The Euro plunged below significant volume and price-based support near $1.12 only to trade back to the same point soon after, and $1.12 remains the level in focus as it attempts a rebound. We’re watching these critical dates for Greece and the Euro for next clues on direction.

The British Pound has bounced off of key support at $1.5650 mark, and our bias remains somewhat bullish as long as price remains above. Year-to-date highs just above $1.5900 represent the next upside target.

The US Dollar has failed against the Yen at key resistance in the ¥123.50-¥124.50 range, and a failure has likewise taken it below recent lows of ¥122.60. Further volume-based support at ¥121.50, but trading below leaves major congestion near ¥119 as the next level to watch.

The Australian Dollar continues to hold just below important volume and price-based resistance at the $0.7800 mark, and a failure to close above leaves risks towards a retest of key support in the $0.7600-0.7650 zone. A break above $0.7800 offers little comparable resistance until major spike-highs near $0.8150.

The US Dollar has traded to fairly significant support versus the Swiss Franc at the SFr0.9300 mark, and a failure to stay above this level leaves focus on similar volume-based support near 0.9050. Resistance starts near substantial price and volume-based price ceilings starting at approximately SFr0.9450.

The New Zealand Dollar has traded below all notable volume-based support levels and has broken to fresh multi-year lows. Risks remain to the downside, and trading below July, 2010 lows of $0.6800 seems likely.

The Australian Dollar has tumbled below key congestion in the ¥95-95.50 range, but the breakdown produced a noteworthy bounce at ¥93. Resistance becomes ¥95 while ¥93 remains support.

The EUR/AUD has bounced at substantial volume-based congestion support zone in the A$1.4350-1.4500 range, and a hold above keeps focus on recent spike-highs near A$1.48-1.49. Yet a failure to hold above A$1.4350 opens up risks of a larger decline into the next congestion zone starting near A$1.4150.

The Euro/Sterling trades has held important psychological support at the £0.70, but it has thus far failed to trade to support-turned-resistance starting in the £0.7150-0.7200 range. Focus remains lower absent a break above the key price ceiling.
