed weakness through 1.5404 towards 1.5366/43.

USD/JPY
Dipped back to 82.87 support after extending gains above 83.38 to peak at 83.67.
Fresh gains are under way, with break above the latter needed to resume the uptrend and target 83.90/84.17, possibly 84.34/49 on a break. Loss of 82.87, however, would trigger deeper correction towards 82.67/43, 50% and 61.8% of 81.67/83.67 ascend, where bulls should re-assert.

Res: 83.38, 83.67, 83.90, 84.19
Sup: 83.08, 82.87, 82.67, 82.43
