EURUSD (1.0784) tested 1.0807 on the upside before coming down. For now, the resistance around 1.08 seems to be holding well and below it, immediate view remains bearish towards 1.0750-1.07 for the near term. Only a strong break past 1.08 can make the outlook further bullish in medium term.

Dollar-Yen (156.44) and EURJPY (168.73) have finally given a break past their narrow region of 155-156 and 168 respectively. Now the pair needs to sustain above the current levels to test 157/158 and 169/170 in the near term.
