AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7362; (P) 0.7393; (R1) 0.7413;
AUD/USD’s corrective rise from 0.7309 is in progress. Intraday bias is mildly on the upside for 55 day EMA (now at 0.7517) or above. But upside should be limited below 0.7676 resistance to bring fall resumption. Sustained break of 0.7328 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 0.6826 to 0.8135 at 0.7326) will extend the fall from 0.8135 to 0.7158 support next.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 0.6826 is seen as a corrective move that should be completed at 0.8135. Deeper decline would be seen back to retest 0.6826 low. This will now remain the favored case as long as 0.7676 resistance holds.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1553; (P) 1.1569; (R1) 1.1589;
EUR/CHF’s recovery from 1.1478 extends higher today but it’s staying well below 1.1656 resistance so far. Intraday bias remains neutral first. On the upside, 1.1656 will resume the rebound from 1.1366 to 61.8% retracement of 1.2004 to 1.1366 at 1.1760. But we would expect strong resistance from there to limit upside. On the downside, break of 1.1478 will turn bias to the downside for 1.1366 first. Break will resume the corrective fall from 1.2004.
In the bigger picture, EUR/CHF was solidly rejected by prior SNB imposed floor at 1.2000. Considering bearish divergence condition in daily and weekly MACD, 1.2004 should be a medium term top. And price action from 1.2004 is correcting the up trend from 1.0629. Such correction is expected to extend for a while and therefore, we’re not anticipating a break of 1.2004 in near term. Another decline cannot be ruled out yet. But in that case, strong support should be seen at 1.1198 (2016 high), 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154 to contain downside.
