Euro implied volatilities ticked higher, in line with the overall uptrend in the longer term measure.  Suggestive of a breakout, the indication was weakened slightly as it compares to an increasing and conflicting bias by the differential.  However, with the spread now resting at an extreme level, a retracement in the histogram is likely.  The notion would confirm the longer term bias and create an undeniable breakout suggestion in the underlying spot.  The suggestion coincides with the 1.2900 figure that has been plaguing the bullish trader.

GBPUSD

In similar fashion, sterling implieds continued their path higher as the differential moved further below the zero line.  Over the course of the week, the spread has turned to the longer term bias, pushing the spread bias and the measure.  However, like the euro, with the histogram at such extreme levels, a tick higher would only confirm the breakout bias as it coincides with the longer term component.  The indication additionally coincides with the 1.9000 technical handle on a breakout.

USDJPY

The longer term bias continues to reign on the Japanese yen as both components are increasingly reflective of the bias.  With short term volatility still in question due to the summer season, it should be interesting if we see a pick up as we head deeper into the second half of the year.  The notion would bring the histogram higher and potentially confirm a positive bias in overall market activity.  Should this occur, look for definitive technical support to be tested along with dollar bearishness.
