AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7179; (P) 0.7202; (R1) 0.7237;
With 4 hour MACD crossed above signal line, a temporary low is in place at 0.7165 in AUD/USD. Intraday bias is turned neutral for consolidation. Stronger recovery could be seen back to 4 hour 55 EMA (now at 0.7269. But upside should be limited well below 0.7361 resistance to bring fall resumption. On the downside, below 0.7165 will target 100% projection of 0.7452 to 0.7201 from 0.7361 at 0.7110. Break will target 161.8% projection at 0.6955.
In the bigger picture, rebound from 0.6826 (2016 low) is seen as a corrective move that should be completed at 0.8135. Fall from there would extend to have a test on 0.6826. There is prospect of resuming long term down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high). But we’ll look at downside momentum to assess at a later stage. On the upside, break of 0.7452 resistance, however, will indicate medium term bottoming, on bullish convergence condition in daily MACD. In that case, a medium term correction should be seen first before down trend resumption.
EUR/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 128.70; (P) 128.93; (R1) 129.28;
Intraday bias in EUR/JPY stays neutral with focus on 38.2% retracement of 124.89 to 130.86 at 128.57. As long as 128.57 holds, another rise is still mildly in favor. On the upside, above 129.83 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 130.86 first and then resistance zone between 131.97 and 61.8% retracement of 137.49 to 124.61 at 132.56. However, firm break of 128.57 will argue that rebound from 124.89 has completed, and it’s the third leg of consolidation pattern from 124.61. In that case, intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 124.61/89.
In the bigger picture, EUR/JPY once again rebounded ahead of 124.08 key resistance turned support. It’s also held well above long term trend line from 109.03 (2016 low). The development argues that such rise from 109.03 might not be over yet. Decisive break of 61.8% retracement of 137.49 to 124.61 at 132.56 will pave the way to retest 137.49 high. But, firm break of 124.08 will argue that whole rise from 109.03 (2016 low) has completed at 137.49. Deeper decline would be seen to 61.8% retracement of 109.03 to 137.49 at 119.90 next.
