The NZD/USD pair rose during the Tuesday session, as the New Zealand dollar continues to be a favor way to express a "risk on" attitude for currency traders around the world. However, we did see a bit of a fight at the 0.8250 level, an area that has given this market quite a bit of trouble over the last two weeks.

The USD/JPY pair fell during the Monday session as we continue to struggle with the 82.50 resistance level. However, over the long term I do believe that this pair will continue to go higher, and I also think that the Wednesday hammer from last week shows that there is significant support at the 82 handle overall.
The AUD/USD pair fell during most of the session on Monday as the jitters involving the fiscal talks in the United States continue to put a bit of a weight around bullish attitude in the market.
