For Today
- GBP: Unable to push the highs from yesterday through the session the market drifted a little from the opening testing to the lows around the 1.2930 area before moving into the Tokyo session to teste through the 1.2950 level in early trading and then testing lightly through to the 1.2960 areas and holding in a tight range through to the grey hours, Topside congestion likely to continue with stronger offers through to the 1.3000 area and likely stops on a move through opening the chance of minor gains through to the 1.3050 area before running into stronger congestion and likely slowing the market until 1.3100 is broken with possibility of strong offers around the area. Downside bids likely to be weak through the 1.2900 level with weak stops likely on a move through the level however, any dip is likely to see minor congestion around the 1.2850 level before the market stiffens and becomes more supportive on any move through to the 1.2800 area with possible stops on a move through the 1.2780 areas.
- JPY: Another quiet session for the USDJPY with the market opening just above the 108.00 level before ranging around the level through to the grey hours with the market unable to sustain any push above the 108.05 level and limited to the 107.90 downside, Topside offers remain into the 109.00 level with limited resistance to a slight move through the level with increased offers likely to appear in the 109.20-40 areas before weak stops appear and opens the market to increasing congestion on any push through the 109.50 levels and increasing further on any push to the 110.00 level. Downside bids light back through the 108.00 areas with weak stops likely on a dip through the 107.80 area and congestion likely through the 107.50 level and continuing into growing bids in the 107.00 areas.
- AUD: Dipping from the opening around the 0.6895 area and testing through into the high 0.6880’s before moving into the Tokyo session saw selling of AUDJPY cross in early trading and testing to the 0.6885 level to make the lows before reversing and going onto a limited buy spree through to the 0.6910 level before slowing and holding quietly just above the 69 cents level to the grey hours, Downside bids light through the 68 cents level with weak stops likely on a dip through the 0.6780 level and opening the market to a limited move initially but renewing the downside potential through to the 0.6680-0.6700 level with weak stops likely on a dip through the 0.6670 level with congestive bids then likely to be patchy but centred around the sentimental 50/00 areas, Topside stronger offers likely through to the 0.6950 areas with limited resistance behind the 0.6960 level but increasing on any move towards the 70 cents level through to 0.7020 and stronger stops a possibility opening up further gains for the long term.
- EUR: A slight rise from the opening pushing through to the Tokyo session testing the high 1.1150’s from the opening around 1.1150, the move into the Tokyo session saw a minor dip to make the lows just through the opening level before pushing steadily through into the 1.1115 level on slow trading only to hold in a tight range through to the grey hours, Topside offers increasing on a push through to the 1.1170 area and into the 1.1200 area with congestion likely through the level to cancel out any weak stops and opening up a further steady climb into the 1.1240 areas, Downside bids light through to the 1.1080 level where weak stops are likely to appear however, once cleared 1.1060 level sees minor congestion through to 1.1040 before the market starts to become more supportive on any dips towards the 1.1000 levels.

- JPY: A slow drift through the Asian session with a tight range for the most part, falling from the opening 108.85 areas the market tested lower in early Tokyo to the 108.65 level and then held through to the London session, with some early selling sending the market through to the 108.30 level and then continuing its slow drift through to the NYK session holding the 10810 level then eventually moving through to the 108.00 level with the market running around the level in a long drawn out move to the close.
