EURGBP- Having halted its corrective declines and turned higher for a third-day in a row, the risk is for more upside to occur. This development now leaves the cross threatening further upside with possibility of returning to the 0.8186 level on the cards. A cut through here will call for a run at the 0.8224 level. Above here could pave the way for a run at the 0.8300 level. Alternatively, support lies at the 0.8104 level and the 0.8067 level where its trendline is located. Further down, the cross will have to break and hold below its trendline support (red) to put its broader upside bias in danger. In such a case, the 0.7960 level will be targeted.

USDCHF: With the pair turning lower and holding below its broken trendline, further decline is expected especially now that it has reversed its corrective recovery. The challenge is for it to break decisively below the 0.9082 level though closing lower below there by a pip the past week. Further down, support comes in at the 0.8950 level followed by the 0.8900 level. Price hesitation may occur here due to its psychological importance. If broken, further decline will occur towards the 0.8800 level. Its weekly RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. Conversely, the pair will have to break and hold above the 0.9388 level to reverse its entire weakness. This if seen will aim at the 0.9400 level followed by the 0.9456 level.

USDCHF: While USDCHF may have halted its medium term downtrend and turned higher on correction the past week, its declining trendline stands in its way on further recovery. As long as the 0.9290/90 levels hold as supports, a return to the 0.9082 level cannot be ruled out. If this occurs, expect further declines to occur towards the 0.9000 level followed by the 0.8950 level and next the 0.8900 level. Price hesitation may occur here due to its psychological importance. If broken, further declines will occur towards the 0.8800 level. Conversely, the pair will have to break and hold above the 0.9290/92 levels to create scope for more upside towards the 0.9388 level. This if seen will aim at the 0.9400 level followed by the 0.9456 level. On the whole, the pair may be recovering but continues to hold on to its broader medium term downside bias.

AUDUSD: As indicated in our weekly outlook, AUDUSD extended its broader medium term weakness during Monday trading today. With the pair now holding below the 1.0200 level and testing a low of 1.0114 level, there is risk of further downside pressure. The immediate support resides at the 1.0100 level where a break will target its big psycho level at the 1.0000 level. A breather could occur here and turn it higher. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. On the upside, the pair will have to return above the 1.0200 level to reduce its present downside pressure. This if seen will call for a run at the 1.0250 level and then the 1.0300 level. Further out, resistance comes in at the 1.0374 level. All in all, the pair remains vulnerable to the downside on further weakness.
