AUD/JPY confronts weekly R1 at 83.20

The rally, which started on August 14th, managed to advance even further, and now AUD/JPY confronts the weekly R1 at 83.20, which might change the direction of the prevailing movement. If it fails to stop the rally, then next resistance at 83.65 (upper Bollinger band) is very likely to bring some bearish impulse. Moreover, RSI indicator remains neutral, although it

GBP/JPY breaches weekly R2 at 124.04

Although RSI indicator shows neutral signal, the bullish trend, which started two days ago, managed to breach the weekly R2 at 124.04, and now the GBP/JPY currency pair is slowly approaching the upper Bollinger band at 124.57, which might slow down the uptrend.

USD/CHF's outlook is from neutral to bullish

USD/CHF remains calm and temporarily directionless. However, being that an uptrend support stays intact, we may anticipate gradual recovery of the pair. An interim resistance is located at 0.9842/70, followed by 0.9901, while in the longer time perspective the rally should be able to extend up to 0.9994/1.0003, as evidenced by weekly technical indicators.

USD/JPY: bulls dominate the market

Not only the currency pair has managed to pierce through 79.01/06, but it is already eroding a key area 79.32/51, which appears to be prone to give in and allow further advancement. An interval until 80.87/81.04 is free from notable levels, implying a possibility of extended up legs above 79.32/51. In the meantime, supports at 79.06/01 and 78.71/64 should prevent

Subsequently, GBP/USD is likely to push through 1.5450/19 and aim for 1.5249/33, rebound from which will mark a start of a long-term rally.

USD/CHF to trade sideways

USD/CHF hangs above 0.9750/38, while its dips should be also contained by support at 0.9702/0.9691, which proved to be strong enough to negate bearish momentum when the pair tried to complete a head and shoulders pattern just recently. Accordingly, we expect the price to stay between 0.9770 and 0.9750/38 for now, even though indicators point to the downside.

1.0438 comes to the spotlight

The Aussie dollar took a plunge against the US dollar for the second day and has reached the lowest level in almost two weeks.
