GBP/USD

Bounce from yesterday’s low at 1.5339, just above key short-term support at 1.5326, regained initial barrier at 1.5465, extending to the levels just under 1.5500 handle, over Fib 38.2% retracement of 1.5714/1.5339 descend, where gains stalled. Corrective pullback found support at 1.5411, with hourly 20 day MA maintaining near-term positive tone. Upside clearance of 1.5500 is required to resume near-term recovery and expose 1.5530/40, initial barriers, ahead of Fibonacci level at 1.5570 and 03 Oct high at 1.5585, to possibly signal a double bottom. Wider picture’s outlook, however, remains bearish, with break below 1.5326 to resume weakness from 1.6617 and expose next significant support at 1.5295, 05 Sep 2010 low.

USD/JPY

Yesterday’s fresh attack at 77.00 barrier was unsuccessful again, as gains stalled at 76.97 and returned to the previous range. Hourly and 4-hour studies continue to hover around their midlines, with 20 day MA, currently at 76.80, capping the upside. Clear break above 77.00 is required to trigger stronger action and move the pair out of the recent range, with regain of minimum 78.00 level to confirm.
