Featured Technical Report

USD/JPY Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 76.56; (P) 76.77; (R1) 76.94; More.

USD/JPY continues to stay in tight range for the moment and intraday bias remains neutral. With 76.46 minor support intact, consolidation form 75.94 might still continue with another rise. Above 77.68 will turn bias to the upside for another rebound. But after all, even in that case, we'll stay bearish as long as 80.23 and expect and eventual downside breakout. On the downside, below 76.46 minor support will suggest that recovery from 75.94 has finished and turn bias back to the downside for this support first.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Hold long entered at 1.6270

Cable’s rebound after yesterday’s euro-led selloff to 1.6255 has retained our consolidative view and test of the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.6337) and possibly previous support at 1.6385/87 is likely, however, break of the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.6409) is needed to signal the retreat from 1.6455 (yesterday’s high) has ended and bring test of 1.6420. Looking ahead, only breach of this level would retain bullishness for another leg of rebound from 1.6207 to bring test of 1.6455 first.

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 0.8080

Despite yesterday’s rebound from 0.8121 to 0.8233, as the greenback has retreated after faltering below indicated resistance at 0.8240, retaining our view that further consolidation would take place and another corrective fall to said support at 0.8121 would be seen, below would bring retracement to 0.8105/10 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 0.7892-0.8240), however, reckon renewed buying interest should emerge above 0.8066/67 (50% Fibonacci retracement and current level of the Ichimoku cloud bottom) and bring another rise later.

Orders and Options Watch

European Session: Orders and Options Watch

EUR: Despite falling to 1.4385 yesterday on soft EMU data, euro found demand from sovereign names below 1.4400 level and has rebounded since, bids from same parties re-appeared this morning again around 1.4420. As traders await the release of eurozone employment data (starting 7:55GMT) and U.S. ADP employment change (12:15GMT), order books are a bit light with only offers from Asian CB reported at 1.4470-80 and 1.4500. On the downside, first stops are tipped at 1.4410 with more stops seen below yesterday’s low at 1.4385, 1.4360 and mixture of bids and stops remain at 1.4320-30.
