Technical Analysis – FX Daily Majors

Today’s highlights:

EUR/USD: Failure to sustain gains into the close suggests a correction back towards 1.4325, but while above here the bias is still to 1.4698/1.4707.

USD/JPY: Downside break from triangle pattern exposes 76.31/30/25 key support, but this looks to be holding once again. Through 77.11 implies a bounce to 77.82.
