OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Bull Leg Extends

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD remains in a clear downtrend and this week’s extension reinforces the current trend condition. Last week, the Nov 6 sell-off highlighted a resumption of the downtrend. Note too that moving average studies are in a bear-mode position, highlighting a dominant bear trend. Sights are on 1.0568 support, the Nov 2 ‘23 low. Key resistance has been defined at 1.0937, the Nov 5 and 6 high. Initial firm resistance is 1.0811, the 20-day EMA.
  • The trend condition in GBPUSD traded sharply lower yesterday, solidifying the downtrend. Tuesday’s move resulted in a breach of support at 1.2834, the Nov 6 low. The clear break confirms a resumption of the downtrend. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode condition, highlighting a dominant downtrend. Sights are on 1.2665, the Aug 8 low. Key short-term resistance is at 1.3048, the Nov 6 high. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2957, the 20-day EMA.
  • The USDJPY trend condition is unchanged and remains bullish. This week’s climb has resulted in a breach of resistance at 154.71, the Nov 11 high, to confirm a resumption of the uptrend and maintain the price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Sights are on 155.27, a 2.00 projection of the Sep 16 - 27 - 30 price swing. Clearance of this level would open the 156.00 handle. Initial firm support is 152.03, the 20-day EMA.
