USD-CHF @ 1.0461/65.... Minor Resistance at 1.0480

R: 1.0480 / 1.0500 / 1.0550-60
S: 1.0400 / 1.0370-350 / 1.0300

The eventual breakout seen on the pair could now target the overall target of 1.0500-550. The rally in the pair is currently facing a slight Resistance at 1.0480. However, this interim Resistance is expected to break sooner than later.

If a break is not seen in the next few hours, a dip towards 1.0430, and possibly even 1.04 could be seen. However, such a dip should be seen as an opportunity to buy.

GBP-USD @ 1.9796/99... Pressured downward

R: 1.9825 / 1.9850 / 1.9925 / 1.9975
S: 1.9750 / 1.9712-00 / 1.9660

A short rally in the day has resulted in a high of 1.9843 on Cable. However, the Resistance at 1.9850 restricted further upside from there. For now, since a dip towards 1.9800 has materialized once again, during the US session the pair is expected to remain pressured to trade below 1.9800 and dip towards 1.9750, if not 1.9712, the Max Low for the day, could be seen.

Overall, since the bias has shifted to bearish from bullish earlier, one should go ahead an look to sell the rallies than buying dips.

AUD-USD @ 0.9476/80... Testing the 21-week SMA

R: 0.9500-10 / 0.9550-60 / 0.9600
S: 0.9450-40 / 0.9400 / 0.9370-60

After finding Support at 0.9460-50 region the pair had risen only to find Resistance near 0.9500. For now, till the 21-week SMA at 0.9450 holds, there remains a possibility of a rally from here once again. The upside however, seems to be restricted to 0.9550-67 for the day.

This said, Gold has broken past the important Support at 915-910, and a close below 910 today would be bearish for the commodity. This is also bearish for AUD-USD given the high correlation.
