EUR/USD closed sharply lower on Tuesday as it extended last week's decline below the 20-day moving average. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain bearish hinting that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If it extends this week's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted.

USD/JPY closed higher on Tuesday as it consolidates above the reaction high crossing. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Wednesday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral hinting that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If it extends today's rally, last week's high crossing is the next upside target. Multiple closes below the 20-day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted.

If it extends today's decline, the reaction low crossing is the next downside target later this summer. Closes above today's high crossing would temper the near-term bearish outlook in the market. Closes above this month's high crossing are needed to renew this month's rally.
