USD/CAD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2959; (P) 1.3019; (R1) 1.3059;
USD/CAD’s decline from 1.3225 is still in progress and deep fall might be seen. But we’d expect downside to be contained well above 1.2886 to bring rally resumption. We’re holding on to the view that corrective fall from 1.3385 has completed at 1.2886 already. On the upside, above 1.3077 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for 1.3225 first. Break will resume the rebound from 1.2886 to retest 1.3385 high.
In the bigger picture, strong rebound ahead of 38.2% retracement of 1.2061 to 1.3385 at 1.2879 key fibonacci level retains medium term bullishness. That is, rise from 2017 low at 1.2061 is still in progress. Break of 1.3384 should target 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2015 high) to 1.2061 (2017 low) at 1.3685. On the downside, as long as 1.2886 support holds, outlook will now remain bullish.
USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 111.02; (P) 111.34; (R1) 111.56;
Intraday bias remains neutral at this point. While the consolidative pattern from 111.82 might extend with another fall, downside should be contained by 38.2% retracement of 104.62 to 113.17 at 109.90 to bring rebound. On the upside, break 111.82 will indicate that rise from 109.76 is resuming. And intraday bias will be turned back to the upside for retesting 113.17 high. Decisive break there will resume larger rally from 104.62.
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 109.36 support holds. However, decisive break of 109.36 will mix up the outlook again. And deeper fall should be seen back to 61.8% retracement of 104.62 to 113.17 at 107.88 and below.
