AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7851; (P) 0.7865; (R1) 0.7885;
AUD/USD’s rebound from 0.7712 is still in progress and intraday bias remains on the upside. Prior break of near term trend line resistance is taken as first sign of reversal. Break of 0.7892 resistance will affirm this bullish case and target 0.7988 and above. On the downside, below 0.7772 will turn bias to the downside for 0.7712. Break there will resume whole fall from 0.8135.
In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 0.6826 is seen as a corrective move. It might still extend higher but 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. On the downside, break of 0.7500 support will now be an important signal that such corrective rebound is completed.
USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 106.15; (P) 106.56; (R1) 106.82;
USD/JPY is still bounded in consolidative trading from 105.24. Intraday bias remains neutral first. Note again that bullish convergence condition is seen in 4 hour MACD. On the upside, decisive break 107.67 resistance will indicate near term reversal. In such case, outlook will be turned bullish for 110.47 resistance next. But before that, another decline is still mildly in favor. Break of 105.24 will resume larger decline from 118.65 and target 100% projection of 118.65 to 108.12 from 114.73 at 104.20 next.
In the bigger picture, current development argues that the corrective pattern from 118.65 is extending. The solid break of 61.8% retracement of 98.97 to 118.65 at 106.48 now suggests that the pattern from 125.85 high is possibly extending. Deeper fall could be seen through 98.97 key support (2016 low). This bearish case will now be favored as long as 110.47 resistance holds.
