EUR/USD Very little is changed from yesterday. EUR/USD
has continued to move higher, albeit at a much slower pace than
before. The pair has digested gains over the past 20 hours just
below the 50% fibo of 1.2859-1.2456 at 1.2657. A push higher
would challenge the 61.8% fibo at 1.2705. There is a downward
channel forming from the 1.2976 high and this could be the beginning
of a move to take the euro to the upper end of this channel
near 1.2775. The confluence of the 61.8% fibo of 1.2976-1.2457
/ trendline from 1.2976 intersects on July 28th. This also happens
to be the 78.6% fibo of 1.2859-1.2456. Short term support is
at yesterdays low at 1.2585.

USD/JPY USD/JPY continues to probe the downside
following Wednesdays outside day at the upper Bollinger
band. It appears that yesterdays rally to 117.11 was the
choppy second wave of a larger 3 wave correction that could
ultimately take the pair lower to a confluence of fibo supports
notably the combination of the 23.6% of 108.96-117.88
/ 50% of 113.43-117.88 at 115.66/79. A push lower would then
target the confluence of the 38.2% of 108.96-117.88 / 78.6%
of 113.43-117.88 at 114.39/48. Resistance is at former intraday
support / breakout point this morning at 116.54

GBP/USD We continue to hold the view from yesterday
that the first target for the end of this rally would
be where the rally from 1.8176 equals the rally from 1.8090-1.8539
(449 pips) which would be (1.8176 + .0449 = 1.8625).
This is reinforced by the 61.8% fibo of 1.9025-1.8090 at 1.8666.
The pair is overbought on the hourly, so look for support near
the 7/17 high at 1.8394. The pair is currently testing
important resistance from daily highs at 1.8539 (7/7) and 1.8556
(6/16). Due to the rapid move to the upside, meaningful support
is not until todays low at 1.8466.

USD/CHF USD/CHF has broken through the 1.2450
level and currently tests support from the 38.2% fibo of 1.2190-1.2595
at 1.2392. There is an upward sloping channel that is forming
on the daily chart from the 1.1919 low and the supporting line
comes in at 1.2255 (the trendline increases roughly 7 pips per
day). Bullish divergence with RSI on the hourly along with RSI
in oversold territory argues for a bounce in the near term.
The 7/18 and 7/19 lows at 1.2444/47 are immediate resistance.

USD/CAD USD/CAD is rapidly approaching the confluence
of the 38.2% fibo of 1.1039-1.1406 / 7/14 low at 1.1255/66.
If support holds, then look for a resumption of strength from
the break above the ascending triangle on the daily. However,
a break lower indicates that the pair is in for a deeper retracement
perhaps to the 50% fibo / 7/11 low at 1.1221. The 7/18
low at 1.1304 provides resistance.

AUD/USD AUD/USD corrected lower to just below
the .7500 figure before moving an impulsive move higher to .7520.
The pair continues to hold above a short term resisting trendline
from the .7565 high on 7/13. Scope does remain for a deeper
correction on a failure at the .7530 high from yesterday, potentially
to the 38.2% fibo of .7403-.7512 at .7470. This is also former
intraday support. The long wick on the daily candle (Wednesday)
is bullish and a continuation of the move higher challenges
the 7/13 high at .7565.
