The trend outlook for AUDUSD remains bearish following recent weakness and short-term gains are considered corrective. The pair has recently traded below the 20- and 50-day EMAs, suggesting scope for a deeper retracement. A resumption of weakness would open 0.6562, 76.4% of the May 31 - Jun 16 rally. Initial firm resistance is at 0.6721, the Jun 27 high. A breach of this level would suggest scope for a stronger correction.

EURJPY maintains a short-term bullish tone and the latest pullback appears to be a correction. Recent strength resulted in a breach of 150.32, 76.4% of the May 2 - 11 sell-off. This break opens 151.61, the May 2 high and a bull trigger. The 50-day EMA, which intersects at 147.65, remains intact and is a key support. A clear break of it is required to signal a reversal. Initial support lies at 148.59, the May 31 low.
