EUR/USD
Current level – 1.2105
The euro lost quite a bit of ground against the greenback on Friday and, at the time of writing, it is confirming the breach of the support level at 1.2106.. The bearish attack is expected to continue and, if the breach is confirmed, a deeper sell-off towards the next support zone at 1.2050 can be expected.. The first resistance for the buyers can be found at the level of 1.2170, but only a successful breach of the next target at 1.2207 could lead to a change in the current market sentiment. This week, investors would focus on the U.S. data on the retail sales and the producer price index (Tuesday; 12:30 GMT), as well as on the Fed interest rate decision (Wednesday; 18:00 GMT) and the claimant count change data (Thursday, 12:30 GMT).

USD/JPY
Current level – 109.75
During the early hours of today`s trading, the attack of the bulls continues and the currency pair is about to re-test the important resistance level at 109.74. A successful breach here could lead to a rally towards the local highs at around 110.18. If the bears prevail and the resistance at 109.74 is not breached, an attempt for a breach of the lower border of the range between 109.36 and 109.74 will become highly probable. A successful violation could easily deepen the move towards the lower target at 109.06.

GBP/USD
Current level – 1.4112
Friday’s bullish attack on the resistance at 1.4177was not successful and the Cable continued to trade in the range between 1.4101 and 1.4177. At the time of writing, the pair is holding above the support zone at 1.4101, which will most likely hold. Only a successful breach could strengthen the negative expectations and lead to future losses for the GBP against the USD, leading to a move towards the levels at 1.4019. Better-than -expected data for the claimant count change (Tuesday; 06:00 GMT) and the CPI (Wednesday; 06:00 GMT) could help the bulls prevail and head the GBP/USD towards a new test of the resistance zone at 1.4177, followed by the level at 1.4209.
