​​​EUR/USD rallies further

EUR/USD is in the process of breaking through the September-to-February tentative downtrend line at $1.0430. It is close to the key $1.0461 to $1.0533 resistance zone, which must be overcome for a medium-term bullish reversal to be confirmed.

Minor support lies at the 23 January low at $1.0372.

Major support below this week's $1.0281 low remains to be seen at the January-to-February lows at $1.0224 to $1.0178.

​GBP/USD advances

GBP/USD has broken through the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) and the September to February tentative downtrend line at $1.2488 while aiming for last week's high at $1.2550. A daily chart close above this level would confirm a medium-term bottoming formation.

While Tuesday's low at $1.2333 underpins, a short-term uptrend remains in play.
