NZD/USD found support ahead of Friday’s low with it also remaining capped ahead of the 21-DMA. The relatively bearish close is of some concern to bulls with bears looking for a close below $0.8479 to confirm a break back below the 100-DMA (0.8488) and see focus return to the 200-DMA. Bulls need to see a close above the 21-DMA to give bulls some breathing space.

EUR/AUD has started the new week where it left off and remains heavy following Monday’s sharp move lower towards the fresh 2014 lows set last week. Initial resistance is noted on the hourlies at A$1.4555 but bulls continue to look for a close above the 21-DMA to confirm an easing of bearish pressure and a close above the 200-DMA to shift focus back to levels above A$1.5000. Bears are firmly focused on fresh 2014 lows and then the Nov 2013 monthly low.

The sequence of higher daily highs and lows continued to start the new week as the AUD/JPY continues to work its way towards the Y96.19-51 resistance region. The only concern for bulls are daily tech studies that are approaching O/B but while higher daily highs/lows continue bulls remain in control. Bears need a close below Monday’s low to hint at a correction which initially targets the 21-DMA (Y94.80).
