- RES 2: 148.74 - High Jul 24 (cont)
- RES 1: 147.74 - High Jan 15 and bull trigger
- PRICE: 145.13 @ 15:40 GMT Mar 15
- SUP 1: 144.60 - Low Dec 08 and 11 (cont)
- SUP 2: 143.44 - Low Oct 31 (cont)
- SUP 3: 143.29 - 2.618 proj of the Mar 22 - Apr 18 - May 12 swing
Recent weakness in JGBs resulted in a low print of 144.90 on Friday. A stronger reversal higher is required to signal the end of the recent corrective phase. The bull trigger has been defined at 147.74, the mid-January high. A break would resume the uptrend. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting an uptrend. For bears, a resumption of weakness would potentially open the 144.60 support.
USDCAD TECHS: Remains Above The Mar 8 Low
- RES 4: 1.3729 76.4% retracement of the Nov 1 - Dec 27 bear leg
- RES 3: 1.3661 High Nov 27
- RES 2: 1.3623 61.8% retracement of the Nov 1 - Dec 27 bear leg
- RES 1: 1.3606 High Feb 28 and the bull trigger
- PRICE: 1.3532 @ 16:18 GMT Mar 15
- SUP 1: 1.3420 Low Mar 8
- SUP 2: 1.3359 Low Jan 31 and key S/T support
- SUP 3: 1.3343 Low Jan 12
- SUP 4: 1.3288 Low Jan 5
USDCAD short-term conditions remain bearish, however, a continuation of the latest recovery would undermine this theme and expose key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.3606, the Feb 28 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since December 27. For bears, a move below 1.3420, the Mar 8 low, would resume bearish activity and open 1.3359, the Jan 31 low.

The latest pullback in AUDUSD appears to be a correction. The pair has pierced support around the 50-day EMA - at 0.6572. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper pullback towards the next key support at 0.6478, the Mar 5 low. On the upside, clearance of resistance at 0.6668, the Mar 8 high, is required to resume the bull cycle and open 0.6708, a Fibonacci retracement.
