USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2056; (P) 1.2212; (R1) 1.2321

USD/CAD continues to stay in established range of 1.1985 and 1.2389 as triangle consolidation continues. Though, short term outlook remains unchanged. Further rally is still in favor. Also, fall from 1.3005 should have completed at 1.1818. Break of 1.2514 resistance will confirm this case and bring retest of 1.3005/15 resistance zone. On the downside, though, below 1.1985 will indicate that fall from 1.3005 is probably resuming towards 1.1464 support instead.

GBP/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 137.32; (P) 138.20; (R1) 139.59

GBP/JPY’s recovery from 133.09 was limited below 140.71 resistance and weakens again today. 4 hours MACD’s cross below signal line indicates that an intraday top is formed and dampens the immediate bullish case. Intraday outlook is turned neutral for the moment. On the upside, above 140.71 will indicate that rise from 133.09 has resumed. Also this will affirm the case that a short term bottom is in place at 133.09 and bring rally towards 148.57 resistance next. Break there will confirm this case. On the downside, though, below 133.09 will indicate recent down trend is still in progress for key long term support at 129.32 before completion. Read the rest of this entry »

Daily Pivots: (S1) 92.30; (P) 93.94; (R1) 94.82

USD/JPY recovers mildly after hitting 92.64 earlier today. Though, at this point, intraday bias remains on the downside as long as 94.25 minor resistance holds. Decline from 100.54 could extend further to retest 90.92 low. On the upside, above 94.25 will turn intraday outlook neutral first. Also, note that the lack of impulsive structure of the fall from 100.54 so far is still arguing that it might be part of the consolidation that started at 90.92. Above 95.74 will indicate that fall from 100.54 has possibly completed. The corrective structure in turn suggests that rebound from 90.92 is still in progress and stronger rally should be seen to 100.54 or above before completion. Read the rest of this entry »

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2695; (P) 1.2824; (R1) 1.3084

USD/JPY spiraled lower to 93.55 last week but downside momentum was rather unconvincing. So far, the structure of the fall from 100.54 to 93.55 is still looking corrective, arguing that rebound from 90.92 is not over. Anyway, with 4 hours MACD crossed above signal line, initial outlook is neutral this week. Break of 98.18 will favor the case that rise 90.92 is still in progress and another rally could be seen to 100.54 or above before completion. On the downside, though, below 93.55 will indicate that fall from 100.54 is still in progress and will continue to target 90.92 low. Read the rest of this entry »

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2555; (P) 1.2628; (R1) 1.2689

Nevertheless, upside is expected be limited below 1.3768 cluster resistance and bring down trend resumption.

Silver’s fall from 10.8 extends further to as low as 9.53 before recovering mildly. 4 hours MACD’s turn negative argues that rebound from 8.4 has completed at 10.8 already. Also, failure to take out 11.195 resistance didn’t confirm that a short term bottom is formed. At this point, intraday bias is mildly on the downside as long as 10.535 minor resistance holds. Break of 9.2 will confirm that rebound has completed and will bring retest of 8.4 low. On the upside, above 10.535 will turn intraday outlook neutral again. Further break of 11.95 will confirm a short term bottom is in place with bullish convergence condition in daily MACD and RSI and will bring strong rally towards 13.88 resistance.

On the upside, above 7.36 is needed to revive the case that a short term bottom is formed. Read the rest of this entry »
