Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Sell-Off Exposes The Next Key Support Zone

OUTLOOK
  • In EURUSD traded higher Monday, starting the week on a bullish note, but is facing some resistance today. The move higher resulted in a break of 1.0895, the May 16 high and bull trigger. This confirms a resumption of the bull trend and confirms a flag formation on the daily chart. The break higher opens 1.0933 next, 61.8% of the Dec 28 - Apr 16 bear leg. Key short-term support to watch lies at 1.0788, the May 30 low.
  • Despite today’s pullback, the trend condition in GBPUSD remains bullish. Monday’s rally and print above 1.2801, the May 29 high, confirms a resumption of the uptrend and an extension of the rising price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. The focus is on a climb towards 1.2859, 1.236 projection of the Apr 22 - May 3 - 9 price swing. Initial support to watch is 1.2685, the 20-day EMA.
  • The trend outlook in USDJPY remains bullish and the latest pullback appears to be a correction - for now. However, the pair has breached the 20-day EMA and the continuation lower has exposed key support at 154.65, the 50-day EMA, and 153.81, a trendline drawn from the Dec 28 low. A clear break of this support zone would be bearish. For bulls, a move above 157.71, the May 29 high, is required to resume a short-term uptrend.
