Today's Saxo Market Call podcast.
Today's 
Market Quick Take from the Saxo Strategy Team

EURUSD is breaking lower taking out minor support at 1.0655. At the time of writing RSI is below 40 threshold i.e., in a negative sentiment, and Bollinger bands are expanding strongly indicating lower levels. A move down to support at around 1.0481 seems likely
To reverse this picture a move above 1.08 is needed.

Medium-term: The shooting star candle formed a couple of weeks ago (see previous update) seems to have signalled a peak and reversal for EURUSD.
If the pair breaks below 1.0481 the medium-term trend is bearish with lower levels in the cards

The Dollar Index is taking off eyeing resistance and 0.618 retracement at around 105. If breaking above a move to the 200 SMA area and 0.786 retracement at around 109.35 is likely

USDJPY is targeting higher levels. 0.382 retracement at around 136.53 seems likely . 200 and 100 SMA’s will provide some resistance. However, there is no strong resistance until around 137.85 so a spike up short-term to around that levels should be expected.
For USDJPY to resume down trend a close below 129.79 is needed. A close below 132.90 would be first signals that that scenario to unfold.

AUDUSD has broken below support at around 0.6868 . Could find some support at the 200 SMA around 0.6800 but the pair seems heavy . AUDUSD has formed a Shoulder-Head-Shoulder pattern with the 0.6868 as the Neckline and potential target at around 0.6640.
To demolish the SHS pattern and reverse the downtrend a move above 0.7030 is needed.

GBPUSD below 200 Moving average.
GBPUSD seems set to test key support at around 1.1840. 100 and 200 daily SMA’s will provide some support here.  A close below 1.1840 will confirm a Double Top pattern unfolding with downside potential to around 1.1145 support illustrated by the two vertical arrows.
RSI is bearish testing its rising trendline. A break below followed by a move below 40 threshold will support the very bearish GBPUSD scenario.
For GBPUSD to demolish the bearish picture a close above 1.2445 is needed.
