Sellers stay in control for EUR/USD

EUR/USD attempted to rally yesterday, but has been knocked back again.

Having created a new lower low from the 9 May low, it looks like the sellers remain in charge. A move back above $1.1850 would open the way to $1.1915 and then $1.20, while a drop below $1.1760 would suggest a move to $1.1717.

GBP/USD rally falters

The small rally for GBP/USD yesterday moved back in the direction of the $1.3613 top end of the current range, but faltered.

This raised the prospect of a lower high and then further bearish momentum. Further declines will head towards the lows of the range at $1.3450.
