USD/JPY Forecast: Retreats from one-month high but dip-buying eyed
The USD/JPY pair retreats from the 160.20 area, or a one-month high retested earlier this Monday, and, for now, seems to have snapped a five-day winning streak. Spot prices slide to the 159.80-159.75 region during the Asian session, though the downside potential seems limited.

GBPCAD D1: Bullish Retest at Weekly Structure — 1.9034 in Focus
GBPCAD is testing an important daily/weekly structure around 1.8818 after the recent bullish recovery. The current area corresponds closely with the previous weekly high from 22 June, making it an important support/resistance flip zone. My bullish scenario is based on the market maintaining this structure rather than simply on short-term momentum. Key levels: • 1.8818 — current structural pivot / previous weekly high • 1.8954 — major weekly resistance and first important upside test • 1.9034 — …

GBP/USD: Bears may be walking into a trap
From a technical perspective, the broader structure remains constructive. Price recently pushed into the 1.3600–1.3660 weekly supply/liquidity area, where sellers reacted aggressively, bringing the pair back toward the previous breakout zone. For me, this pullback does not automatically represent a bearish reversal. Instead, I see the 1.3505–1.3530 area as the key decision zone for the next directional move. The latest COT report shows GBP non-commercial traders holding 93,612 long contracts …
