​​​EUR/USD comes off six-month high

EUR/USD has reached the November peak at $1.0936 from where it short-term consolidates before moving on to the psychological $1.1000 region.

Potential support remains to be seen along the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.0721.

​USD/JPY resumes its descent

USD/JPY once again has the late September ¥146.49 high in its sights, below which lies the late August low at ¥143.45.

Immediate resistance sits between the December to late February lows at ¥148.57 to ¥148.65 ahead of Wednesday's ¥149.20 high.

Only a currently unexpected bullish reversal and rise above the early March high at ¥151.30 would question our medium-term bearish view.
