​​​AUD/USD probes support

AUD/USD weighs on its previous key resistance - now because of inverse polarity support zone - at $0.666 to $0.664, just as it did last week when it bounced off it. While it holds on a daily chart closing basis, last week's high at $0.67 remains in sight and, above it, the $0.68 area.

​EUR/USD rally stalls

EUR/USD struggles to overcome last week's high at $1.08, above which still beckons the March peak at $1.09. Upside pressure will retain the stronger hand while Friday's low at $1.08 underpins. Further minor support can be seen along the breached downtrend line at $1.08.
