USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3335; (P) 1.3359; (R1) 1.3381;
USD/CAD is staying in consolidation below 1.3444 and intraday bias remains neutral first. Near term outlook remains bullish with 1.3160 support intact, and further rally is expected. On the upside, break of 1.3444 will turn bias back to the upside. Larger rally from 1.2061 should target 1.3685 fibonacci level next.
In the bigger picture, up trend from 1.2061 (2017 low) is still in progress and should target to 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2016 high) to 1.2061 at 1.3685. This will remain the preferred case as long as channel support (now at 1.2949) holds.
USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 113.30; (P) 113.50; (R1) 113.82;
With 113.14 minor support intact, intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the upside for 114.03 resistance. Break there should resume rebound from 111.37 and target 114.54 key resistance next. On the downside, below 113.14 minor support will turn bias the downside for 112.23 and below. Overall, price actions 114.54 are seen as a consolidative pattern. In case of deeper fall, downside should be contained by 38.2% retracement of 104.62 to 114.54 at 110.75 to bring rebound. Larger rise from 104.62 is expected to resume later.
In the bigger picture, corrective fall from 118.65 (2016 high) should have completed with three waves down to 104.62. Decisive break of 114.73 resistance will likely resume whole rally from 98.97 (2016 low) to 100% projection of 98.97 to 118.65 from 104.62 at 124.30, which is reasonably close to 125.85 (2015 high). This will stay as the preferred case as long as 109.76 support holds. However, decisive break of 109.76 will dampen this bullish view and turns outlook mixed again.
