A bull cycle in USDJPY remains in play and the pair is holding on to its latest gains. This week’s gains have resulted in a move through the 50-day EMA. The break undermines the recent bear theme and highlights a stronger short-term bull cycle. Sights are on 157.72, a Fibonacci retracement point. Clearance of this level would strengthen the bull theme. On the downside, a reversal would expose the key support at 152.10, the Jan 27 low.
Thursday’s strong bounce in EURGBP, and the continuation today, still appears corrective. Key short-term resistance to monitor is 0.8746, the Jan 21 high, where a break would signal a potential trend reversal. Moving average studies are in a bear-mode position and this highlights a dominant downtrend. A resumption of weakness would open 0.8597, the Aug 14 low. The bear trigger is at 0.8613, the Feb 4 low.
GBPUSD traded sharply lower Thursday, extending the current bear cycle and this has resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA. The next key support to watch is at the 50-day EMA, at 1.3495. Note that moving average studies continue to highlight a dominant medium-term uptrend. However, a clear break of the 50-day EMA would undermine this theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. Initial firm resistance is at 1.3733, the Feb 4 high.
