USD/JPY
Current level - 89.74
The overall downtrend has been renewed with the recent break below 87.12. Trading is situated below the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 89.50 and 93.54.
The slide below 89.93 was confirmed to be only a corrective pattern and a new high followed, at 90.26. Intraday important support is 89.35 as that level is a combination between a static and a dynamic support and an eventual break below that area will target directly 87.35. Current intraday bias is negative, but the uptrend from 87.35 is still intact.
Minor | Intraday | Major | Intraweek | |
Resistance | 90.27 | 90.77 | 90.77 | 93.40 |
Support | 89.35 | 87.35 | 83.45 | 79.60 |

GBP/USD
Current level- 1.6212
The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated above the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.
Yesterday's break above 1.6320 resistance resulted in a fast upswing to 1.6410, which we believe was the final wave in the prolonged consolidation above 1.6130. A break below 1.6180 will confirm, that the downtrend is renewed towards 1.59+ main target.
Minor | Intraday | Major | Intraweek | |
Resistance | 1.6270 | 1.6410 | 1.6840 | 1.7042 |
Support | 1.6180 | 1.6130 | 1.59+ | 1.5706 |
