Price Signal Summary - USDJPY Trend Needle Points North

OUTLOOK
  • In FX, EURUSD maintains a softer tone following the reversal from last Thursday’s intraday high. The pair has breached support at 1.0835, the Mar 19 low. This reinstates a recent bearish threat and a continuation lower would signal scope for 1.0796, the Feb 29 low. A break of this level would strengthen a bearish theme. On the upside, clearance of 1.0943, the Mar 21 high is required to expose key resistance at 1.0981, the Mar 8 high. Init resistance is at 1.0870, the 20-day EMA.
  • A sharp sell-off in GBPUSD Thursday and Friday, has strengthened a short-term bearish threat. Support at 1.2600, the Mar 1 low, has been cleared and this paves the way for a move towards 1.2536, the Feb 14 low and 1.2519, the Feb 5 low and a key support. Moving average studies continue to highlight an uptrend. A break of last Thursday’s 1.2803 high is required to ease bearish pressure. First resistance is 1.2713, the 20-day EMA.
  • USDJPY trend outlook remains bullish and last week’s gains reinforce current conditions. Looking at moving average studies, they remain in a bull-mode position too, highlighting a clear uptrend. Sights are on 151.91 and 151.95, the Nov 13 high and Oct 1 ‘22 highs respectively. A break of this resistance would confirm a resumption of the long-term uptrend and open 152.66,the 1.236 projection of the Feb 1 - 13 - Mar 8 price swing. Initial firm support is 149.68, the 20-day EMA.
