Technical Outlook:

  • GBP/USD consolidating or topping?
  • USD/JPY has decent potential to trade higher soon

GBP/USD is either treading water at resistance and is nearing a breakout or is working on developing a top. If it is the former, then waiting for a breakout above 13206 may be the safest bet, putting cable above all resistance lines/levels. A breakout could open up a path towards the December high over 13500. On the flip-side, a breakdown below 13048 could clear a path lower with the June trend-line up first as support, but given the longer-term resistance levels we could see a larger down-move develop towards 12800. Generally speaking, the burden of proof is on sellers right now...

USD/JPY is bucking the trend in USD weakness, tentatively putting it on a path towards higher levels. This week it overcame a top-side channel line from June, but for that to continue it is ideal that we see it hold onto trend support off the monthly low. It is near it now. The monthly high at 10647 is around the trend-line, so a hold above that level will keep the upside intact. A break below and we might see further weakness set in.
