EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY edge higher
Small gains have been seen in early trading for EUR/USD and USD/JPY, while GBP/USD struggles to make headway.
EUR/USD targets $1.18
Dollar weakness continues to carry EUR/USD higher, rebounding over the previous four sessions.
However, the overall negative trend remains firmly in place, given the run of lower highs of late. A move back above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.1817 would ease some of the bearish view, and shift the outlook to a more neutral one for the time being.
GBP/USD rally slows
The rebound with GBP/USD has stalled after several days of gains, suggesting a potential continuation of the run of losses seen since the end of July.
A move back above $1.38 would start to provide a more positive view, but sellers will be looking for a new move back to, and then below, $1.36.
USD/JPY edges higher for a fresh session
The recovery of USD/JPY puts the pair on course to test ¥110.50 once more, if the price can hold above ¥110.00, which has acted as resistance over the past week.
Since the beginning of the month the price has carved out higher lows, helping to provide a more bullish view in the short term.
