The Euro has traded above key resistance at the $1.10 mark yet failed to gain real traction as it stopped and reversed at $1.1100. Resistance remains at $1.11 and extends through major volume-based congestion in the $1.1250-1.1400 range, while support starts at $1.10 and extends through $1.08.

The British Pound once again trades at key volume-based congestion at $1.5650, and a fourth failure at this level would keep focus on near-term support in the $1.54-$1.55 range Trading above the $1.5650 mark would open a move towards late-June highs near $1.5800.

The US Dollar trades at almost exactly key volume-based congestion versus the Japanese Yen at the ¥123.50 mark, and a hold above leaves near-term targets at major highs near ¥125.50. Yet a failure here would open up a move towards comparable congestion levels starting at ¥121.50.

The Australian Dollar has failed to hold above key volume-based congestion starting at the $0.7400 and risks continue to favor the downside. Support is seen at recent lows near $0.7250, while a break above $0.7400 would instead target the next short-term at $0.7600.

The Euro trades at significant congestion-based resistance versus the Yen near ¥137, and there is little in the way of comparable resistance until spike-highs of ¥138 and eventually the multi-month high of ¥141. Support stands at volume-based congestion near ¥135.

The US Dollar continues to hold below significant volume-based resistance against the Swiss Franc at SFr0.9650, and near-term support is seen at a previous price ceiling at 0.95. A close above SFr0.9650 would leave the April high near SFr0.9850 as the next important target.

The US Dollar continues to trade near substantial highs versus the Canadian Dollar, and a recent build in volume and price-based congestion leaves C$1.2900-1.2950 as near-term support. Yet a break below would leave little in the way of a move towards considerable congestion starting at C$1.2750.

The New Zealand Dollar has reversed sharply and now trades at important volume-based resistance at $0.6700, and a close above would leave little comparable price ceilings until the psychologically significant $0.7000 mark. A failure hear nonetheless keeps focus on major lows close to the $0.6500 level.
