USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2800; (P) 1.2849; (R1) 1.2875;
Intraday bias in USD/CAD remains neutral for consolidation below 1.2899 temporary top. Downside of retreat should be contained by 1.2748 minor support to bring another rise. Above 1.2899 will target 1.3124 resistance next. On the downside, however, firm break of 1.2748 will turn focus back to 1.2526 support instead.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests 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.
USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 108.79; (P) 109.16; (R1) 109.42;
Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral for consolidation below 109.53 temporary top. Deeper retreat cannot be ruled out. But downside should be contained by 107.77 resistance turned support to bring another rally. Break of 109.53 will resume the rise from 104.62 and target 61.8% retracement of 114.73 to 104.62 at 110.86 next.
In the bigger picture, break of 108.12 support turned resistance now suggests that corrective fall from 118.65 (2016 high) has completed with three waves down to 104.62. And, rise from 98.97 (2016 low) could be resuming. Focus is back on 114.73 resistance and break there will pave the way to 118.65 and above. This will now be the preferred case as long as USD/JPY stays above 55 day EMA (now at 107.60).
