Further support and resistance are given at 0.7638 (15/12/2018 low) and 0.7999 (17/01/2018 high). The technical structure suggests continued short-term downward moves.
In the long-term, the upward trend slows down after failing to reach key resistance at 0.8164 (14/05/2015 low). Key support stands at 0.6009 (31/10/2008 low). A break of the key resistance at 0.8164 (14/05/2015 high) is needed to invalidate our long-term bearish view.

Key support lies at 0.9072 (07/05/2015 low) while resistance at 1.0344 (15/12/2016 high) is distanced. The technical structure favours a long term bullish bias since the unpeg in January 2015
USD/JPY Weakening
USD/JPY weakens back after reaching 106.46 and currently trading at the 105.75 range. Hourly resistance at 107.27 (25/02/2018 high) is distanced while hourly support at 104.97 (11/10/2016 high) approaches. The bearish pattern started in January 2018 is maintained. Hourly support is given at 106.35 (16/02/2018 high). The short-term technical structure suggests further short-term decrease.
We favor a long-term bearish bias. Support remains at 101.20 (09/11/2016 low). A gradual rise toward the major resistance at 125.86 (05/06/2015 high) seems unlikely. Expected to decline further support at 101.20 (09/11/2016 low).

EUR/GBP 1H Chart: Set For Long-Term Surge
The common European currency has been trading in a large-scale triangle against the British Pound.
Following a breakout from the upper trend-line, this suggests that the bullish sentiment could continue dominating the exchange rate. However, it is important to note that the currency pair is likely to find a resistance at the weekly pivot point at 0.8949.
If the EUR/GBP pair manages to breach the aforementioned resistance level, the rate could be heading for a long-term surge. In addition, technical indicators favour bulls to grow stronger.
USD/CHF 4H Chart: Pair Fleshes Mixed Signal
The Greenback has started to gain strength against the Swiss Franc after the pair hit the lower boundary of a dominant channel. However, the surge was stopped by the weekly resistance at 0.9472.
Given that the currency pair has breached a resistance cluster set by the weekly and the monthly PPs with the combination of the 55– and 100-hour SMAs near 0.9387, the rate is likely to continue moving north for a test of the upper border of the dominant channel.
As for the nearest future, the USD/CHF pair could continue trading along the junior pattern during the following trading sessions.
