The EURUSD is continuing to hold its uptrend on the weekly chart after this last retracement. We are starting to come into an area where buyers on the weekly chart may become interested. The daily chart pulled back and tested the 1.3700 level and bounced a little bit. If the EURUSD takes out the 1.3775 level look for a quick move to the 1.3800 in the near term. The weekly chart on the GBPUSD remains bullish. Last week steady buyers came into the market. Watch for the GBPUSD to continue to move higher but wait for a possible PBS on the 4 hour chart near the 1.6600 area. The AUDUSD had a fairly bullish week last week as prices moved into the 40 ma on the weekly chart and the .9300 area. We saw sellers react to these levels as prices began to come off on Friday. Look for the daily chart to possible kick off a retracement to the .9100 to the .9130 area. The USDCAD still looks like the uptrend on the weekly chart is still intact after this recent retracement. The weekly chart may want to continue to come off further or base out. The Daily chart retraced and tested the 1.100 level last week. The hourly chart shows a strong amount of buyers coming into the market at the 1.100 area. Watch for the USDCAD in the short term to make another effort higher to the 1.1100 level.

Last week the EURUSD broke to the downside completing the formation of a daily breakout failure. There will likely be some follow through to the downside, so look for shorting opportunities. The next daily support levels are in the 1.3700 and 1.3650 areas. Weekly support is in the 1.3500 area. Last week the GBPUSD pound daily broke support and started to get some follow through to the daily double top in the area of weekly and monthly resistance. There is a void down to support in the 1.6250 - 1.6300 area, so look for shorting opportunities until we reach this level. At that level there will likely be a bounce or stall. Last week the AUDUSD daily continued to consolidate bullishly making relatively equal highs and another higher low. The daily and weekly charts still look to be forming a shakeout pattern so focus on long opportunities. It may continue to consolidate some more, so the conservative play is to wait for a break above resistance in the 0.9175 area and then look for a pullback to support to get long. The USDJPY bounced at support last Wednesday on the Fed announcement, and then stalled in the area of a 50% retracement on the daily chart. From here we could go either way. If Friday's bottoming tail holds, we could get follow through to the upside to retest the 103.75 area. If we move down from here and retest last week's low, then it will start looking like a breakout failure/shakeout on the weekly, and a break of the weekly base low could see a move down to the next weekly support around 97.00.
