AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7440; (P) 0.7512; (R1) 0.7549;
AUD/USD drops sharply to as low as 0.7452 so far and intraday bias remains on the downside. Corrective rise from 0.7411 should have completed at 0.7676 and larger decline from 0.8135 is resuming. Break of 0.7411 will confirm and target 0.7328 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 0.6826 to 0.8135 at 0.7326). On the upside, above 0.7528 minor resistance will delay the bearish case and bring more consolidations first.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 0.6826 is seen as a corrective move. Prior break of 0.7500 key support suggests that such correction is completed at 0.8135. Deeper decline would be seen back to retest 0.6826 low. In case of another rise, we’d expect strong resistance from 38.2% retracement of 1.1079 to 0.6826 at 0.8451 to limit upside to bring long term down trend resumption eventually.
USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 110.13; (P) 110.41; (R1) 110.91;
Break of 110.84 suggests resumption of rebound from 108.10. Intraday bias is turned back to the upside for 111.39 high first. Break there will resume larger rebound from 104.62 and target 114.73 resistance. On the downside, though, break of 109.91 will turn bias to the downside and bring another fall towards 108.10 to extend the corrective pattern from 111.39.
In the bigger picture, at this point, we’re slightly favoring the case that corrective decline from 118.65 (2016 high) has completed with three waves down to 104.62. Above 111.39 will affirm this view and target 114.73 for confirmation. However, it should be noted that USD/JPY is bounded in medium term falling channel from 118.65 (2016 high). Sustained break of 61.8% retracement of 104.62 to 111.39 at 107.20 will likely resume the fall from 118.65 through 104.62 low.
