GBPUSD: Soaring through our target area at 1.6064/90, to now eye the Q4 2011 peak, 1.6167, which we look to cap near term. But mid-Q2 risk is higher to our 1.6350 retrace target.

EURUSD: Prod above 1.3206/14 eases downside pressure through 1.2975/50 for a more neutral theme. Only above 1.3355/88 sets a more constructive tone.

USDJPY: An expected stall back from 81.81/88 trend/chart resistance to favour an April retest of 80.11/00 support.

NZDUSD: Modest support at .8125/16 still at risk, with a break aiming for better foundations at .8059/50. Through here would set a bigger top.
