EUR/USD extended its gains above 1.0900 to the 1.0950 area. The bias is to the upside, but technical indicators show overbought conditions that could point to consolidation before another leg higher.
GBP/USD rose above 1.2500, surpassing the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). The pair maintains a bullish bias due to the weaker US Dollar. On Tuesday, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Bailey and members of the Monetary Policy Committee will face lawmakers to discuss the Monetary Policy Report.

The pair is facing resistance at 1.3770 and is supported by the 55-day SMA at 1.3660. Canadian data due on Tuesday will show if inflation continues to approach the 2% target or if fresh pressures emerge. The Federal Government will release the Fall Economic Statement.
