Following is an overview of technical interpretations of the most common FX pairs:

UBS
* EUR/USD: "Up-trend intact above $1.5074, with the focus on $1.5275 then $1.5304."
* USD/JPY: "Slide to extend with the focus now on 101.70 yen. Initial resistance is at 103.88." * GBP/USD: "Constructive near-term above $1.9763, focus is on $1.9975 -- a break opens $2.0102."
MIZUHO CORPORATE BANK

* EUR/USD: "Consolidating fairly neatly just under the all-time high at $1.5276 and will probably do so again today. Dips towards $1.5000 are seen as buying opportunities for a rally to $1.5600 later this year."

* USD/JPY: "Consolidating neatly above 102.60 yen, close to the lowest levels of the last decade. Expect more of the same day with a small squeeze higher. Rallies should be limited to the 104.50/105.00 area and are seen as good selling opportunities for a drop later this month."

* GBP/USD: "Price action over the last five days is seen as a small `flag/pennant' which should set up for a test of the top of the Ichimoku `cloud'. A swiftly rising 9-day average may add a little upside pressure. A break above $2.0000 should force many to re-think."
