JGB strength topped out at the week’s highs of 149.20, reversing into the weekly close and keeping the focus pointed lower. Any further weakness puts prices within range of support at 148.11, the Sep 7 low and a break would confirm a resumption of the bear cycle. Resistance for now remains intact at 150.81, the Aug 5 high.

Having traded lower Tuesday-into-Wednesday, USD/CAD bounced into the Thursday close, with gains holding into the weekly finish. Key resistance and the bull trigger, has been defined at 1.3838, the Sep 30 high. To the downside, attention is on the next firm support at 1.3513, the 20-day EMA. A break would strengthen bearish conditions.

AUDUSD TECHS: Bear Flag Formation

Oct-07 19:30
  • RES 4: 0.6750 50-day EMA

  • SUP 4: 0.6255 1.236 proj of the Apr 5 - May 12 - Jun 3 price swing

AUDUSD continues to consolidate and this pause in the downtrend appears to be a bear flag, reinforcing bearish trend conditions. The recent break of support at 0.6682, Jul 14 low and a bear trigger strengthened a bearish case and this maintains the broader downward price sequence of lower lows and lower highs. The focus is on 0.6337 next, the Apr 24 2020 low. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 0.6610, the 20-day EMA.
