EURUSD

The Euro trades in extended consolidative phase under last week’s fresh high at 1.3567. Near-term price action moves in a sideways mode and being entrenched within 1.3500/50 range. Psychological 1.35 support, reinforced by ascending hourly 55DMA, keeps the downside protected for now, with hourly studies holding neutral tone. From the other side, extended 4-hour studies see risk of further consolidation, with double-Doji supporting such scenario. However, deeper pullback cannot be ruled out, as daily RSI is entering overbought territory. Immediate support lies at 1.3500, ahead of 1.3450, previous top and 50% retracement of 1.3337/1.3567 upleg. Increased downside risk would be seen in case of violation of 1.3400, Fibonacci 38.2% of 1.3103/1.3567 and 1.3340, higher platform and 50% retracement. Targets at 1.3600 and key 1.3710 peak, seen in extension, remain in near-term focus.

GBPUSD

Cable’s corrective pullback from 1.6161, 18/09 fresh high, has stabilized at psychological / Fibonacci 61.8% of 1.5890/1.6161 ascend support, with near-term basing attempt being under way. Hourly studies are weak and require break above lower top at 1.6065 to confirm recovery, as 4-hour structure remains positive and keeps the upside favored. However, overbought daily studies require caution, as possible extension below 1.5900/1.5880 higher platform, would risk deeper pullback and open next target at 1.5800. Conversely, clearance of 1.6065 and regain of 1.6100 barrier, would shift near-term focus towards 1.6161 and signal possible resumption of larger uptrend towards 1.6200, next upside target.

USDJPY

The near-term structure weakens after the pair failed to regain psychological 100 barrier on a strong bounce off 97.75. Pullback from 99.65, where the rally stalled, cracked 99.00 handle, also 38.2% of 97.75/99.65 upleg that increases downside risk, as 4-hour indicators are breaking in the negative territory. Further easing would look for test of 98.70/98.48, Fibonacci 50% / 61.8% of 97.75/99.65, and 98.22, trendline support, also the neckline of H&S pattern that is forming on a daily chart. Conversely, lift above 99.65 is required to neutralize.

AUDUSD

The Aussie trades in near-term corrective mode, with price action coming under increased pressure, after extension of pullback from 0.9526 peak, dipped to 0.9365 so far. Hourly studies are still weak, however, quick recovery above 0.9400 handle, keeps the positive tone on the larger timeframes in play. Clearance of lower platform at 0.9455, is seen as minimum requirement to avert downside risk and shift focus towards 0.9500 and 0.9526 barriers. Otherwise, loss of 0.9365, session low and higher platform at 0.9340, would keep the downside vulnerable and risk stronger correction. Strong supports lay at 0.9283, Fibonacci 38.2% of 0.8891/0.9526 and 9222/00, higher platform / 50% retracement.

Negative hourly studies and 4-hour indicators breaking below the midlines, see scope for further correction towards next significant support zone at 1.3400/1.3390, former lower platform and double Fibonacci support. Key near-term support lies at 1.3330 higher platform and 50% retracement of 1.3103/1.3567. Larger picture outlook remains bullish and favors further upside, once near-term correction is completed.

The greenback remains at the back foot against the yen, as confirmed break below 97.00/96.80 supports, heads towards the next significant level at 95.78, 08/08 low. The price action cracked 200DMA at 96.70, with losses being so far contained by broken bear-trendline and previous channel resistance, drawn off 101.52 peak. Corrective bounce above 97.00 barrier, triggered by oversold near-term studies, should not have stronger impact, as structure remains negative and keeps the downside favored. Immediate barriers lay at 95.47, and 4-hour 55DMA at 97.70, with rallies to be ideally capped at 98.00/50 zone, to maintain negative sentiment.

AUDUSD

Near-term focus shifts higher, as the price extends rally from 0.9280 near-term base and approaches pivotal 0.9455 barrier, on a renewed attack. With hourly studies moving out of neutral mode and 4-hour indicators, being in positive territory, near-term scenario favors further bulls and eventual attempt at key barrier at 0.9526, 18/09 peak. However, clearance of 0.9455, is seen as initial requirement. Otherwise, prolonged consolidation above 0.9280, would the likely scenario.

EURUSD

The Euro fell to the near-term range floor at 1.3540 zone, reinforced by 4-hour Ichimoku cloud top, after repeated failure at 1.3600 barrier triggered quick pullback. Having cracked 4-hour 55DMA that so far protected the downside, the pair risks further easing, as hourly studies are negatively aligned and 4-hour indicators breaking into negative territory. The initial trigger will be loss of 1.3540 that would open way towards 1.3500 and more significant 1.3460 higher platform, below which to confirm reversal and near-term top at 1.3645. Alternatively, holding above 1.3540, would signal prolonged sideways movements, with only break above 1.3600, required to shift near-term focus higher and re-expose key 1.3645 peak.

GBPUSD

Cable’s near-term recovery attempt off 1.6005 low failed of repeated attack at 1.6123, yesterday’s high and immediate reversal brought the price the mid–point zone of entire 1.6005/1.6123 rally. With hourly indicators sliding below the midlines, as price action establishes below hourly 20/55DMA’s bearish crossover, as well as negative 4-hour structure, immediate risk is seen on renewed attempt at 1.6000 base. Break here to confirm formation of the double-top at 1.6123/21 and the third wave of the downmove from 1.6259 that could extend to 1.5955, 24/09 higher low and Fibonacci 61.8% expansion. Alternative scenario requires clearance of 1.6121/23 peaks, as well as 50% retracement of 1.6259/1.6005 descend at 1.6132, to ease immediate bear-pressure and allow for further recovery.

USDJPY

The pair trades in near-term corrective mode off fresh low at 96.55, where broken bear-trendline from 101.52 and previous channel resistance, contained losses for now. The price action regained important 97.47 lower high of 04/10, extending the upleg from 96.81, where higher low was left. Positive hourly structure supports further correction, with dips expected to hold above 97.00, 20/55 bullish crossover, to maintain positive sentiment. Clear break above 97.47 to confirm near-term base and open way towards next significant barriers at 97.86, 03/10 lower top and 98.10, 50% retracement of 99.65/96.55 downleg. Conversely, failure to sustain break above 97.47, would keep the downside at risk, as larger picture bears remain in play and eye full retracement of 97.58/101.52 rally.

AUDUSD

Near-term focus shifts higher, as the price extends rally from 0.9280 near-term base and breaks above pivotal 0.9455 barrier. Pullback from fresh high at 0.9483, could be seen as corrective, despite weakened hourly studies, as the fall was contained at 0.9410 base, reinforced by 55DMA and 50% retracement of 0.9526/0.9280 descend. Fresh attempt higher is supported by positive 4-hour studies, with break above 0.9483 and psychological 0.9500 hurdles, to open way for final push towards key 0.9526 barrier and possibly resume larger recovery rally from 0.8891. Conversely, loss of 0.9400 support, would weaken the near-term structure.

EURUSD

The Euro remains at the back foot, as break below initial 1.3540 support, triggered fresh acceleration that fully retraced 1.3500/1.3645 upleg. Break below 1.3500 support, focuses strong support zone at 1.3460/40, higher platform / previous peak of 20/08 and Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of 1.3103/1.3645 rally. Negative near-term technicals favor the scenario, with consolidative action on oversold hourly studies, expected to precede fresh weakness. Any stronger rally should stay capped under 1.3545/65, Fibonacci 38.2% and 50% of 1.3645/1.3484 downleg, to keep freshly established bears in play.

Cable came under increased pressure yesterday, with fresh bearish acceleration extending reversal from 1.6259 peak below 1.6000 handle and approaching the next support at 1.5900. The third wave that commenced from 1.6123 lower top, could travel to 1.5871/57, main bull trendline off 1.4812 and 100% Fibonacci expansion, with negative near-term studies supporting the notion. Bears may be interrupted by consolidative action, as hourly and 4-hour studies are oversold, with 1.6000, previous support, now offering solid resistance.

The pair extends near-term correction through initial barrier at 97.47 and Fibonacci 38.2% of 99.65/96.55 descend, approaching initial barriers at 98.00/10, psychological resistance / 50% retracement. Positively aligned near-term studies support further advance, however, overbought hourlies may delay rally. Clear break above 98.00 resistance zone is required to confirm freshly established uptrend and near-term base at 96.55, for stronger recovery towards next significant barrier at 99.00. Corrective dips should be contained above higher low at 97.11, to maintain bulls.

The pair came under pressure, as recovery attempt off 0.9280 failed to sustain break above 0.9455 barrier, with extension higher stalling at 0.9483 and subsequent pullback probing levels below 0.9400 support. Hourly studies turned negative, while 4-hour indicators are heading south that keeps the downside at risk, as the pullback retraced nearly 50% of 0.9280/0.9483 rally. Further easing would signal prolonged consolidation under 0.9526 high, as the price holds within 0.9280/0.9500 range. However, positive daily studies keep the upside in focus, with price action required to hold above key near-term support at 0.9280.
