The US Dollar remains in control versus the Euro and Japanese Yen. Here are the key levels we’re watching.

The Euro trades below key congestion levels at $1.12, and risks remain to the downside unless we see a significant move above the important price level. The psychologically significant $1.10 level remains the next logical target, while notable price and volume-based congestion near $1.09 offers subsequent support.

The British Pound has broken major volume-based support versus the Dollar and now trades notable congestion at the $1.54 mark. Risks remain to the downside on a failure to move above short-term resistance, and subsequent support is seen at recent spike-lows/volume-based support near $1.5150.

The US Dollar continues to hold substantial volume-based support versus the Japanese Yen near the ¥119 mark, and trading above keeps focus on near-term technical resistance at the recent reaction high of ¥121.60. A break above sees little in the way of substantial resistance until considerable volume-based congestion near ¥123.50.

The Australian Dollar trades slightly above the psychologically significant $0.7000 versus the US Dollar, and a continued hold above leaves short-term focus on volume and price-based congestion resistance near $0.7150. Further breakdown nonetheless targets a move towards recent lows of $0.6900 as overall momentum favors AUD/USD declines.

The Euro has broken below fairly significant volume and price-based congestion support at ¥135 versus the Yen, and short-term focus remains on multi-month lows near ¥132.50. Recent support is now resistance at ¥136, and risks seem weighed to the downside given recent Euro losses across the board.

The US Dollar continues to consolidate within a notable volume-based congestion range of C$1.30-1.3300 against the Canadian Dollar, and slowed price gains warn that overall price momentum could reverse. The psychologically-significant C$1.3000 marks important support, and a break below would see little comparable volume support until C$1.2750.

The New Zealand Dollar has bounced sharply versus the US Dollar and now trades at recent price congestion near $0.6400. A break higher would shift focus to significant volume-based resistance starting at $0.6500 and extending through $0.6650, while further breakdown would make recent spike-lows of $0.6250 the next logical target.
