Being contained by 1.4535 resistance, EURUSD pulled back from 1.4517, suggesting that the rise from 1.4055 has completed. Another fall towards 1.3900 would likely be seen, and a breakdown below 1.4259 could signal resumption of downtrend. On the upside, above 1.4535 resistance will indicate that the longer term uptrend from 1.3837 has resumed, then next target would be at 1.4750 area.

USDCHF Analysis.
USDCHF continued its sideways movement in a range between 0.7769 and 0.8014. as long as 0.7769 key support holds, the price action in the range could be treated as consolidation of uptrend from 0.7067, and one more rise towards 0.8100 is still possible. However, a breakdown below 0.7769 support will indicate that a cycle top had been formed at 0.8014 already, and the rise from 0.7067 had completed, then the following downward move could bring price back to 0.7500 zone.
