    EUR/USD again meets resistance at 1.2240/50. Holding here in the short term sideways trend re-targets 1.2210/00 and perhaps as far as minor support at 1.2160/50.

    A break below 1.2145 targets strong support at 1.2115/05. Longs need stops below 1.2090.

    Important resistance at 1.2240/50. A break higher is a buy signal targeting 1.2310/15 and the 2021 high at 1.2340/50.

    USD/CAD trades sideways to ease oversold conditions, holding minor resistance at 1.2090/1.2100. Above 1.2110, it can target strong resistance at 1.2180/90. Shorts need stops above the 10 month trend line resistance at 1.2210/20. A break higher is a buy signal initially targeting 1.2255, then 1.2270/80.

    Holding minor resistance at 1.2090/1.2100 in the longer term bear trend risks a retest of the 10 year 50% Fibonacci of 1.2040/30. A break below 1.2010 today risks a slide to 1.1950/30, perhaps as far as 1.180/70.

    GBP/CAD topped exactly at the next target of 1.7150/60 last week. Further gains this week can target 1.7240/60.

    The pair held minor support at 1.7035/25 perfectly last week and yesterday, but below 1.7000 it can retest 1.6955/45. Below here it can retest 1.6875/65 lows. A break lower however targets 1.6825/15.
