The US Dollar has rebounded in a light trading session (President's Day holiday in US), and although lighter volume moves tend to be less significant, there are still levels to respect. USDJPY has reacted to the post-NFP reaction low near ¥101.40, while GBPUSD has retraced from a key extension and former high near $1.6745.
