GBPUSD - further upside favored; daily Tenkan-sen at 1.5680, key support


EURUSD

The Euro pulls back from fresh high at 1.1712, levels last traded in Jan 2015. Yesterday’s strong rally left long daily bullish candle, marking strongest daily gains since Mar 18. Fresh easing, inspired by profit-taking, so far holds above psychological 1.15 support that marks the first trigger and sustained break here to open way for deeper pullback. The notion is signaled by overbought daily Stochastic that starts to point lower and could give stronger bearish signal, on reversal from overbought zone. Extension below 1.15 handle is expected to open next layers of strong supports: broken bear-trendline that connects Feb/May peaks at 1.1532/1.1465 and lies at 1.1390, ahead of 200SMA at 1.1328. Overextended daily studies support this scenario. Session low at 1.1524, marks initial support. On the upper side, initial resistance lies at 1.1620, Asian high, ahead of yesterday’s spike high at 1.1712.

Res: 1.1620; 1.1679; 1.1712; 1.1752
Sup: 1.1524; 1.1500; 1.1418; 1.1390

GBPUSD

Cable rallied yesterday and eventually closed above pivotal 1.57 zone, leaving long daily bullish candle and cracking the next target at 1.5801, 24 June former lower top. Bullish setup of daily studies, favors further upside and final push towards key 1.5928 barrier, high of 18 June, as yesterday’s rally probed above 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of 1.5928/1.5327 downleg. Narrow consolidation is under way and so far contained above 1.57 zone, now acting as pivotal support and being reinforced by rising daily Tenkan-sen line. Only sustained break below here would trigger stronger pullback. Such scenario is supported by overbought daily Stochastic that would give strong bearish signal, in case of reversal. Otherwise, expect fresh attempts higher after completion of near-term consolidation phase, while 1.57 support zone holds.

Res: 1.5776; 1.5801; 1.5829; 1.5908
Sup: 1.5744; 1.5720; 1.5680; 1.5628

USDJPY

The pair corrects after yesterday’s strong fall that posted fresh low at 116.13, last traded in mid-Jan, where bears were contained by 38.2% retracement of 100.81/125.84 rally. Recovery attempts probed briefly above psychological 120 barrier, with session range established between 118.24 and 120.09. Structure remains bearish overall and sees fresh weakness as favored scenario, however, stronger bounce, signaled by daily Stochastic reversing from oversold territory, cannot be ruled out. Session high at 120.09, marks initial barrier, ahead of 200SMA at 120.66, close above which to confirm stronger correction.

Res: 119.63; 120.09; 120.66; 121.00
Sup: 118.24; 117.78; 117.00; 116.13

AUDUSD
The pair consolidates within 0.7126 and 0.7231 range, after yesterday’s strong bearish acceleration spiked to fresh 6 ½ low at 0.7036, coming close to our next target at psychological 0.7000 level. Overall tone remains bearish and favors final break through 0.7000 pivot, with consolidative action being so far capped under daily Kijun-sen line at 0.7242 that marks the first upside pivot and should ideally hold, to keep intact yesterday’s high at 0.7310 and daily 10/20SMA’s bear-cross at 0.7326 that maintains downside pressure and marks next breakpoint.

Res: 0.7231; 0.7285; 0.7310; 0.7326
Sup: 0.7168; 0.7126; 0.7100; 0.7036
