USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2961; (P) 1.2994; (R1) 1.3026;
Intraday bias in USD/CAD remains on the upside for the moment. Rise from 1.2526 has just resumed and should target a test on 1.3124 resistance next. Decisive break there should confirm medium term trend reversal. On the downside, below 1.2919 minor support will dampen the bullish view and turn bias neutral again.
In the bigger picture, we’re favoring the case that that rebound from 1.2061 has not completed yet. Focus is back on 38.2% retracement of 1.4689 to 1.2061 at 1.3065. Sustained trading above there will confirm medium term bullish reversal. That is, down trend from 1.4689 has completed at 1.2061 already. In that case, next target will be 61.8% retracement at 1.3685. However, break of 1.2526 support will dampen this bullish view again. And, focus will be back on 1.2061 key support level, which is close to 50% retracement of 0.9406 (2011 low) to 1.4689 (2015 high) at 1.2048.
AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7529; (P) 0.7560; (R1) 0.7578;
AUD/USD is staying in tight range between 0.7502 and 0.7604 and intraday bias remains neutral first. On the downside, break of 0.7502 minor support will suggest that the corrective recovery from 0.7411 has completed. Intraday bias would be turned back to the downside for 0.7411 and below to resume the larger decline from 0.8135 to cluster support at 0.7328 (61.8% retracement of 0.6826 to 0.8135 at 0.7326). Above 0.7604 will extend the corrective rise. But we’d expect strong resistance from 38.2% retracement of 0.8135 to 0.7144 at 0.7688 to limit upside.
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.
