- The US Dollar continues to weaken across G10 currencies.
- For USDJPY we see risk lower through a key level at 110.91, which would neutralise the intermediate term bullish tone for an intermediate-term range theme.
- For USDCAD the bearish trend remains very much intact with threat to a key cycle low from May 2016 at 1.2457.
USDJPY – Downside threat
Reinforcement of the failure Thursday back from the 112.38/42 area with a push lower into the end of the week down through support at 111.52 and 111.32 sustaining downside risk into Monday.
Moreover, growing risk is for a push back down through 110.91, which would see an intermediate shift from bearish back to neutral.
For Today:
- We see a downside bias back through key 110.91; break here aims for 110.62, maybe down to 110.18.
- But above 111.58 opens risk up to 112.08.
Intermediate-term Outlook – Upside Risks:
- We see a positive tone with the bullish threat to 115.50/63 and may be up to 118.6.
What Changes This? Below 110.91 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below 108.89.
