The break lower highlights potential for a deeper correction and attention remains on the 50-day EMA at 1.2111. The EMA represents a key area of support ahead of 1.2104, the Jun 4 low.

• SUP 4: 1.3858 Low May 6

GBPUSD traded higher yesterday, finding support at 1.4074. The pair is still trading in a range though below 1.4248, Jun 1 high. Trend conditions are bullish. The probe on Jun 1 of former resistance at 1.4237, Feb 24 high reinforces a bullish theme however a clear break is required to confirm a resumption of the trend. This would open 1.4315, April 18 2018 high. Key support is at the 50-day EMA at 1.4034 and 1.4006, May 13 low.

EURGBP TECHS: Bearish Focus

• RES 4: 0.8777 2.0% 10-dma envelope and high Feb 12

• SUP 4: 0.8433 2.0% 10-dma envelope

EURGBP traded lower yesterday and closed near session lows. The cross remains in a range though. The outlook is bearish following the move lower between May 25 - 28. Initial resistance is at 0.8672, May 25 high and while this holds, attention is on 0.8561, May 12 low. A break would strengthen a bearish case and expose 0.8531, a Fibonacci retracement ahead of key support at 0.8472, Apr 5 low. A move above 0.8672 alters the picture.

USDJPY TECHS: Still Appears Vulnerable

• RES 4: 111.30 High Mar 26, 2020

• SUP 3: 107.48 Low Apr 23 and the bear trigger
• SUP 4: 106.97 Low Mar 4

USDJPY failed to hold onto yesterday's gains. A bearish risk remains present following the recent pullback from 110.33, Jun 4 high. This resulted in a print below former key short-term support at 109.33, Jun 1 low. The move dents the bullish theme and a deeper sell-off would expose 108.56, May 25 low. A recovery would instead refocus attention on 110.33 where a break is required to reinstate the uptrend and open this year's 110.97 high from Mar 31.

EURJPY TECHS: Consolidation Mode

• RES 4: 135.05 Bull channel top drawn off the Oct 30, 2020 low

• SUP 3: 131.99 50-day EMA
• SUP 4: 131.53 Bull channel base drawn off the Oct 30, 2020 low

EURJPY is attempting to retrace yesterday's pullback. The cross remains in a consolidation mode with initial support at 132.89, Jun 7 low. Trend conditions however remain bullish and the recent pullback is likely a correction. Price touched a high of 134.13 on Jun 1 and the extension reinforces bullish conditions signalling scope for gains within the rising channel drawn off the Oct 30 2020 low. The channel top is at 135.05. Firm support lies at 132.52.

AUDUSD TECHS: Stuck In A Range

• RES 4: 0.8007 High Feb 25

• RES 1: 0.7773 High Jun 2
• PRICE: 0.7754 @ 06:45 BST Jun 11
• SUP 1: 0.7646 Low Jun 3
• SUP 2: 0.7635 Low Apr 14
• SUP 3: 0.7586 Low Apr 13
• SUP 4: 0.7544 200-dma

AUDUSD remains in a tight range. The pair broke through 0.7675 on Jun 3 but immediately reversed the sharp move lower. Last week's break lower however does signal the end of the recent broader consolidation since mid-April. A resumption of weakness would open 0.7586, Apr 13 low and 0.7532, Apr 1 low and key support. Initial resistance is at 0.7773, Jun 2 high and 0.7813, May 18 high. A break of the latter would ease bearish pressure.

USDCAD TECHS: Range-Bound

• RES 4: 1.2419 High Apr 27
• RES 3: 1.2351 High May 4 and a key near-term resistance
• RES 2: 1.2240 50-day EMA
• RES 1: 1.2142/2203 High May 27 / High May 6
• PRICE: 1.2087 @ 06:51 BST Jun 11
• SUP 1: 1.2007 Low May 18
• SUP 2: 1.2000 Psychological round number
• SUP 3: 1.1920 Low May 2015
• SUP 4: 1.1842 2.0% 10-dma envelope

USDCAD remains in a range. The underlying trend is bearish although to resume the downleg, the pair needs to clear 1.2007, May 18 low. This would expose the psychological 1.2000 handle where a breach would also reinforce bearish conditions. For bulls, key short-term resistance has been defined at 1.2203, May 6 high. A break would instead signal a short-term base and the potential for a stronger corrective bounce.
