If EUR/USD stays below the 1.0600 level, it will head towards the nearest support at 1.0525 – 1.0540.

GBP/USD Tests New Lows As Pullback Continues

GBP/USD tests support at 1.2675 – 1.2700 as the strong pullback continues. RSI is in the oversold territory, so the risks of a rebound are increasing.

A move below the 1.2675 level will push GBP/USD towards the 1.2600 level.

A successful test of the resistance at 155.00 – 155.50 will push USD/JPY towards the next resistance level, which is located in the 157.50 – 158.00 range.
