AUD/USD: Below $1.0414 Needed To Shift Focus Lower. The pair continues to make headway towards our current target in the $1.0578-98 region with initial support now noted at yesterday’s low and a close below needed to relieve the immediate bullish focus. Overall we will now look for a close back below the $1.0414 support to shift focus back to retests of the Mar 12 low and then 2013 lows below. The 21 day upper Bollinger continues to head sharply higher with tests expected to continue while $1.0448 supports.

NZD/USD: Marginally Trades Above 61.8% Fibonacci Level. The cross closed around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the $0.8534-0.8164 move after bouncing from initial support. The $0.8416 resistance remains the next topside hurdle with the Ichimoku cloud top noted around $0.8412 today and adding significance to the region.

The Jpy100.00 level remains key resistance with a close above likely to see the pair begin to trade within a Jpy100-105 range. A close below initial support remains needed to relieve the bullish focus and see the pair target retests of the Jan 16 low. O/B daily techs continue to correct.

USD/KRW: Bounces Form 200-DMA. USD/KRW continues to pull back from the double daily top and layers of resistance in the Krw1120.6-1127.8 resistance region and we continue to look for a close below the Mar 14 low to shift focus back to the Krw1077-82 support region. Back below the Mar 14 lows is needed to confirm a break back below the 200-DMA with the pair having made headway and consolidated the break above earlier in the month and having bounced from this level yesterday
