Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Trend Condition Remains Bullish

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD trend conditions remain bearish. The latest pause in the trend appears to be a flag formation - a bearish continuation pattern. The recent sell-off confirmed a resumption of the downtrend. Sights are on 1.0724, the Dec 8 low, and 1.0712, 61.8% of the Oct - Dec bull leg. Clearance of this key support zone would strengthen the bearish theme. Initial resistance is 1.0833, the 20-day EMA.
  • A bearish condition in GBPUSD remains intact and the latest recovery appears to be a correction. Recent weakness resulted in a clear break of 1.2597, the Jan 17 low and the base of a recent range. The range breakout strengthens a bearish condition and opens 1.2500, the Dec 13 low. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2661, the 20-day EMA.
  • The USDJPY trend outlook is bullish following last week’s gains. Key resistance at 148.80, the Jan 19 high, has been cleared. This confirms a resumption of the uptrend that started late December and maintains the sequence of higher highs and higher lows. 149.16, 76.4% of the Nov 13 - Dec 28 bull leg, has also been breached. This opens 149.75 next, the Nov 22 high. Initial support lies at 147.57, the 20-day EMA.
