USD/JPY Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 113.24; (P) 113.48; (R1) 113.88;
USD/JPY is staying in range of 112.94/114.20 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. As noted before due to loss of upside momentum, in case of another rise, upside should be limited by 114.54/73 zone to bring reversal. On the downside, break of 112.94 minor support will extend the consolidation pattern from 114.54 with another falling leg back to 111.37. Overall, rise from 104.62 is still in progress and decisive break of 114.73 will confirm resumption.
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 109.76 support holds. However, decisive break of 109.76 will dampen this bullish view and turns outlook mixed again.
AUD/USD Daily Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.7236; (P) 0.7268; (R1) 0.7307;
Intraday bias in AUD/USD remains neutral as it’s staying in range below 0.7314 key resistance. On the upside, decisive break of 0.7314 will indicate medium term reversal. Further rally should be seen to 38.2% retracement of 0.8135 to 0.7020 at 0.7446 next. However, break of 0.7164 will suggest that rebound from 0.7020 has completed. In this case, medium term bearishness will be maintained. Intraday bias would be turned back to the downside for retesting 0.7020 low.
In the bigger picture, as long as 0.7314 resistance holds, fall from 0.8135 is tentatively treated as resuming long term down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high). Decisive break of 0.6826 will target 0.6008 key support next (2008 low). However, firm break of 0.7314 will suggest that whole decline from 0.8135 has completed. And, the corrective pattern from 0.6826 (2016 low) is extending with another rising leg towards 0.8135 before completion.
