GBPUSD- Trend- Bearish

The cable was one of the worst performers this year and hits a 37-year low at 1.0339. The policy divergence between Fed and BOE and weak UK economic data dragged the Pound sterling lower. Any close below 1.2000 confirms further bearishness.

USDJPY- Bearish

The pair lost most of its gains made this year in the last two months. The yen gained sharply after BOJ surprised markets by revising the yield curve. Any close below 130 confirms a bearish continuation.
