The USD/JPY pair initially fell during the session on Friday, but as you can see rose higher by the end of the day. The shape of the candle is more or less a hammer, and as a result I believe that this market is going to continue going higher now.

The USD/CAD pair fell initially during the session on Friday, but bounce just above the 1.06 level in order to prove that level to be supportive yet again. Lately, we have been bouncing off of the 1.06 level and testing the 1.07 level for resistance.
The GBP/USD pair had a massive move higher during the session on Friday, breaking through the 1.65 level finally. However, we could not stay above that level, and that just shows that there is a significant amount of selling pressure above that handle.
