A bear trend in JGB futures persists, erasing the corrective bounce in recent weeks. The contract for now is trading just above key support and bear trigger at 143.44, the Nov 1 low. A stronger reversal higher is required to signal the end of the recent downward phase. Key resistance is at 145.95, the Mar 28 high. A break would signal scope for a climb towards the bull trigger at 147.74, the mid-January high.
USDCAD TECHS: Continues To Find Support

- RES 1: 1.3748/85 61.8% of the Apr 16 - Mar 16 bear leg / High Apr 30

- SUP 4: 1.3478 Low Apr 4
USDCAD erased the Thursday gains into the close, however the bullish trend condition remains intact above the 1.669 20-day EMA and 1.3590 bull trigger. Recently, key supports at 1.3642, the 50-day EMA, and 1.3610, the May 3 low, have been pierced. But a clear break of both levels is needed to threaten the bullish theme and instead signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, a stronger resumption of gains would refocus attention on the bull trigger at 1.3846, the Apr 16 high.
AUDUSD TECHS: Corrective Pullback Extends

AUDUSD traded lower this week. The latest pullback appears to be a correction and a bullish condition remains intact following recent gains. The pair has recently breached a key short-term hurdle at 0.6668, the Mar 8 high. The break strengthens a bullish theme and a resumption of gains would open 0.6751, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, support to watch lies at 0.6576, the 50-day EMA.
