EURUSD

The Euro closed yesterday below former low of 30 July at 1.0891, leaving a long red candle that confirms further extension of the downleg from double upside rejection at 1.1121/28. Firm bearish tone on all timeframes, suggests final push towards short-term base and breakpoint at 1.08 zone, former lows of 27 Mat at 1.0818 and 20 July low at 1.0807. Break here to open way towards key med-term support levels at 1.0519/1.0461, lows of 12 Apr/15 Mar, the bottom of larger downtrend from 1.3992, May 2014 peak. Today’s fresh weakness confirms bearish stance. However, near-term studies are approaching oversold zone that may result in hesitation on approach to strong 108 zone supports. Initial resistance lies at 1.09 area, ahead of 1.0931, former hourly minor base, with extended rallies, expected to hold below pivotal barrier at 1.0986, yesterday’s high and near Fibonacci 61.8% retracement of 1.1121/1.0844 downleg.

GBPUSD

Cable is losing traction in the near-term, as repeated upside rejections, where daily cloud top capped upside attempts and fresh weakness below of daily 20SMA, give initial negative signals. Repeated daily close in red, confirms the notion and moves the price into lower part of near-term 1.5464/1.5670 range. However, daily technicals hold neutral setup, together with contracting 20d Bollinger bands, suggesting prolonged sideways phase, with break of either boundary, required to establish fresh direction. Corrective rallies off fresh session low at 1.5524, should be ideally capped under yesterday’s high at 1.5632.

USDJPY

The pair resumes the uptrend after brief consolidation at 124 zone and approaches pivotal resistance zone that lies between 124.36 and 124.72 highs at tops of short-term congestion. Overall bullish tone supports eventual break higher and resumption of larger uptrend from 120.69 low, with daily Tenkan-sen line containing dips at 123.77 and rising daily 20SMA underpinning the action at 123.70, guarding pivotal daily Ichimoku cloud top at 123.40. Near-term technicals are gaining bullish tone and favor further upside, however, extended consolidation ahead of final break higher, cannot be ruled out, as the pair approaches breakpoint zone and 4-hour studies are losing initial bullish momentum.

AUDUSD

The pair corrects yesterday’s strong rally that peaked at 0.7426 and closed above daily 20SMA, leaving long bullish daily candle. Near-term technicals are gaining positive tone, but limited upside action is seen, while pivotal 0.7485/95 zone, daily Kijun-sen line / former lower platform stays intact. Pullback from fresh high at 0.7426, should be contained above 0.7324, Fibonacci 61.8% of 0.7261/0.7426 rally, to keep fresh near-term bulls in play. Overall picture, however, remains bearish and sees resumption of larger downtrend, after completion of current consolidation.

EURUSD

The Euro ended Friday’s trading positively and closed above daily 20SMA, following choppy trading after release of solid US jobs data. Friday’s upside attempts were capped by daily Tenkan-sen line and 50% retracement of 1.1112/1.0844 downleg at 1.0978, just ahead of pivotal resistance zone that lies between 1.0985 and 1.1010, former tops / Fibonacci 61.8% retracement / daily Kijun-sen line. Positively aligned near-term studies suggest further upside, with sustained break above 1.1010 barrier, needed to confirm. On the other side, daily structure remains negative overall, with repeated weekly long-legged Doji candle, seeing prolonged consolidation as likely scenario. On the larger picture, initial range lies between 1.0844 and 1.1125, with break of either side, required to establish short-term direction. Daily 20SMA offers initial support at 1.0945 and contains for now, with close below here, to soften near-term tone.

GBPUSD

Cable maintains negative near-term tone, after Friday’s repeated close in red and fresh weakness that touched strong support at 1.5420, daily Ichimoku cloud base. Subsequent bounce and overnight’s narrow-range consolidation are likely to delay fresh bears, as rising daily cloud base, continues to support. However, daily indicators are breaking below their midlines, with setup of daily MA’s turning into bearish mode and weekly Bearish Engulfing candle, keeping the downside pressured. Daily cloud base marks the first breakpoint, ahead of 200SMA that lies at 1.5381 and break lower to confirm lower platform at 1.5670 zone. Overnight’s price action was shaped in tight Doji, holding below psychological 1.55 level that marks initial resistance, ahead of Friday’s high at 1.5542 and daily Tenkan-sen at 1.5555, break of which to ease immediate downside pressure.

USDJPY

The pair extended pullback off 125 tops that proved to be strong near-term resistance, with Friday’s repeated close in red, confirming scenario. Dips found temporary support at 124.09, Friday’s / overnight’s lows / just above rising daily 20SMA that underpins the action, where hourly base is forming. Bounce so far tested Fibonacci 38.2% of pullback from 125.03 peak, with positively aligned 4-hour studies and bullish daily technicals, being supportive for further upside that is needed to signal an end of corrective phase. Extension above 124.55/68, former low of 06 Aug / Fibonacci 61.8%, is needed to confirm and re-focus 125 barrier. Otherwise, upside failure, would keep the downside at risk and look for retest of strong 124 support zone, loss of which to signal extended corrective phase off 125 tops.

AUDUSD

Near-term price action consolidates under 0.74 barrier that was cracked on Friday’s rally to 0.7416. Bullish daily close that occurred above daily 20 SMA, maintains positive near-term tone and gives initial signals of stronger correction. North-heading daily indicators and break above daily 20SMA, support the notion, however, sustained break above 0.74 barrier, is seen as initial step, with extension above next pivot at 0.7495, former lower platform, required to confirm scenario. Otherwise, expect prolonged consolidation, while recent tops at 0.7426, 04 Aug and 0.7416, 07 Aug, remain intact. Alternative scenario sees risk of 4-hour double top formation, on fresh acceleration lower and violation of pivotal 0.7332/13 supports, lows of 07/06 Aug.

EURUSD

Near-term structure remains positive, as the Euro closed Monday’s trading in another long bullish candle and above psychological 1.10 barrier. Bulls peaked at 1.1040, after cracking daily 100SMA at 1.1030 and being rejected just under 1.1047, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.1434/1.0807 descend. Today’s pullback under 1.10 handle, is so far seen as corrective and looks to find footstep above daily 20SMA at 1.0946, to keep near-term bulls in play. Renewed attempts higher, need to clear 1.1047 barrier, to signal fresh weakness and expose breakpoint at 1.1128, 27 July lower top. Otherwise, downside risk would remain in play, as underlying trend remains bearish, with return below daily 20SMA, to soften near-term tone.

GBPUSD

Cable returned above the mid-point of near-term range, after brief violation of range’s floor on Friday’s dip to 1.5420. Yesterday’s quick recovery that left long bullish daily candle, improved near-term technicals and neutralized downside risk, seen on test of daily cloud’s base on Friday. Fresh upside attempts look for extension above daily cloud top, currently at 1.5606, to re-expose key 1.5670 resistance zone and lower platform, break of which is needed to signal resumption of recovery phase from 1.5327, low of 08 July. Return and yesterday’s close above daily 20SMA, currently at 1.5571, gives positive signal, however, neutral mode of daily studies and contracting 20d Bollinger bands, suggest further sideways trading in the near-term.

The pair regains bullish tone on near-term studies, after corrective pullback from upside rejection at 125 barrier, found support at 124.09, where dips were contained by ascending daily 20SMA. Yesterday’s long bullish daily candle and today’s fresh acceleration higher, look for break through 125 hurdle, to open way for final push towards key 125.84 barrier, 05 June peak. The notion is supported by strong bullish tone on daily studies, with daily 20SMA, underpinning the action. Initial support lies at 124.50, session low, ahead of pivotal 124.09, hourly base, reinforced by daily 20SMA.

Today’s price action was contained by daily 100SMA at 1.1032 that marks initial support, ahead of psychological 1.10 handle, also near Fibonacci 38.2% of entire upleg from 1.0844, where corrective actions should be ideally contained.

Repeated rejection at daily cloud top, gives negative signal, however, near-term price action is recovering ground, following overnight’s dip to 1.5531, session low. Neutral tone prevails on all timeframes and requires trigger for fresh direction. Break of either boundary of narrowing daily cloud, to signal further action. Bullish alignment of daily MA’s, with formation of 100/200SMA’s golden cross, favors upside attempts for now. Lift above 1.5614 to expose upper 20d Bollinger band at 1.5647, ahead of key 1.5670 zone barrier.

Bullish near-term structure sees scope for further upside, on extension above 20SMA, to expose next strong barrier at 1.1265, 200SMA. Sustained break here would sideline current scenario that favors selling rallies, for stronger correction towards 1.1331, lower top of 01 Sep and breakpoint.

Also, break above 200SMA at 1.5356, supports scenario of extended correction, with near-term technicals, turning into bullish mode. The notion is supported by daily slow Stochastic that reversed from oversold zone and gives bullish signal.

Next targets lay at 1.5427, daily 55SMA, ahead of 1.5446, Fibonacci 61.8% retracement.

Near-term price action attacks the lower boundary of the triangle, after yesterday’s action was limited by daily 20SMA, keeping intact triangle’s top at 120.27 and more significant thin 127.37/70 daily Ichimoku cloud. Alignment of daily technicals is negative and will favor fresh downside attempts, while daily cloud caps. Sustained break below triangle support, currently at 120.68, will put pressure on short-term congestion floor at 119 zone and signal fresh direction, on violation of the latter.

Conversely, upside resumption requires break above daily cloud and 200SMA, currently at 120.87.

AUDUSD

Aussie enters near-term corrective phase, after strong and uninterrupted rally from 0.6935 double-bottom, peaked at 0.7380, being limited by falling daily 100SMA. Corrective easing that returned into daily cloud and cracked psychological 0.7300 handle, so far holds above initial support at 0.7278, former peaks / Fibonacci 23.6% of 0.6935/0.7380 rally. Extended dips, which are signaled by overbought daily slow Stochastic, turning lower, should be ideally contained above 0.7210, Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.6935/0.7380, to keep overall bulls intact.

Res: 0.7362; 0.7380; 0.7409; 0.7435

EURUSD

The Euro bounced after posting fresh low at 1.0615 yesterday, on profit-taking action that peaked at 1.0717. Falling daily 10SMA, reinforced by falling daily Tenkan-sen, which maintains downmove for the past month, capped so far the rally at 1.0717.

This barrier should ideally keep the upside protected, however, extension higher cannot be ruled out, as hourly studies turned positive.

Overall picture remains firmly bearish and favors fresh action lower, on completion of current consolidation.

Next significant barriers lay at 1.0760, hourly double top and 4-hour Ichimoku cloud base and 1.0800/28, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.1094/1.0615 / 12 Nov low and mark the upside breakpoint

GBPUSD

Cable probes above four-day 1.5262/1.5153 congestion, following two-day rally from 1.5153, 17 Nov range low, where higher low is forming, after false break below strong weekly Ichimoku cloud support at 1.5191.

Cracking descending daily 20SMA / Kijun-sen line at 1.5267, could be seen as initial bullish signal, though, gains so far stay below psychological 1.5300 barrier.

The notion is supported by near-term studies, which gained bullish tone.

On the other side, daily technicals remain bearishly aligned, with the pair facing strong resistance zone above 1.53 barrier, which consist of sideways-moving daily 30SMA and 200SMA at 1.5306 and 1.5339, respectively.

Sustained break here is needed to confirm bearish resumption and neutralize existing risk of recovery stall.

Res: 1.5291; 1.5306; 1.5340; 1.5370

Sup:1.5248; 1.5226; 1.5206; 1.5185

USDJPY

The pair pulls back in corrective action, after marginally higher high was posted at 123.74. Probe below initial support and former consolidation floor at 123.17, Fibonacci 38.2% of 122.20/123.74, generated initial signal of deeper pullback, which so far hit support at 123.08, rising daily 10SMA.

Strong support lies at 123 zone, defined by 10SMA and 4-hour Ichimoku cloud top and should ideally contain dips, to prevent deeper pullback.

However, near-term studies are weakening and cannot rule out further correction.

Extended corrective action, also signaled by daily RSI / slow Stochastic, reversing from overbought territory, should not exceed key near-term support at 122.20, 16 Nov higher low.

Res: 123.36; 123.74; 124.14; 124.50

Sup: 123.08; 122.90; 122.79; 122.56

AUDUSD

The pair rallies above near-term 0.7156/0.7067 consolidation, after strong barriers of falling daily 20SMA and trendline resistance at 0.7125, were taken out.

Today’s fresh strength, follows yesterday’s indecision, shaped in Doji with long tail, commences the third wave of recovery from 0.7014, low of 10 Nov. Daily close above 0.7156, former range top and Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.7380/0.7014 downleg, is seen as minimum requirement to confirm bullish resumption. The notion is supported by probe above the top of thin daily cloud top, which twists higher.

Next important barriers lay at 0.7210/22, Fibonacci 100% expansion / 04 Nov lower top.

Daily indicators are heading north and gaining bullish momentum for fresh upside extension.

Broken daily 20SMA / bear-trendline, now offer strong support, guarding 0.7067 higher low and downside breakpoint.
