EUR/USD is marching back towards 1.10 (high 1.0972), AUD/USD reached 0.7900, USD/JPY is heading back to its post-FOMC low (spot 119.70).
RBC Capital research noted yesterday that the USD is undergoing a series of bearish weekly key reversals (EUR, GBP and CAD) and technically the picture still looks bad for USD.
