The US Dollar trades near critical support versus the Euro and Japanese Yen, and a break below key levels sets up a much larger selling opportunity.
EURUSD
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.

The Euro now trades between significant support near $1.0600 and noteworthy short-term congestion resistance in the $1.0750-1.0850 zone. A break above $1.0850 sees little in the way of meaningful volume levels until the $1.1350-1.1400 zone, and indeed our bias remains to the topside on a hold of $1.0600.
GBPUSD
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The British Pound trades at congestion resistance at approximately the $1.4900 mark, and a break above sees little in the way of meaningful volume until $1.5150.
USDJPY
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
Traders continue to keep the US Dollar above critical support in the ¥118-119.50 range, but a break lower sees little in the way of meaningful volume levels. The next USDJPY move may prove pivotal.
AUDUSD
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The Australian Dollar has held above key volume support at $0.7550, but it has thus far been unable to clear above key resistance in the $0.7900-0.8000 range. The next break will likely determine near-term direction.
GBPJPY
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The British Pound continues to hold critical congestion and volume support near ¥177.50, but a breakdown would leave little in the way of a move towards key volume levels near ¥172.50.
EURJPY
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
Limited EUR/JPY activity near current price action offers no meaningful volume-based support or resistance.
USDCHF
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The US Dollar trades slightly below key support at SFr0.9600, and a sustained breakdown sets 0.9400 and eventually 0.8900 as the next important price floors.
USDCAD
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The US Dollar has sustained a break below key volume-based support at C$1.2350, and our bias remains firmly towards selling as long as price remains below said level.
NZDUSD
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The New Zealand Dollar trades near key volume-based price resistance starting near $0.7700 and extending through $0.7900, while near-term support is $0.7500. A break higher will likely force a sustained move.
AUDJPY
Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
Modest AUD/JPY volume at current levels suggests there is little in the way of a larger breakdown. Significant resistance remains near the ¥95 mark.

Total Buy Volume Executed, Total Sell Volume Executed, Net Volume Executed (Buy-Sell)
Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The EUR/AUD has broken below important support near the A$1.3800 mark and sees little in the way of a larger breakdown. Previous support now acts as near-term resistance.

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
The Euro/Sterling trades at potentially meaningful support as indicated by volume near 0.7250. A break lower shows little in the way of important price floors, while resistance extends through 0.7350.

Length of bar indicates the sum of Buy and Sell volume.
Data source: FXCM Real Directional Volume Indicator, Chart source: R. Prepared by David Rodriguez
