Initial support to watch is 4615.28, the 20-day EMA. EUROSTOXX 50 futures uptrend remains intact and the contract continues to climb. The psychological 4000.00 has been tested.

The break of 1.3412, Sep 29 low, opens 1.3334 next, 1.00 projection of the Sep 14 - 29 - Oct 20 price swing. EURGBP remains offered and has traded through support at 0.8403, Oct 26 low. This opens 0.8356, Feb 26 low. USDJPY has breached resistance at 114.70, the Oct 20 high. The break higher confirms a resumption of the underlying uptrend and paves the way for an extension. This opens 115.51 next, the Mar 10, 2017 high. EURCHF is trading just ahead of a major support at 1.0505, the May 14, 2020 low. A break would expose the cross to a deeper sell-off below 1.0500.
