Foreign Exchange Price & Time at a Glance:
Price & Time Analysis: USD/JPY
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- USD/JPY broke above the 61.8% retracement of the June – July decline this morning
- Our near-term trend bias is higher in the exchange rate while above 122.00
- The mid-June high around 124.40 is the next upside pivot of importance
- A very minor turn window is eyed early next week
- A close under 122.00 would turn us negative again on USD/JPY
USD/JPY Strategy: Like buying on weakness against 122.00
| Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USD/JPY | *122.00 | 122.65 | 123.95 | *124.40 | 124.70 |
Price & Time Analysis: GBP/USD
ChartPrepared by Kristian Kerr
- GBP/USD stalled yesterday at the internal trendline connecting the April/June lows
- Our near-term trend bias is lower in Cable while below 1.5695
- A move under 1.5485 is needed to re-instill downside momentum
- A very minor turn window is seen tomorrow
- A daily close back over 1.5695 would turn us positive on the pound
GBP/USD Strategy: Like the short side while below 1.5670
| Instrument | Support 2 | Support 1 | Spot | Resistance 1 | Resistance 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GBP/USD | *1.5695 | 1.5570 | 1.5615 | 1.5660 | *1.5695 |
Focus Chart of the Day: USD/CAD
USD/CAD broke above the March high yesterday to trade at its highest level in more than 6-years. A weekly close above 1.2830 will further confirm the breakout and set the stage for a more important run higher in the weeks ahead. Psychological resistance is to be expected around 1.3000, but the 127% extension of the March – May decline around 1.3080 looks to be a more important upside attraction/pivot. A rate-of-change (ROC) divergence on the daily is a minor concern, but only weakness under 1.2650 would warn of a false break to the upside.
