OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - Cable Tests Support At The 20-Day EMA

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD traded in a volatile manner Friday and the pair has started today’s session on a bearish note, trading lower. For now, a bullish theme is intact, following last week’s recovery. Note too that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting an uptrend. A resumption of gains would open 1.1202, the Aug 26 high and bull trigger. The 20-day EMA has been breached, again. The next key support to watch lies at 1.1026, the Sep 3 low.
  • Friday’s gains in GBPUSD proved short-lived and the pair is trading lower today. Short-term weakness is considered corrective, however, the pair is testing support at 1.3075, the 20-day EMA. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement, potentially towards the 50-day EMA, at 1.2951. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on key short-term resistance at 1.3266, the Aug 27 high and bull trigger.
  • A bearish theme in USDJPY remains intact, despite today’s intraday gains. Last week’s move lower reinforces a bear theme and sights are on key support at 141.70, the Aug 5 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 140.82, the Jan 2 low. A firm resistance is seen around the 20-day EMA, at 145.78 today. For bulls, a clear break of this average would signal scope for a stronger correction.
