EUR/USD trades in 3-year highs 

EUR/USD continues to advance with the February 2022 peak at $1.1495 remaining in focus. 

​Potential slips may find support in the $1.1155-to-$1.1146 zone. Further down lies last Monday's $1.0882 low which may also act as support.

​GBP/USD advances further still 

GBP/USD is on track for its fifth straight day of gains from last Monday's $1.2709 low with the early April peak at $1.3207 being eyed. 

​Potential slips may find support around the late October and early November highs at $1.3048-to-$1.3043 ahead of the $1.3015 mid-March high.

​USD/JPY slips further 

USD/JPY continues to drop towards the ¥140.00 region. 

​Minor resistance remains to be seen at last week's ¥144.56 low. 

​Only a currently unexpected rise above Wednesday's ¥148.28 high would lead to the late March low at ¥148.70 ahead of the 12 March high at ¥149.20 being targeted.​​
