The US Dollar has pulled back sharply versus the Euro and other major currencies. Here are the next levels we’re watching.

A sharp rebound in the Euro leaves it trading just short of key volume-based resistance starting at $1.12, and we would need a sustained break above to change our overall calls for continued declines. Further resistance would be seen at June highs and a large buildup in volume above $1.14, while support is now the recent spike-low near $1.10.
GBPUSD
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 British Pound has bounced sharply off of recent lows and congestion support near $1.54, and further resistance is now seen at a major volume-based congestion level near $1.5650. Support remains near $1.54.

The Australian Dollar recently broke down below all notable volume-based support levels, but a continued hold above recent lows near $0.7400 marks support for the fast-falling currency. Notable resistance starts at major volume and price congestion levels at approximately $0.7550 and extends through $0.7800.

The Euro has rebounded sharply off of lows near ¥134 and now trades at notable volume-based resistance near ¥137. Trading above would leave further price resistance at ¥138, while the psychologically significant ¥140 mark would be the next logical target.
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)

The US Dollar has failed to trade above important volume-based resistance of SFr0.9500 versus the Swiss Franc, and attention now turns to important congestion near 0.9300. Trading below leaves 0.9200 as the next near-term target.

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

The US Dollar has consolidated near post-financial crisis highs of C$1.2800 versus the Canadian Dollar, and failure to trade above leaves focus on major volume-based support starting near the $1.2600 mark.
NZDUSD
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 New Zealand Dollar traded below all notable volume-based support levels has also broken July, 2010 lows near $0.6800, but the pair has most recently stopped and reversed just above the $0.6600 mark. Former support now becomes resistance at $0.6800, and to the downside we see the May, 2010 trough of $0.6550 as the next key price floor.
