USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 110.90; (P) 111.07; (R1) 111.30;
Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral as it’s still bounded in range of 110.37/111.82. On the upside, break of 111.73 minor resistance will resume the rebound from 109.76. In that case, intraday bias will be turned back to the upside for retesting 113.17 high. Decisive break there will resume larger rally from 104.62. On the downside, below 110.37 will bring deeper fall. But strong support is expected from 38.2% retracement of 104.62 to 113.17 at 109.90 to contain downside and bring rebound.
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.
USD/CHF Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9698; (P) 0.9727; (R1) 0.9778;
Despite the strong rebound from 0.9640, USD/CHF is still held below 0.9766 resistance. Intraday bias remains neutral first. On the upside, break firm break of 0.9766 will argue that the fall from 1.0067 is finished. Intraday bias should then be turned back to the upside for 0.9866 support turned resistance for confirmation. On the downside, however, break of 0.9640 will resume the decline from 1.0067 for 0.9523 fibonacci level next.
In the bigger picture, current development suggests that rise from 0.9186 low has completed at 1.0067, after failing to sustain above 1.0037 resistance. Fall from 1.0067 could extend to 61.8% retracement of 0.9816 to 1.0067 at 0.9523 and below. But for now, we don’t expect a break of 0.9186 low. On the upside, firm break of 0.9866 support turned resistance will suggests that fall from 1.0067 has completed and rise from 0.9186 is resuming.
