EURUSD
EURUSD struggles for direction after a brief rally witnessed yesterday. The pair has settled around 1.0870, with the key immediate resistance still coming around 1.09. On the downside, the common currency receives the intermediate support around 1.0850, and the downside risks are limited as long as the prices remain above 1.08.

GBPUSD
GBPUSD has been trending higher on Thursday, having exceeded the 50-DMA during the recent trading. However, the cable is yet to confirm a breakout on a daily closing basis as the upside impetus is looking limited at this stage. On the other hand, the daily RSI continues to point upwards, suggesting further gains could lie ahead. If so, the 1.25 handle will turn into resistance, and the prices will target the 200-DMA around 1.2640. On the downside, the pair needs to hold above the 50-DMA so that to avoid a bearish correction. In the short-term charts, there are some conflicting technical signals, pointing to a consolidation in the immediate term.

During the recent trading, the pair received support around the 0.97 handle and bounced slightly.

The pair failed to hold above the 1.39 handle and extended losses to one-month lows around 1.3850. it looks like the dollar has formed a short-term symmetrical triangle on the daily timeframes. If so, the pair could shift into a recovery mode around the above-mentioned lows. In this scenario, USDCAD will target the 1.39 level first. Once above this level, the prices may regain the 1.3990 resistance area. On the downside, the greenback may dip toward the 1.38 figure should the selling pressure persist.
