EURUSD Still in a downtrend, channel intact, recently in a flag-type formation. A test of the channel's upside could be next - if it comes, it's a good selling opportunity. Longer timeframes suggest a major weekly support area around 1.2650, so there's still more downside left. I've written about this previously - euro does not react at all to bad macro numbers from Europe, as the ECB's reaction function is non-existent - it has done nothing. The only way EURUSD reacts is through movements in the PIIGS yield and implied breakup risk.

GBPUSD has broken a key weekly support, has re-tested and rejected it two times now. Shorter timeframe show the pair currently at a minor support.
