Daily Market Technicals

Support from $1.3762 provided the springboard for Monday’s bounce, which having breached $1.3810-12, aims for a test to $1.3884-$1.3899. The latter seen as the 9 day falling resistance line from this month’s $1.3965 high. Only above the 76.4% Fibo level at $1.3915 however, will overall impetus swing higher. Support is initially around $1.3795, with $1.3762-$1.3752 again the area to break to renew downside interest.

Monday’s rally to $1.6526 hardly constituted a definite break out of the $1.6520-$1.6465 consolidation area. So we still await some clear signs as to direction. We remain above $1.6478, the rising daily support line from Nov 12 and while above here and $1.6465-$1.6468, the upside has chances. Loss however, will signal $1.6425-$1.6405 next, with $1.6389 close behind. Above $1.6526 allows a higher correction of the drop from $1.6714

Rallies are still faltering below the key near term resistance at Y102.78, with two failures now at the slightly lower Y102.64 level. Now need to remain above Y101.94, if the threat of seeing even lower levels is to be nullified. Above and we have scope to regroup for another challenge higher. Loss would open the way for Y101.58-Y101.33, the latter the 2 month daily rising support line, which protects the important Y101.21-Y101.22 lows.

Monday’s bounce, albeit still within the recent consolidation band, has not yet harmed the potentially bullish “Doji” candlestick close which appeared on Friday’s daily chart. Today, we find support from Y140.95-Y140.75 protecting the downside and the important Y140.46 level. Require a move above Y141.95 however, before any upside impetus will appear and herald scope for Y142.26-Y142.51 next. Key resistance currently stands around Y142.91/99.

The hold within the key near term support between Stg0.8352-Stg0.8345 on Monday, has been the catalyst for the latest rise. Still need to break above the important Stg0.8400-Stg0.8409 region however, before any further upside acceleration will emerge. In the interim, look to initial support from Stg0.8362-Stg0.8369 and on the day this protects against another fall into that afore mentioned Stg0.8352-Stg0.8345 support zone
