As it was tested early this week, the possibility to break down 1.2640 (61.8% retracement of the 1.2456 to 1.2980) reinforce the bearish tone. We maintain a negative tone below 1.2755, looking for extended downside towards 1.2570 (76.4% retracement). USDCHF immediate up-trend is intact above 1.2400. A near-term break 1.2640 will pave the way towards 1.2740 (61.8% retracement of the 1.3241 to 1.1919). Intraday support is at 1.2485. Early this week, GBPUSD has failed break of the 1.8906 (61.8% retracement of the 1.9094 to 1.8601). The focus remains on 1.8710 support that could open the way to 1.8610 (Sept 11 low). A break of 1.8601 would confirm a construction of a down channel from 1.9146 (Aug high). USDJPY went near 118.50 key trendline resistance. Initial support stand at 116.99; where a break would pave the way for deeper intraday losses towards the next key support at 115.60. On the upside, dealers continue to monitor 118.50 where a ???jump and hold??? is required to extend gains towards 119.40. USDCAD has cleared resistance at 1.1245 (50% retracement of the 1.1460 to 1.1029) paving the way towards 1.1295 (61.8% retracement). The pair has traded close to this level and a break would suggest potential for 1.1375. Look for intraday support to come in at 1.1165.
