Technical Analysis – FX Daily Majors

Today’s highlights:

· USDJPY: Small “Double Top” through 83.01 favours defensive consolidation with risk down to 81.96 (which we look to hold), before next leg higher (to 85.54). 

· AUDUSD: A close through our 200-day MA/38.2% retrace target, 1.0404/00, with comfortable price action below here to leave month-end risk now to 1.0260 (possibly 1.0115).

· NZDUSD: Close to a retest of our previously defended .8050/7996 target area (with erosion back from .8282). Q1-end risk through here, to .7920.

· EURUSD: Ongoing cautious consolation reinforces near-term range theme. A modestly defensive bias intact whilst below 1.3292, but only more negative through 1.2975.

Today’s trades:

· EURUSD: Short at 1.3278 for 1.2960; exit 1.3326.
