NZD/USD: Kiwi Remains Heavy. The pair remains heavy with tests of the $0.8060-80 region remaining favoured and the rising daily channel base off the early June lows also seen supporting in this region. Below the $0.8060-80 region sees the focus on tests of the Sept monthly lows. Topside above the Oct 5 highs is needed to relieve immediate downside pressure.

AUD/JPY: Move lower to continue. The falling daily channel base around Jpy79.10 remains the initial focus until the pair can manage a close above the somewhat pivotal 21-DMA which would see focus shift back to retests of the Jpy83.10-60 region. With the 21 day lower Bollinger heading lower spikes below are expected to continue as the pair heads lower.
