GBPUSD

Cable lost traction and ended Friday’s trading in red after strong pullback from fresh peak at 1.6668, probed below 1.65 handle and found temporary footstep at 1.6472. Reversal retraced over 50% of 1.6307/1.6668 rally that weakened near-term structure, as hourly studies turned negative and 4-hour indicators approaching the midlines. Larger picture bulls, however, remain intact and expected to resume higher after completion of corrective phase. Bounce off 1.6472 that probes above 1.65 barrier, would face broken bull-trendline off 1.6307 and 1.6550, above which to signal further recovery and avert immediate downside risk. Break above 1.66 hurdle is required to confirm. On the other-side, limited corrective action would keep the downside vulnerable, as slide below 1.65 handle would bring fresh weakness for retest of 1.6472 and 1.6445, Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.6307/1.6668; 1.6400, psychological support in extension.

USDJPY

The pair enters near-term corrective phase off fresh low at 101.75, after two-legged weakness off 104.83, 23 Jan lower top slid through important 102.84 and 102.00 supports. Overall negative tone, established after repeated rejections at 105 hurdle and acceleration lower, keep the downside favored in the near-term, with fresh leg lower seen on a completion of corrective rally.

Otherwise, break here would sideline near-term bears and shift focus higher. Initial support lies at 102.50, daily cloud top, ahead of 102.00 and 101.75 low, loss of which to confirm bearish resumption.

AUDUSD

The pair remains under pressure, as fresh weakness posted new low at 0.8658, initial target of Fibonacci 61.8% expansion of the wave from 0.9755 lower top.
