The Australian Dollar has failed at key volume-based technical level at the $0.8100 mark and broken below previous resistance at the $0.7800 level. Further levels of interest are seen in the $0.7600-0.7650 zone.

The Sterling currently trades at fresh post-financial crisis highs, and our forex volume data shows near-term support starts at ¥186. There is little in the way of comparable resistance until 9/2008 highs near ¥197.

EURJPY

Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)

The Euro has failed to trade above substantial volume-based resistance versus the Japanese Yen at the ¥137-139 range. Our bias remains bearish as long it holds below.

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.

The US Dollar trades at fairly significant volume-based technical resistance starting at SFr0.9500 versus the Swiss Franc, and indeed a failure to climb above SFr0.9600 leaves risks to the downside.

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.

The AUD/JPY trades almost squarely at key volume-based technical levels in the ¥93.50-95.50 range, and a sustained move above leaves little in the way of major resistance.

Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.

The EUR/AUD has traded below volume-based support near A$1.4100, and a continued breakdown leaves little in the way of a move towards comparable levels at A$1.3850.

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.

The Euro/Sterling has traded below meaningful price/volume congestion in the £0.7200-0.7400, and our focus turns to the multi-year trough of 0.7010 as subsequent price support.
