Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Is Approaching The Bear Trigger

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD has recovered from Monday’s low of 1.0223. The move higher signals the end of a correction between Nov 15 - 21 and attention is on the key short-term resistance at 1.0479, the Nov 15 high and a bull trigger. A break would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 1.0536, the Jun 29 high. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at 1.0223, the Nov 21 low.
  • GBPUSD traded sharply higher Wednesday and this has confirmed a resumption of the uptrend. The move higher also marks an extension of the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows and note that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting current sentiment. The focus is on 1.2143 next, the Aug 17 high and 1.2200, the 200-dma. On the downside, key short-term support is seen at 1.1698, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDJPY short-term trend conditions remain bearish and the pair is trading lower today. The sell-off from Tuesday’s high signals the end of the corrective bounce between Nov 15 - 22. Attention is on the bear trigger at 137.68, the Nov 15 low where a break would confirm a resumption of the downtrend and open 137.37, the Aug 29 low. Key short-term resistance has been defined at 142.25, the Nov 21 high.
