USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 113.10; (P) 113.31; (R1) 113.48;
Further rise is still expected in USD/JPY with 113.00 minor support intact. Break of 113.04 resistance will resume rebound from 111.37 and target 114.54 key resistance next. On the downside, below 113.00 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.
USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9882; (P) 0.9911; (R1) 0.9959;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral for the moment. On the upside, break of 1.0008 resistance will indicate that pull back from 1.0128 has completed. Intraday bias would be turned back to the upside for retesting 1.0128 first. On the downside, below 0.9862 will target 0.9848 support first. Sustained break there will confirm near term reversal and target 61.8% retracement of 0.9541 to 1.0128 at 0.9765 and below.
In the bigger picture, rise from 0.9541 could have topped at 1.0128. But as long as 0.9541 support holds, we’d still expect rise from 0.9186 to resume at a later stage. Break of 1.0128 will target 1.0342 key resistance. However, break of 0.9514 will pave the way back to 0.9186 low.
