The current structure is still caling for the upside in this time frame because the pair hasn't break the invalidation zone at 1.5243 yet in order to invalidate our overall bullish outook.

GBP/USD is forming a lower low pattern in the H1 chart and the current price action is calling for more falls in the short term.

Technical analysis of NZD/USD for July 10, 2015

The daily pivot point sets at the price of 0.6766.

Overview: The NZD/USD pair is still moving in a strong downward trend in the medium time frame. Additionally, according to the previous events, the NZD/USD pair has still been trapped between 0.6772 and 0.6700. So, it makes sense to be neutral at this spot for that we expect a daily range of 72 pips approximately. Equally important, the support has set at the level of 0.6691 and minor support has set at 0.6728 since yesterday. On the other hand, the strong resistance had already placed at 0.6772 and 0.6807, which are coinciding with the ratios of 50% Fibonacci retracement levels and the golden ratio respectively.

The NZD/USD pair will give a good sign to sell below 0.6772 and 0.680 with a target of 0.6728. Also, if the trend is able to break the level of 0.6728, it will resume to 0.6700. However, if the trend fails to close below the strong support (0.6700), the market will indicate a bullish opportunity above 0.6700 in the short term. Thereupon, the level of 0.6700 is going to act as strong support. Therefore, it will a good sign to buy during the correction and open short trades above it 0.6700 with a target at 0.6775.

Technical analysis of USD/JPY

USD/JPY is expected to trade with bullish bias. It is underpinned by a rebound in China's stocks on Thursday, the reduced safe-haven appeal of the yen and the yen-funded carry trades as risk sentiment improves after Greece's submission of new reform proposals that appear to be closer to the creditors' demands on VAT and pensions. It raises hopes for positive outcome at Sunday's summit of the European Union members in Brussels. USD/JPY is also supported by the higher US Treasury yields (10-year rose 11.1 bps to 2.317% Thursday) and the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy. But USD sentiment is dented by the more-than-expected 297,000 US jobless Claims for the week ended on July 4 (versus forecast 275,000). USD/JPY gains are also tempered by the positions adjustment ahead of the weekend.

Technical comment:

The daily chart is mixed as MACD is bearish, five and 15-day moving averages are declining but stochastics is turning bullish near oversold levels.

Trading recommendations:

The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 123.30 and the second target at 123.70. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 1121.60 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 121.20. The pivot point is at 1122.

Resistance levels: 123.30 123.70 124

Support levels: 121.60 121.20 121
