  • SUP 4: 1.2369 Low Jun 5 and a key support

The primary uptrend in GBPUSD remains intact. Last week’s pullback appears to be a correction and the move lower is allowing a recent overbought condition to unwind. Support to watch lies at 1.2633, the 20-day EMA. The recent break of 1.2680, the May 10 high and a bull trigger, strengthens a bullish condition and opens 1.2849 next, a Fibonacci projection. A break would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.

JGB TECHS: (M3) Corrects Lower

May-26 22:45
  • RES 3: 151.26 - High Mar 3 2022
  • RES 2: 149.75/150.81 - High Nov 11 / High Aug 5 2022
  • RES 1: 149.53 High Mar 22
  • PRICE: 148.53 @ 16:25 BST May 26
  • SUP 1: 147.31/27 - 50-day EMA / Low Apr 18
  • SUP 2: 145.80/144.73 - Low Mar 13 / Low Feb 13
  • SUP 3: 144.15 - Low Jan 13

JGBs slid sharply Thursday, as hawkish Ueda comments prompted a correction. The bounce Friday helped stall any more protracted pullback, although the gap with next resistance at 149.17 remains. The strong recovery from 147.27, the Apr 18 low confirms the corrective nature of the recent pullback, keeping medium-term attention on 149.53, the Mar 22 high and the bull trigger. A break of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend. To the downside, the 50-dma provides support at 147.31, just above the Apr 18 low.

  • SUP 4: 1.3275 Low Feb 14

USDCAD continues to appreciate and a bullish theme remains intact. Sights are set on resistance at 1.3668, the Apr 28 high and a key level. Clearance of this hurdle would strengthen the case for bulls and pave the way for a move towards 1.3695, the Apr 28 high. On the downside, initial support lies at 1.3485, the May 23 low. A break of 1.3404, the May 16 low, is required to reinstate a bearish threat.
