AUSSIE 10-YEAR TECHS: (H3) Extends Spell of Strength

Jan-13 23:15
  • RES 3: 97.185 - High Apr 5
  • RES 2: 97.040 - High Aug 03
  • RES 1: 96.714 - High Dec 9
  • PRICE: 96.420 @ 15:47 GMT Jan 13
  • SUP 1: 95.675 - Low Oct 24
  • SUP 2: 95.670 - Low Jun 17 and a key support
  • SUP 3: 95.360 - 1.00 proj of the Aug - Oct - Dec price swing

Aussie 10y futures extended their bounce off cycle lows with a solid bounce last Friday. The rally puts prices around 40 ticks above the late December lows, but still short of the next material resistance at 96.714. For now, the bear leg remains in play and the recent continuation lower into end-2022 suggests scope for weakness near-term. An extension would expose the key support at 95.675, the Oct 24 low and 95.670, the Jun 17 low, on the continuation chart.

USDCAD TECHS: Downtrend Remains Intact

Jan-13 21:10

  • SUP 3: 1.3226 Low Nov 15 and bear trigger
  • SUP 4: 1.3205 61.8% retracement of the Aug 11 - Oct 13 rally

The short-term outlook in USDCAD remains bearish. The pair has breached a key support at the 1.3385 level - the Dec 5 low. The break strengthens bearish conditions and opens 1.3317, the Nov 24 / 25 low. The bear trigger lies at 1.3226, the Nov 15 low. On the upside, key resistance is far-off at 1.3705, the Dec 16 high.

Key support lies at 0.6688, Jan 3 low.
