USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 105.73; (P) 106.18; (R1) 106.49;
USD/JPY continues to gyrate in range of 105.24/107.67 and outlook is unchanged. Intraday bias remains neutral. With 107.67 resistance intact, near term outlook remains bearish and further decline is expected. The corrective price actions since 105.24 support this. On the downside, break of 105.24 will resume larger decline from 118.65 and target 100% projection of 118.65 to 108.12 from 114.73 at 104.20 next. On the upside, firm break of 107.67 resistance will indicate near term reversal, on bullish convergence condition in 4 hour MACD. In such case, outlook will be turned bullish for 110.47 resistance next.
In the bigger picture, current development argues that the corrective pattern from 118.65 is extending. The solid break of 61.8% retracement of 98.97 to 118.65 at 106.48 now suggests that the pattern from 125.85 high is possibly extending. Deeper fall could be seen through 98.97 key support (2016 low). This bearish case will now be favored as long as 110.47 resistance holds.
USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9520; (P) 0.9544; (R1) 0.9588;
Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains neutral at this point. Another rise cannot be ruled out yet. But considering bearish divergence condition in 4 hour MACD, upside should be limited by 0.9626 key fibonacci level, to complete the rebound from 0.9186. Break of 0.9432 support will indicate near term reversal and turn bias to the downside for retesting 0.9186 low. Nonetheless, sustained break of 0.9626 will carry larger bullish implications.
In the bigger picture, fall from 1.0342 is seen as a medium term down trend. Current development is raising the chance that it is completed. But there is no confirmation yet. Focus will now be back on 38.2% retracement of 1.0342 (2016 high) to 0.9186 (2018 low) at 0.9626. Sustained break there will add much credence to the case of trend reversal and target 61.8% retracement at 0.9900 and above. However, rejection from 0.9626 will maintain medium term bearishness for another low below 0.9186.
