EURUSD bulls still in the game as markets await Fed, ECB playAlthough the EURUSD is all set for the first weekly loss in four, despite refreshing the 17-month high, the buyers aren’t off the board as multiple supports stand tall to challenge the downside ahead of the key week comprising monetary policy meeting from the Fed and the ECB. That said, a three-month-old horizontal support area surrounding 1.1100-1090. Following that, a broad support zone comprising multiple levels marked since early May can challenge the Euro bears between 1.1030 and 1.1000. Even if the quote breaks the 1.1000 psychological magnet, a seven-week-long rising support line near 1.0920 will act as the last defense of the buyers. On the contrary, the EURUSD rebound may initially aim for the support-turned-resistance line near 1.1180 and then to 1.1230 ahead of confronting the 1.1275-80 resistance region comprising levels marked during early 2022. In a case where the Euro pair manages to remain firmer past 1.1280, the previous yearly high of near 1.1500 will be in the spotlight. It should be noted that the pair’s run-up beyond 1.1500 needs to gain support from the hawkish ECB, as well as the dovish Fed, to aim for the late 2021 peak around 1.1700. On a different note, the RSI line slides below the 50 level suggesting brighter chances of a bottom-picking even if the MACD flashes bearish signals. To sum up, EURUSD remains on the buyer’s radar despite the latest retreat as the key event remain on the docket to shake the markets next week.

AUDUSD run-up hinges on 0.6700 break, market’s confidence in RBAThe odds of witnessing further AUDUSD upside appear dicey as a convergence of the 21-EMA and 50-EMA, around the 0.6700 round figure, challenges the bulls, together with the RBA’s inability to defend the hawkish bias. However, a three-month-old ascending support line, close to 0.6600 at the latest, limits the Aussie pair’s downside. Even if the quote drops below 0.6600, the late May swing high of around 0.6560 will test the bears before directing them to the yearly low marked in May around 0.6455. It’s worth noting that the MACD signals seem bearish and the RSI (14) isn’t impressive enough to lure the AUDUSD buyers. If at all the RBA offers another hawkish surprise and propels the quote past the 0.6700 hurdle, the aforementioned oscillators and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of its February-May downside, near 0.6730, will precede the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of 0.6810 to challenge the Aussie buyers. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 0.6810, the previous monthly high of near 0.6900 will act as the last defense of the bears. Overall, AUDUSD is less likely to end up on the bull’s radar unless successfully crossing the 0.6700, as well as backed by the hawkish RBA decision.

EURUSD bears have a long road ahead before taking controlEURUSD holds onto the previous week’s U-turn from a five-month-old horizontal resistance while bracing for the second weekly loss, targeting the 50-EMA support of around 1.0850 of late amid a looming bear cross on the MACD. That said, the RSI (14) line’s retreat from the overbought RSI also suggests the Euro pair’s further weakness and hence the pair’s fall past the 50-EMA to the 50% Fibonacci retracement of January-April upside, near 1.0785, can’t be ruled out. However, a convergence of the 200-EMA and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, close to 1.0715-10, appears a tough nut to crack for the sellers. Even if the quote manages to break the 1.0710 support confluence, an upward-sloping support line from January, surrounding 1.0670, will act as the final defense of the buyers before giving control to the bears. It should be noted, however, that the EURUSD pair’s recovery from the 50-EMA support will be difficult unless crossing the multi-month-old horizontal resistance area around 1.0990. Also acting as the short-term upside hurdle is the 1.1000 psychological magnet. Following that, the yearly high marked in April near 1.1095 holds the key to the major currency pair’s rally toward the March 2022 peak of 1.1185. Overall, the EURUSD is likely to witness further downside but the road towards the south won’t be smooth.

EURUSD bulls are still in the game despite retreatEURUSD pares the biggest weekly gain since early January ever since it reversed from the monthly high on Friday. In doing so, the Euro pair prints the first weekly loss in three as Fed Chair Powell’s testimony looms. However, a golden cross on the moving average, that is a condition where 50-SMA pierces the 200-SMA from below, joins the quote’s sustained trading beyond a fortnight-old rising support line to keep the buyers hopeful. Hence, the immediate trend line support, close to 1.0875 at the latest, precedes the 50-SMA of near 1.0840 and the 200-SMA surrounding 1.0820 to act as the final defense of the Euro buyers. Also acting as the downside filter is the early-month peak of around 1.0775, a break of which can quickly drag the pair to the previous monthly low of 1.0635. Meanwhile, the EURUSD recovery needs to remain successfully high past the two-month-old horizontal support zone surrounding 1.0900-910. In that case, the weekly high of 1.0970 and the 1.1000 psychological magnet can challenge the bulls. Following that, the double tops marked in late April and early May, just below the 1.1100 round figure, will be crucial for the buyers to cross to confirm their ruling. Overall, the EURUSD appears slipping off the bull’s radar but the bears need validation from technicals, as well as from Fed’s Powell, to retake control.

AUDUSD sellers need to break 0.6600 support to retake controlAfter repeated failures to cross the 100-DMA, the AUDUSD pair again attacks an 11-week-long ascending support line, around 0.6610 at the latest. That said, bearish MACD signals and a mostly steady RSI (14) line keep the Aussie pair sellers hopeful of breaking the stated key support. Even so, a confirmation from the 0.6600 round figure, becomes necessary for the bears to battle with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of October 2022 to February 2023 upside, close to 0.6545. In a case where the quote remains bearish past 0.6545, the odds of witnessing a gradual fall towards 0.6380 and then to the yearly low of around 0.6170 can’t be ignored. On the contrary, AUDUSD recovery remains unimpressive below the 100-DMA hurdle surrounding 0.6785. Adding strength to the stated resistance is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. That said, the 0.6710 can guard the immediate recovery of the Aussie pair. It should be noted, however, that the quote’s successful break of 0.6785 resistance confluence can propel the pair towards 0.6850 and a late 2022 peak of near 0.6895, quickly followed by the 0.6900 round figure. Overall, AUDUSD is likely to turn bearish after closely missing the negative weekly mark in the last.

NZDUSD recovery remains unimpressive below 200-SMAAfter defying a three-week losing streak, the NZDUSD pair grinds higher as traders brace for Wednesday’s New Zealand quarterly employment numbers. The quote currently pokes the 100-SMA barrier surrounding 0.6190 while also eyeing a one-month-old downward-sloping resistance line, close to 0.6205 by the press time. Given the bullish MACD signals, the Kiwi pair is likely to overcome the nearby hurdle. However, the RSI is close to the overbought territory and hence suggests limited upside room for the pair before hitting a roadblock, which in turn highlights the 200-SMA as the key resistance, close to 0.6220 by the press time. In a case where the Kiwi pair buyers manage to keep the reins past 0.6220, the odds of witnessing a run-up toward the mid-April high of around 0.6315 can’t be ruled out. Though, any further advances could challenge the yearly high marked in April around 0.6380. Meanwhile, pullback moves could gain attention on a downside break of the 0.6190-85 support zone comprising 100-SMA and the April 25 high. Following that, the NZDUSD pair can witness multiple supports near 0.6120 and 0.6100 round figure ahead of targeting the YTD bottom marked in March around 0.6085. It’s worth mentioning, however, that the quote’s weakness past 0.6085 can make the pair vulnerable to dropping toward the 0.6000 psychological magnet. Overall, NZDUSD is in a bearish consolidation mode ahead of crucial New Zealand data.

EURUSD remains on the bull’s radar beyond 1.0900EURUSD prins mild gains within a one-month-old bullish channel even as RSI eases from the overbought conditions. That said, the impending bear cross on the MACD joins the major currency pair’s inability to stay beyond 1.1000 to lure sellers. However, a clear downside break of the stated channel’s bottom line, close to 1.0900 at the latest, becomes necessary for the confirmation of downside bias. Even so, the 50-SMA and an ascending support line from early January, respectively near 1.0745 and 1.0585 in that order, appear tough nuts to crack for the pair sellers before retaking the control. Meanwhile, the EURUSD recovery needs to sustain above the 1.1000 psychological magnet to convince buyers. In that case, the aforementioned channel’s top line, close to 1.1100, may test the upside momentum. Should the Euro price remains firmer past 1.1100, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of its between November 10, 200 and March 15, 2023, near 1.1200, could lure the upside momentum. During the run-up, the late March 2022 top surrounding 1.1185 can act as an intermediate halt. Overall, EURUSD bulls appear to run up out of steam but the bears have a long and bumpy road before taking control.

AUDUSD approaches key resistances on RBA dayAUDUSD stays within a three-week-old bullish channel, poking the upside hurdle, on the RBA day. It’s worth noting that the 200-EMA adds strength to the top line of the state channel, around 0.6815-20 by the press time. Given the firmer oscillator, the bulls are likely to keep the reins. However, a clear upside break of the 0.6820 hurdle becomes necessary for the buyers to aim for the last December’s peak surrounding 0.6895, as well as the 0.6900 round figure. Should the quote remains firmer past 0.6900, the mid-February high of around 0.7030 can act as an intermediate halt during the likely run-up towards challenging the year 2023 peak of 0.7157. Meanwhile, a downside break of 0.6665 defies the stated bullish channel and can quickly drag the AUDUSD bears towards challenging the monthly low of near 0.6563. In a case where the Aussie pair remains weak past 0.6560, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of the pair’s run-up from early November 2022 to February 2023, close to 0.6450, may act as the last defense of the buyers before giving control to the sellers. Overall, RBA’s dovish hike should teases sellers but the Aussie pair’s trading within a bullish chart formation requires the trigger for the AUDUSD bears to retake control, which in turn highlights the 0.6665 support.

AUDUSD bulls need validation from 0.6770AUDUSD confirmed a falling wedge bullish chart pattern during the early days and is keeping the breakout so far during Wednesday. The RSI (14) line’s gradual rebound from the oversold territory adds strength to the upside bias. However, a convergence of the 100 and 200 DMAs, around 0.6770 at the latest, appears a tough nut to crack for the Aussie buyers to keep the reins. Following that, tops marked during December 2022 and mid-February 2023, respectively around 0.6895 and 0.7030, could act as intermediate halts during the theoretical target of 0.7240. On the contrary, a downside break of the 0.6640 level, comprising the stated wedge’s top line, could negate the bullish bias. Even so, the latest swing low and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of October 2022 to March 2023 upside, close to 0.6560 and 0.6545 in that order, could test the AUDUSD sellers before giving them control. Also acting as a downside filter is the lower line of the aforementioned bullish chart formation, near 0.6515 as we write. Overall, AUDUSD is likely to rise further toward the previous monthly peak. However, the key DMA convergence challenges the buyers as top-tier Aussie data looms, up for publishing on Thursday.

EURUSD stays bullish unless breaking 1.0540 support confluenceAfter stalling a four-month winning streak in February, EURUSD prints mild gains so far in March. That said, the major currency pair’s latest recovery takes place from the 1.0540 support confluence comprising the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and a three-month-old ascending support line. The upside momentum also takes clues from the upward-sloping RSI (14) line and upbeat MACD signals. As a result, the quote is well-set to challenge the last December’s peak surrounding 1.0740. Should the quote manage to remain firmer past 1.0740, which is more likely, the prices could aim for the mid-February top of around 1.0800. However, multiple hurdles could challenge the Euro bulls afterward, if not then the pair’s north-run toward the previous monthly high of near 1.1035 can’t be ruled out. Meanwhile, a daily closing below the 1.0540 support confluence could quickly fetch the EURUSD price to January’s bottom of 1.0481 before highlighting the December 07 low near 1.0445. In a case where the pair sellers keep the reins past 1.0445, the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracements of its run-up from November 2022 to February 2023, respectively near 1.0380 and 1.0230, could flash on their radar. It’s worth observing that the late October 2022 high near 1.0095 and the 1.000 level are crucial for the Euro bears to watch past 1.0230. Overall, EURUSD remains on the bull’s radar as it stays firmer beyond the key support ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s semi-annual Testimony.

USDCAD bulls need to cross 1.3700 for confirmationUSDCAD bulls struggle to defend the two-week-old winning streak ahead of the Canadian GDP data. However, the Loonie pair stays beyond the fortnight-long support line, as well as the key moving averages, to keep buyers hopeful. That said, a horizontal area comprising multiple levels marked since early October 2022, around 1.3700 appears the key upside hurdle for the pair. Following that, a run-up towards the 1.3830 and the 1.3900 threshold could be quick. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 1.3900, the previous yearly top surrounding 1.3975 and the 1.4000 psychological magnet could challenge the upside momentum. It should be noted that the RSI appears overbought but the MACD remains bullish, which in turn highlights the incoming data. Meanwhile, pullback moves may initially poke the immediate support line near 1.3580 before approaching the 100-DMA support of around 1.3500. In a case where the USDCAD remains weak past 1.3500, a gradual downturn toward the 200-DMA close to 1.3260 can’t be ruled out. However, the Loonie bears need a clear downside break of the stated key DMA support to retake control. Overall, USDCAD remains on the bull’s but a pullback can’t be ruled out unless the price remains below 1.3700. That said, strong prints of Canadian GDP could trigger the much-needed retreat of the Loonie pair.

AUDUSD stays bearish unless crossing 0.6950AUDUSD braces for the first monthly loss in four despite Friday’s rebound from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of its December 2022 to early February highs. A clear downside break of the two-month-old ascending trend line joins a two-week-old descending trend line to favor sellers. Adding strength to the bearish bias are the downbeat oscillators. The corrective bounce, however, could become important if it manages to cross the convergence of the previous support line and an immediate downward-sloping resistance line, close to 0.6950. Following that, the 100-SMA surrounding 0.6985 and the 0.7000 psychological magnet could act as the final defense of the Aussie bears before giving control to the bulls. Alternatively, the aforementioned 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level around 0.6830, also known as the golden Fibonacci ratio, puts a floor under the short-term AUDUSD downside. Following that, the 78.6% Fibonacci ratio near 0.6750 may act as an extra filter towards the south. In a case where the Aussie pair remains bearish past 0.6750, the December 2022 low near 0.6630 could lure the sellers. Overall, AUDUSD’s corrective bounce, if any, remains elusive unless crossing the 0.6950 hurdle.

USDCAD bulls brace for re-entry ahead of crucial Canada eventsFriday’s US jobs report finally offered the much-needed bounce to the USDCAD pair. However, the Canadian employment numbers and Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Tiff Macklem’s speech makes the current week all the more important for the Loonie pair traders. Also making the quote interesting is the latest piercing of the 1.3430 resistance confluence, comprising the 13-day-old bearish channel’s top line and 200-EMA. It’s worth noting that the oscillators aren’t quite impressive for the bulls and hence the pair buyers must wait for successful trading beyond the 1.3430 hurdle to retake control. Even so, the January 19 swing high near 1.3520 could probe the upside momentum before directing prices towards the previous monthly top surrounding 1.3685. Meanwhile, USDCAD pullback remains elusive unless staying beyond 1.3350 support, a break of which could recall bears targeting the late 2022 bottom surrounding 1.3225. During the fall, the stated descending channel’s lower line, close to 1.3250 may act as an intermediate halt. In a case where the Loonie bears dominate past 1.3225, the 1.3000 psychological magnet may act as a buffer during the south-run targeting September 2022 low near 1.2965. Overall, USDCAD bears are running out of steam as they approach this week’s key data/events.

NZDUSD upside appears limited as the key week beginsBe it New Zealand’s quarterly jobs report or China’s return after Lunar New Year (LNY) holidays, not to forget the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting, NZDUSD has an interesting week ahead. However, the bulls appear running out of steam after a four-week winning streak. The reason could be linked to the overbought RSI and multiple attempts to cross the upward-sloping resistance line from early June, close to 0.6525 by the press time. Even if the quote manages to cross the 0.6525 hurdle, a nine-month-old horizontal resistance near 0.6570 will be crucial as a break of which opens the door for the north-run towards the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the April-October downturn, around 0.6700. Alternatively, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, also known as the golden ratio, restricts the immediate downside of the NZDUSD pair around 0.6450. Following that, an ascending support line from early November, close to 0.6390, could act as the last defense for the Kiwi pair buyers. It should be noted that the quote’s weakness past 0.6390 could make it vulnerable to testing the 50% Fibonacci retracement level and the 200-DMA, respectively near 0.6270 and 0.6190. Overall, NZDUSD has bright opportunities to take entries but it all depends upon fundamental data/events and hence a cautious move is advisable.

EURUSD eases inside two-month-old bullish channelBetter-than-expected US growth numbers triggered the much-awaited pullback in the EURUSD prices from the eight-month high. The retreat, however, stays inside a two-month-long ascending trend channel, which in turn suggests less incentive for the bears. Even so, the previous weekly low surrounding 1.0765 and December’s peak of 1.0736 could lure short-term sellers. Following that, an upward-sloping support line from early November, close to 1.0730 might probe the further downside. It’s worth noting that the quote’s weakness past 1.0730 could make it vulnerable to testing the 1.0610-600 support confluence comprising the 50-DMA and lower line of the stated bullish chart formation. In a case where the pair stays weaker past 1.0600, the bears could have an easy battle to retake control. Meanwhile, EURUSD buyers could drill the aforementioned channel’s top line, around 1.0950 by the press time, during the fresh advances. Following that, the 1.1000 round figure could probe the upside momentum. It’s worth observing that the tops marked during March 2022 around 1.1140 and 1.1185 appear the easy reach for the pair bulls in case of its successful trade beyond 1.1000 psychological magnet. Overall, EURUSD bulls aren’t off the table but are tired enough to trigger a pullback.

USDCAD bears eye 1.3250 strong support on BoC dayUSDCAD sellers hold the reins for the sixth consecutive week so far as traders await the Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate decision on Wednesday. That said, the BoC’s likely 0.25% rate hike is expected to join the bearish MACD signals and favor the pair bears. However, a convergence of an upward-sloping trend line from June 2022 and a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the quote’s June-October 2022 upside, near 1.3250, appears a tough nut to crack for the sellers. Adding strength to the stated support is the RSI conditions suggesting a recent weakness in downside momentum. Even if the quote breaks the 1.3250 support, the 200-DMA level surrounding 1.3180 could act as the last defense of the Loonie pair buyers. Alternatively, a surprise disappointment from the BoC, either with or without the rate lifts, could trigger the much-awaited USDCAD rebound. In that case, the 100-DMA and previous support line from September 2022, close to 1.3500-10, will be a strong hurdle to watch for the bull’s entry. Following that, a run-up towards the previous monthly high near 1.3700 can’t be ruled out. It should be observed that the pair’s successful rise beyond the 1.3700 resistance can witness multiple challenges between 1.3810 and 1.3830, a break of which could direct buyers towards the previous yearly top marked in October around 1.3975. To sum up, USDCAD is likely to remain bearish unless the BoC offers any negative surprises. However, the downside room is limited.

USDJPY is ready to refresh multi-month lowEven if the USDJPY pair posted the biggest weekly gains in seven in the last, it remains inside a bearish channel. Additionally keeping the Yen pair sellers hopeful is the quote’s repeated failures to cross the 100-SMA. That said, the quote currently drops towards a one-week-old support line, close to 128.00. However, the May 2022 low will join the lower line of a five-week-old descending trend channel, near 126.35-30, to pose as a tough nut to crack for the bears. In a case where the pair remains bearish past 126.30, the odds of witnessing a slump toward the 120.00 psychological magnet can’t be ruled out. Alternatively, USDJPY can witness short-term buying in case of a successful upside break of the 100-SMA, close to 130.75. Following that, the top line of the stated bearish channel, around 132.50, will be important for the Yen pair buyers to watch. It should be noted that the 200-SMA level surrounding 132.85 and the 133.00 round figure act as additional upside filters before giving control to the bulls. Hence, USDJPY bears are in the driver’s seat even if the 126.35-30 support confluence challenges further downside.

EURUSD has bumpy road to north even as bulls keep the reinsA two-month-old ascending trend channel backs the EURUSD pair’s upside bias, despite multiple failures to cross the 1.0880 horizontal hurdle in the last week. That said, the 50-SMA and the 100-SMA restrict immediate downside around 1.0790 and 1.0700 respectively. Following that, the stated bullish channel could be at the test and hence the 1.0575 support will gain major attention. Should the quote drops below 1.0575, a slump toward the monthly low near 1.0480 appear imminent while any further downside won’t hesitate to challenge the lows marked during November. Meanwhile, a successful break of the one-week-old horizontal resistance near 1.0880 isn’t an invitation for the bulls as the top line of the aforementioned channel, close to 1.0910, will act as the last defense of the EURUSD bears. In a case where the pair rises past 1.0910, it could quickly rise to the 1.1000 round figure. It’s worth noting that January 2022 low and the late March 2022 high, respectively around 1.1125 and 1.1185, might probe the pair buyers before giving them full control. Overall, EURUSD stays inside a bullish chart formation and the oscillators are positive too. However, the upside momentum lacks acceptance and hence buyers should remain cautious.

GBPUSD holds onto bullish bias targeting 1.2450GBPUSD retreats from a one-month-old broad resistance area surrounding 1.2210-40 as the Cable traders brace for the UK data dump on Friday. The quote’s sustained trading beyond the convergence of the 50-SMA and 100-SMA, around 1.2070-65 at the latest, joins upbeat oscillators to keep the pair buyers hopeful of overcoming the key horizontal resistance zone. Following that, the previous monthly high surrounding 1.2450 could lure the bulls. It should be noted, however, that the pair’s successful trading above 1.2450 enables the bulls to aim for the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) level of the pair’s moves between November 2022 and early January 2023, close to 1.2645. Meanwhile, GBPUSD sellers will need a clear downside break of the aforementioned SMA confluence, near 1.2070-65, for conviction. In that case, the 1.2000 psychological magnet and the monthly low of 1.1841 should lure the bears. If at all the Cable pair remains bearish past 1.1841, a downward trajectory towards the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the quote’s November-December 2022 moves, near 1.1800 and 1.1645 respectively, can be expected. Overall, GBPUSD is likely to remain on the front foot unless the price stays beyond 1.2065 levels.

EURUSD portrays bullish trend-widening formationEURUSD grinds higher around the seven-month top inside a rising megaphone chart pattern on the daily formation. In addition to the bullish chart pattern, the upbeat RSI and bullish MACD signals also keep buyers hopeful. That said, May 2022’s peak surrounding 1.0786 and 1.0800 are likely immediate targets for the bulls. However, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair’s March-September downside, near 1.0835, could challenge the upside momentum afterward. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 1.0835, the stated megaphone’s top line, close to 1.0960, should lure the optimists. On the contrary, the one-month-old descending previous resistance line around 1.0700 restricts the short-term downside of the EURUSD pair. Following that, a pullback towards the aforementioned bullish pattern’s support line, adjacent to 1.0550, will be important to watch for sellers. Should the quote drops below 1.0550, a downward trajectory towards the 50-DMA and the 200-DMA, respectively near 1.0460 and 1.0300, can’t be ruled out. It’s worth noting that the quote’s weakness past 1.0300 could welcome bears with open hands. To sum up, EURUSD is likely to remain firmer but the road to the north is bumpy and long.

USDCAD is likely to decline further as 2023 beginsUSDCAD holds onto the late December downside break of the seven-week-old ascending support line, even if the 200-SMA challenges the bears. That said, the downbeat MACD and RSI conditions also favor the Loonie pair sellers as they attack the key SMA surrounding 1.3520. Additionally challenging the bears is the double bottoms marked around 1.3485-80 during the last week, a break of which could quickly drag prices towards the previous monthly low of around 1.3380. In a case where the quote remains bearish past 1.3380, November’s low of 1.3225 will gain the market’s attention. On the contrary, recovery moves need to cross the previous support line from early November, close to 1.3645-50 by the press time, to convince buyers. Even so, the double tops marked the last month at around 1.3700 will be a crucial challenge for the USDCAD optimists. It's worth noting that the pair’s run-up beyond 1.3700 won’t hesitate to challenge the yearly high marked in October around 1.3980. However, November’s peak near 1.3810 could act as a buffer during the anticipated run-up. Overall, USDCAD is likely to remain weak but the 200-SMA can challenge short-term sellers amid the holiday mood.

EURUSD stays on bull’s radar despite recent pullbackEURUSD retreats inside a six-week-old bullish channel as the holiday season allows buyers to take a breather. The pullback move, however, stays unimportant beyond the 1.0590-80 support zone comprising the 100-SMA and an upward-sloping trend line stretched from December 01. Even so, the stated channel’s support line, close to 1.0500 by the press time, will challenge the pair’s further downside. It’s worth noting that the 200-SMA acts as the last defense for bulls around 1.0450. On the flip side, the 1.0700 round figure acts as an immediate hurdle for the EURUSD buyers to crack before aiming for the aforementioned channel’s top line, around 1.0760 at the latest. In a case where the pair remains firmer past 1.0760, May’s peak of around 1.0785 and the 1.0800 round figure may act as the buffers before highlighting the late April swing high surrounding 1.0985 and the 1.1000 threshold. Overall, EURUSD appears losing upside momentum, as per the RSI and MACD signals, but the bears are far from winning the battle.

USDJPY recovery remains doubtfulUSDJPY consolidates the biggest daily loss in 14 years while positing a gradual rebound from the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level of its May-October upside. The recovery moves also gain support from the RSI’s bounce off the oversold territory. However, the early month low near 133.65 challenges the immediate upside, a break of which could validation the Yen pair’s further advances towards a convergence of the 200-DMA and a two-month-old descending resistance line, close to 136.00. In a case where the quote remains firmer past 136.00, the previous support line from, close to 138.80-85, will be crucial as a break of which could welcome bulls. Alternatively, a daily closing below the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement near 131.80 precedes the August 2022 low near 130.40 to challenge the USDJPY bears. Also acting as a downside filter is the 130.00 round figure. Should the pair sellers keep the reins past 130.00, multiple hurdles near 128.30 could offer intermediate halts during the quote’s anticipated south run towards May’s low of 126.35. Overall, USDJPY bears are taking a breather and still hold control despite the latest corrective bounce.
