EUR/USD: The inability of EUR/USD to go further higher has resulted in a weak bearish movement. The price is now threatening to test the support line at 1.0850, which is most likely to occur. According to all indications, the bears would succeed in driving EUR/USD further down this week.

USD/CHF: The sudden weakness in the franc caused this pair to break out of its long-term base last week. Because of the bullish breakout, there is now a bullish signal in the market, and there is a tendency that the market could trend further higher from here.

GBP/USD: The GBP/USD moved down by 170 pips last week, closing below the distribution territory at 1.4750.

The price might test the accumulation territories at 1.4700 and 1.4650 this week.

A closer look at the chart shows that the price consolidated to the downside at the close of trading activities last week, testifying to the ongoing weakness in the market. It is possible that the market would continue moving further downwards this week.

EUR/JPY: The weakness in the euro caused the EUR/JPY to drop by 150 pips last week. This cross' movements would be determined by whatever happens to the euro. The price might attain the demand zones at 130.00 and 129.50 before the end of this week because there is a bearish confirmation pattern in the market.
