Price Signal Summary -GBPUSD Range Breakout

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD maintains a bearish theme and Friday’s steep sell-off plus today’s follow through reinforces current conditions. Fresh cycle lows mark a resumption of the downtrend. Sights are on 1.0724, the Dec 8 low. On the upside, clearance of 1.0932, the Jan 24 high, is required to signal scope for a stronger recovery.
  • GBPUSD has breached support at 1.2597, the Jan 17 low and the base of a range that has been in place since mid-January. A clear range breakout would strengthen a bearish condition and pave the way for weakness towards 1.2500, the Dec 13 low. Initial resistance is at 1.2697, the 20-day EMA.
  • The USDJPY trend outlook remains bullish - Friday’s strong rally reinforces this condition and today's high has resulted in a print above key resistance at 148.80, the Jan 19 high. A clear break of 148.80 would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that started late December and open 149.16, 76.4% of the Nov 13 - Dec 28 bull leg. Scope would also be seen for a climb towards 149.75, the Nov 22 high. Key short-term support lies at 145.90, the Feb 1 low.
