"Chairman Bernanke is not likely to give an indication that further easing is imminent. That added to negative earnings surprises in the U.S. may weigh on risk sentiment in the near term, boosting the USD more broadly"
- Barclays (based on MarketWatch)

Pair's Outlook
At the moment we observe a small rebound of USD/JPY from 78.88/85, which is unlikely to extend further, being that overall technical studies are neutral. The currency pair is thus expected to consolidate near the support for now, until a more pronounced signal appears.

Traders' Sentiment
The share of bullish traders has grown up to 71% since yesterday, signifying increasing conviction of market participants the greenback is going to appreciate relative to the Yen. At the same time bearish camp is not replenished with new members and currently forms 29% of the market. Distribution of orders is quite similar, 73% to 27% of buy and sell orders, respectively.

GBP/USD to bounce off 1.5721/32

Even though the majority of indicators pointed to the downside, the Cable has pushed higher through 1.5569/1.5609 and is currently struggling at a subsequent resistance line at 1.5650. However, the latter level is unlikely to be strong enough to contain the pair, therefore we expect a tough zone at 1.5721/32 to become a reversal point and send GBP/USD back to
