Aug-20 20:35

  • The full Jackson Hole schedule typically isn't revealed until 8pm ET the night before the keynote (so, Thursday August 27) though in the week leading up to the event we usually get some early indications of global central bank officials' appearances.
  • This year's theme for Jackson Hole is "Financial Innovation: Implications for Payments and Policy."

  • SUP 4: 1.3899 50.0% retracement of the May 1 - Jun 24 bull cycle 

The USDCAD trend structure remains bullish and the bear cycle since Jun 24 is considered corrective. The pair has breached the 20-day EMA and attention is on the next important support at 1.4017, the 50-day EMA. The average has been pierced, however, it remains intact and the latest recovery is encouraging for bulls. A clear break of it would signal scope for a deeper retracement.

AUDUSD is holding on to the bulk of its latest gains. A bear cycle remains intact and - for now - recent gains are considered corrective. The pair has pierced the 50-day EMA, at 0.7011. A clear break of the average would highlight a stronger short-term bounce and signal scope for a continued retracement of the May 6 - Jun 30 bear leg. Key support and the bear trigger lies at 0.6865, the Jun 30 low. A breach of it would resume the downtrend.

  • SUP 4: 181.87 Low Mar 16 

EURJPY is holding on to its latest gains. Sights are on the key short-term bull hurdles at 185.86 (pierced), the Jun 30 high, and 186.32, the Jun 16 and 17 high. Clearance of both price points would be a bullish development. On the downside, a key support to watch lies at 183.17, the Jun 24 low. A clear break of this level would instead pave the way for an extension towards 182.05, the May 6 low.
