USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 111.51; (P) 111.88; (R1) 112.13;
USD/JPY recovers mildly after dropping to 111.62. But as long as 112.52 minor resistance holds, deeper fall is expected. Current decline is seen as correcting whole rise from 104.62. Deeper fall would be seen to 38.2% retracement of 104.62 to 114.54 at 110.75. We’ll look for bottoming signal above 109.76 key support. On the upside, considering mild bullish convergence condition in 4 hour MACD, above 112.52 minor resistance will indicate completion of the pull back and bring retest of 114.54 high.
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.
EUR/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.1401; (P) 1.1441; (R1) 1.1468;
Intraday bias in EUR/CHF remains neutral and this point, but further rise is in favor. We’re holding on to the view on bullish trend reversal after EUR/CHF drew support from 1.1154/98 zone. On the upside above 1.1491 will target 1.1713 resistance for confirmation. Break there will target a test on 1.2004 high next. Meanwhile, note that upside momentum is not to convincing so far. Break of 1.1360 minor support will argue that the rebound has completed and turn bias back to the downside for 1.1154/98 zone again.
In the bigger picture, price actions from 1.2004 medium term top is seen as a correction only. Downside should be contained by support zone of 1.1198 (2016 high) and 61.8% retracement of 1.0629 to 1.2004 at 1.1154 to complete it and bring rebound. This cluster level is in proximity to long term channel support (now at 1.1234) too. A break of 1.2 key resistance is still expected in the medium term long term. However, sustained break of the mentioned support zone will mark reversal of the long term trend. In that case, 1.0629 key support will be back into focus.
