USDOLLAR(Ticker: USDollar):
Dow Jones-FXCM U.S. Dollar Index continues to hold monthly low; need downside break to favor bearish forecast for July
Continue to watch bearish RSI momentum; break below 40 to highlight further declines.
10,406 (1.618%% Fibonacci expansion) remains the next downside objectives followed by the May (10,370) & October (10,354) lows.

USD/JPY:
Breaks below 200-Day SMA (101.61) & slips to fresh monthly low of 101.47.
101.40-50 (78.6% Fib retracement) remains a major hurdle; next downside target comes in at 100.90-101.00 (50.0% retracement) should daily RSI show bearish break.
With Japan Consumer Price Index (CPI) expected to climb an annualized 3.7% in May; may have larger impact on Bank of Japan (BoJ) policy outlook.

GBP/JPY
Preserves long-term bullish trend; ascending triangle formation continues to take shape.
Watching former resistance zone (172.30-60) for near-term support as Bank of England (BoE) continues to endorse hawkish tone.
Lack of momentum to preserve near-term bull trend on daily RSI raises risk for larger correction.
