EURUSD- The structure of the euro's decline suggests a near-term rebound is underway with pullbacks offering favorable entries for short-term topside scalps. Ultimately a tag of 1.25-level may be in the cards with key technical resistance coming in around 1.2550 (38.2% retracement of the decline off the March highs) For a complete technical outlook on the EURUSD, refer to today's Winners/Losers report.

AUDUSD Im currently holding a small short position against the overnight highs from 1.0510- Initial objective 1.0480 and 1.0450 (61.8% Fibonacci extension taken from the 6/28 and 7/24 troughs). Note that a breach above the overnight highs at 1.0536 exposes topside rally to 1.0580.
