GBP/USD and GBP/JPY are best to trade especially as GBP/USD approaches vital 1.3832. Lower to high 1.3500’s is a good target.
GBP/CHF and GBP/CAD remain significant range problem pairs to GBP. Both are middle currencies in the GBP universe.
JPY

USD/JPY trades above its high/low point at 104.63 while EUR/USD trades above 1.2016. This situation cannot hold as either EUR/USD breaks lower or USD/JPY must trade lower.
AUD

USD/CAD higher looks good this week and CAD/JPY lower. CAD/JPY is the problem pair to USD/CAD as it never retains a proper weekly range in comparison to USD/CAD.
