EUR/USD
The pair continues to be driven by fundamentals, as the latest news from Italy, triggered sharp sell-off. Today’s slide has completely retraced short-term corrective rally from 1.3607, 01 Nov low that was capped at 1.3850, Fibonacci level. This turns near-term structure deeply in the negative territory and keeps the downside vulnerable for further losses. Immediate target lies at 1.3565, 11 Oct low / Fib 61.8% of 1.3145/1.4246 ascend, while MACD on daily chart, breaking below the signal line and approaching the centerline, suggesting broader weakness ahead, with 1.3427, 13 Feb low, coming in focus. However, overextended near-term studies, signal corrective action, with immediate barriers at 1.3655/80, while upside is seen capped under 1.3750 zone, for now.

GBP/USD
Weakens the short-term structure after today’s sharp fall, sparked by negative economic data from UK, broke through strong supports at 1.6000 and 1.5950, extending losses to 1.5929 so far. Further weakness and possible re-visit of key short-term supports at 1.5900/1.5875 is seen favored, as 4-hour studies are breaking below their midlines, with break below 1.5875 to be very bearish. Corrective bounce on oversold hourly/4-hour conditions, should be capped below 1.6030, to maintain near-term bearish tone.

Sup: 1.5929, 1.5900, 1.5890, 1.5875

The downside remains vulnerable, as near-studies are in negative territory, however, temporary base would be found at 77.50 zone, as oversold hourly conditions bring some buying interest.
