USD/JPY – EUR/JPY

USDJPY crashed from just below our selling opportunity at 107.50/60 hitting all targets as far as 106.60/50.

EURJPY topped exactly at our target & resistance 122.50/60. If you managed to short we were offered a 50/60 pips profit on the slide to first target 121.00/90...which held. Same levels apply for today.

Daily Analysis

USDJPY managed to hold what I saw as weak support at 106.60/50. First resistance at 107.20/25 stop above 107.35. Sell at 107.50/60, with stops above 107.75. Above here targets 107.90/95 & 108.15 with a selling opportunity at 108.35/45; stops above 108.65.

Shorts at 107.20/25 re-target 106.60/50. I do not see this as much of a support level. A break lower tests minor support at the May low at 106.00/105.95.

EURJPY selling opportunity at 122.50/60 with stops above 122.90. A sustained break above here is a medium term buy signal targeting 123.20/30.

Shorts at 122.50/60 target 121.00/90. Below here meets strong support at 121.60/50 for profit taking on any remaining shorts. Buy at 121.25/15, with stops below 120.95.

EUR/USD bounces off lows, back to 1.1860

EUR/USD now manages to regain some balance, retesting the 1.1860-1.1870 band after bottoming out near 1.1830 following the US NFP data on Wednesday. The pair, in the meantime, remains on the defensive amid fresh upside traction surrounding the US Dollar.

GBP/USD rebounds to 1.3660, USD loses momentum

GBP/USD trades with decent gains in the 1.3660 region, regaining composure following the post-NFP knee-jerk toward the 1.3600 zone on Wednesday. Cable, in the meantime, should now shift its attention to key UK data due on Thursday, including preliminary GDP gauges.

Gold stays bid, still below $5,100

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of humble gains in the US Dollar and firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
