AUD/USD: March Monthly Highs Capping For Now. The pair has put in a double daily top at the $1.0497 Mar monthly high resistance level with a further trading within a $1.0386-1.0497 range favoured until a break above is seen. The 21-DMA ($1.0381) comes in just below the 200-DMA today, adding significance to the initial support. A close below would see immediate focus turn to the Mar 12 lows and then the 2013 lows beneath. Above the $1.0497 sees focus turn to the 2013 highs.

NZD/USD: Fresh 6 Week Highs Again Overnight. Marginally fresh 6 week highs again for the Kiwi yesterday as it again tested the sharply rising 21 day upper Bollinger band with immediate focus remaining on the $0.8489-34 resistance region. A close back below the Mar 25 low remains needed to relieve the current bullish focus with back below the $0.8292 level needed to confirm that a deeper correction is underway. Daily tech studies are approaching overbought which could become an issue.

AUD/JPY: Remains Heavy, 21-DMA Initial Resistance. AUD/JPY continues to remain heavy, with the rising daily trend line off Nov 9 lows seen as key support.
