Daily analysis
AUDUSD held good support at 7475/55 & it could be worth trying small longs here again targeting 7490/7500 for profit-taking. Gains are likely to be limited but a break above 7515 allows a recovery to 7530/35. Strong resistance at 7555/65 should be a big challenge. It is unlikely we will reach this far but if we do, try shorts with stops above 7580.
Longs at 7475/55 stop below 7445 (so the risk is very small). A break lower is a sell signal targeting 7410/7390, perhaps as far as 7360/50.
NZDUSD longs at first support at 7140/30 could work again targeting 7180/90 for profit-taking. Gains are likely to be limited now. If we retest 7200/7220, try shorts with stops above 7240. BUT be ready to sell again at very strong resistance at 7255/75. Stop above 7300.
Longs at first support at 7140/30 must stops below 7120 so the risk is very small. A break lower is a sell signal targeting 7090/80 probably as far as 7040/30.
AUDJPY expected to test first support at 8460/40. This may hold on the first test only for a bounce to 8500 but gains are likely to be limited after the sell signal. Unlikely but further gains meet a selling opportunity at 8540/50. Stop above 8570. I would sell again at 8620/40 with stops above 8660.
A break below 8420 is the next sell signal targeting 8370 & 8345/35.
