EURUSD has continued to push higher after confirming a Head and Shoulders bullish reversal chart formation, with prices now testing resistance at 1.3266, the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the 4/12-6/7 downswing as well as the upside target implied by measuring the distance between the head and neckline of the H&S formation. We can look below the bottom of a rising channel established from late June (now at 1.3128) to position for a selling opportunity.

8480 (2009 low) has been broken and focus is now on the all time low just below 80 (1995 low). Former supports, 8520 and 8560, are now resistance. A move above 8625 would begin to suggest that an important low is in place.

 

GBP/USD: Bulls Clear Key Resistance, Challenge 1.60

Strategy: flat  
GBPUSD has cleared the top of a rising channel set from the lows in May  as well as the horizontal barrier at 1.5831, with prices now stalling ahead of the psychologically significant resistance at the 1.60 figure. A push above this boundary would open the door for a challenge of 1.6377.
