Featured Technical Report

EUR/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 109.53; (P) 110.15; (R1) 111.22; More

EUR/JPY's break of 108.70 confirms resumption of whole fall from 123.31. Intraday bias remains on the downside and further decline should be seen to 105.42/106.28 support zone first. On the upside, above 111.23 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But we'll stay bearish as long as 114.17 resistance holds and expect deeper fall in near term.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Sell at 0.7330

Despite intra-day rebound to 0.7332, the subsequent retreat suggest further consolidation would be seen but still reckon upside would b limited to 0.7330-32 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 0.7592-0.7068 and intra-day resistance) and bring another retreat. A break of intra-day support at 07182 would suggest top is possibly formed and bring weakness to 0.7150, then towards 0.7100 but said support at 0.7068 should remain intact.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Buy at 1.0200

The Australian dollar found renewed buying interest around 1.0060/65 and rallied yesterday to as high as 1.0415 this morning, adding credence to our view that the fall from 1.1081 has formed a low at 0.9927 yesterday and consolidation with upside bias remains for retracement of the aforesaid fall. A break of said resistance would bring a stronger rebound to 1.0455 and then towards 1.0504
