European currencies maintain declines and head into key support
European currencies lead the losses, with the AUD/USD challenging a key area of resistance after breaking from downtrend.
EUR/USD moves within touching distance of key support level
EUR/USD has continued its downtrend, following on from a rally into a confluence of resistance that includes an inside trendline and the 200-day simple moving average (SMA).
The wider bearish trend points towards the pair moving into and below the $1.1111 low. Should such a move occur, it would signal a continuation of that wider trend, with another upward retracement likely to come back into play before long.
GBP/USD downtrend continues as price moves towards key low
GBP/USD has continued its downtrend, with the post-resignation bounce proving fleeting at best. We are now within touching distance of the low of $1.2605 seen prior to Theresa May’s resignation.
A break below that level looks likely and this would signal a continuation of the downtrend in play over recent weeks. Further downside does seem likely, and only with a break through $1.2748 would the picture look anything other than bearish.
AUD/USD consolidation continues as price reaches key resistance
AUD/USD remains within a narrow band of consolidation following on from a rally into the $0.6936 swing high. That level represents the area of resistance that is being challenged today, with a break and close above there pointing towards further upside to come.
However, until that break occurs, there is a good chance we will see this consolidation phase persist.
