MNI DAILY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS - Bearish AUD Theme Remains
Price Signal Summary – Bearish AUD Theme Remains
- S&P E-Minis are trading at this week’s highs and sights are on the key resistance and bull trigger at 6053.25, the Nov 11 high. A break of this hurdle would resume the uptrend and open 6070.16, a Fibonacci projection. A downtrend in Eurostoxx 50 futures remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective - for now. A fresh cycle low last week marked a resumption of the downtrend that started Sep 30.
- A downtrend in GBPUSD remains intact and the pair continues to trade closer to its recent lows. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant bear trend. Sights are on 1.2446, the May 9 low. The medium-term USDJPY trend condition is unchanged, it remains bullish, however, this week’s move lower strengthens the current short-term corrective cycle. The pair has traded through the 20-day EMA, exposing the next key support at 151.56, the 50-day EMA. A bearish theme in AUDUSD remains intact and Tuesday’s fresh cycle low reinforces this condition. The break lower maintains a bearish price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. Note too that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position.
- A bearish theme in WTI futures remains intact and Monday’s move lower reinforces this theme. Attention is on $65.74, the Oct 1 low, and $63.90, the Sep 10 low and key support. For bulls, a stronger reversal to the upside would instead refocus attention on the key short-term resistance. The long-term trend condition in Gold is unchanged, it remains bullish and the Oct 31 - Nov 14 bear leg appears to have been a correction. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend.
- Bund futures are trading higher today. Price has recently cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs. This undermines a recent bearish theme and note that 133.39 has been breached, 50.0% of the Oct 1 - Nov 6 bear leg. The trend condition in Gilt futures remains bearish, however, a corrective cycle is in play and this week’s climb reinforces current bullish conditions. A continuation higher would pave the way for a climb towards 95.73 next.

A downtrend in EURUSD remains intact, however, the pair continues to trade above last week’s low. The Nov 22 price pattern - a hammer candle - highlights a possible short-term base and if correct, the start of a corrective cycle. The trend is oversold and a recovery would allow this condition to unwind. Firm resistance to watch is 1.0624, the 20-day EMA. For bears, a move through 1.0335, the Nov 22 low would resume the downtrend.

A downtrend in GBPUSD remains intact and the pair continues to trade closer to its recent lows. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode set-up, highlighting a dominant bear trend. Sights are on 1.2446, the May 9 low. Initial firm resistance to watch is at 1.2739 the 20-day EMA. A short-term bounce would be considered corrective and allow an oversold condition to unwind.

- SUP 4: 0.8200 Round number support
EURGBP is trading inside a range. A bullish engulfing candle pattern on Nov 12 highlights a possible short-term reversal. The recovery from last Friday’s intraday low is also seen as a potential bullish development. Furthermore, the 20- and 50 day EMAs have been pierced. A clear break of both EMAs would strengthen the risk of a reversal and open 0.8404, a Fibonacci retracement. Key support is 0.8260, Nov 11 low. A break of it would resume the downtrend.
USDJPY TECHS: Approaching Support At The 50-Day EMA

- SUP 4: 149.09 Low Oct 21
The medium-term USDJPY trend condition is unchanged, it remains bullish, however, this week’s move lower strengthens the current short-term corrective cycle. The pair has traded through the 20-day EMA, exposing the next key support at 151.56, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on the bull trigger at 156.75, the Nov 15 high.

- SUP 4: 157.05 Low Sep 18
EURJPY remains soft and the cross is again trading lower, today. The latest move down cancels a recent short-term bullish reversal signal and suggests scope for a deeper retracement. Potential is seen for an extension towards 157.87, a Fibonacci retracement. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 164.76, the Nov 20 high. Clearance of this hurdle would highlight a possible reversal. Initial firm resistance to watch is 163.20, the 20-day EMA.

- SUP 3: 0.6350 Low Aug 5 and a key support
- SUP 4: 0.6339 Low Nov 10 2023

Note too that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant downtrend. Scope is seen for a move towards 0.6350, the Aug 5 low and the next key support. The pair remains below initial firm resistance at 0.6542, the 20-day EMA.

- SUP 3: 1.3822 Low Nov 6
- SUP 4: 1.3747 Low Oct 17
The trend outlook in USDCAD remains bullish and an early strong rally on Tuesday reinforces this theme. The move higher confirms a resumption of the primary uptrend and marks an extension of the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Sights are on 1.4196 next, a Fibonacci projection. Key short-term support has been defined at 1.3928, the Nov 25 low. For now, a pullback is considered corrective.

Bund futures are trading higher today. Price has recently cleared the 20- and 50-day EMAs. This undermines a recent bearish theme and note that 133.39 has been breached, 50.0% of the Oct 1 - Nov 6 bear leg. The move higher has also resulted in a breach of 134.05, the 61.8% retracement point, and 134.25, the high on Oct 16 and 18. This opens 134.87 next, the 76.4% retracement.

- SUP 4: 117.570 2.00 proj of the Oct 18 - 22 - 24
Recent gains in Bobl futures still appear corrective, however, the continued appreciation in price highlights an extension of this cycle. The contract has breached both the 20- and 50-day EMAs and today’s move higher has resulted in a print above 119.519, 61.8% of the Oct 1 - 31 bear leg. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bullish theme and open 119.949, the 76.4% retracement point. Initial firm support lies at 118.779, the 20-day EMA.

- SUP 4: 106.315 1.000 proj of the Oct 1 - 10 - 24 price swing
Schatz futures traded higher on Nov 22, extending the current bull cycle. The contract has cleared both the 20- and 50-day EMAs and attention is on resistance at 107.070, the Oct 24 high. Clearance of this level would expose 107.108, the 76.4% retracement of the bear leg between Oct 1 - 31. A break of 107.108 would strengthen the current bullish theme. Key S/T support is at 106.645, the Nov 18 low. Initial support lies at 106.821, the 20-day EMA.

- SUP 3: 93.40 Low Nov 18 and a key short-term support
- SUP 4: 93.00 Round number support
The trend condition in Gilt futures remains bearish, however, a corrective cycle is in play and this week’s climb reinforces current bullish conditions. A continuation higher would pave the way for a climb towards 95.73 next, a Fibonacci projection. On the downside, a reversal lower would refocus attention on the initial key support at 93.40, the Nov 18 low. A breach of this support would be a bearish development.

A clear break of this level would signal scope for a full retracement to 122.62, Oct 1 high. Initial firm support to watch is 119.63, the Nov 18 low.

A short-term bearish condition in Brent futures remains intact and Monday’s move lower reinforces this theme. A continuation down would open support at $69.68, the Oct 1 low, and $68.01, the Sep 10 low and a key support.

Medium-term bullish conditions in Silver remain intact and the bear cycle that started on Oct 23 still appears to be a correction. However, the corrective cycle remains in play.

Initial firm resistance to watch is $31.290, the 50-day EMA.
