Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
USD/JPY remains in consolidation mode above the 3rd square root relationship of the 2014 high near 118.40
Our near-term trend bias remains positive while above 118.40
Interim resistance is seen around 119.65, but a move through 120.80 is really needed to signal that a more meaningful extension higher is underway
A very minor turn window is eyed tomorrow
A close below 118.40 would turn us negative on the exchange rate
USD/JPY Strategy: Like the long side while 118.40 holds.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
USD/JPY | 117.95 | *118.40 | 119.10 | 119.65 | *120.80 |
Price & Time Analysis: AUD/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
AUD/USD remains in consolidation mode below the 3rd square root relationship of the year’s low near .7885
Our near-term trend bias is negative while below .7885
The year’s closing low around .7715 remains a key downside pivot with weakness below needed to signal a resumption of the broader trend
A minor turn window is eyed mid-week
A close above .7885 would turn us positive on the Aussie
AUD/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below .7885.
Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
AUD/USD | *.7715 | .7760 | .7790 | .7840 | *.7885 |
Focus Chart of the Day: EUR/USD
Choppy trade continues in EUR/USD. The pair did stall out during the key cyclical period we highlighted around the middle of last week, but so far declines have been held in check by Gann support around 1.1270. A clear break of this level is desperately needed to signal that the broader downtrend is indeed trying to re-assert itself. The 61.8% retracement of the all-time low and all-time high around 1.1210 is also key in this regard. Last week’s highs around 1.1450 should not be breached if the downtrend is resuming like we suspect, but it would really take a push through 1.1515 to signal that a more important move higher in the euro is unfolding.
