USD/CHF is already starting to feel the selling pressure, as it has just touched this year's high at 0.97.
USD/JPY refused to fill the gap and kept on gaining ground, as was suggested by the near-term technical indicators.
Since GBP/USD has already closed the bearish gap and the pair is fluctuating near the resistance at 1.6040, the Sterling is unlikely to add to the gains from 1.5950.
The demand at 1.25 continues to underpin the pair, meaning we should not rule out a rally emerging from here.
NZD/USD trades very near this year's low at 0.7708 that was set at the end of September.
The US Dollar is looking forward to extend its advance against the Canadian peer as it is attacking the major level at 1.13.
The 18-nation currency continues to outperform the Japanese Yen rather heavily as the pair has reached more than a six month high today at 142.30 by the time of writing.
The AUD/USD cross has opened approximately 50 pips below Friday's closing price and in the recent hours it has moved very close to the weekly S1 at 0.8695.
USD/CHF has finally returned to this year's main resistance, which in turn is the key to 2013's high at 0.9840.
Since USD/JPY opened this week with an upside gap, there is likely to be a correction at least to 112, from where the pair will be expected to resume the rally.
Given the density of supply around 1.6050, the bias is to the downside.
EUR/USD has already managed to update this year's minimum today, but for now the support at 1.25 can still be considered to be intact.

Today has given the necessary boost for the pair to end the week with gains. Although, until today the pair was losing value, raising the concerns of a possible sell-off.
The Aussie has fluctuated between the weekly PP and weekly R1 at 0.8786/0.8852 for most of the time this week.
After relatively calm week, where the Euro outperformed the Japanese Yen, the EUR/JPY has skyrocketed today.
