AUDUSD TECHS: Still Trading Above Support

Mar-24 20:30
  • RES 4: 0.6429 High Dec 12 ‘24
  • RES 3: 0.6414 38.2% retracement of the Sep 30 ‘24 - Feb 3 bear leg              
  • RES 2: 0.6409 High Feb 21 and a bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 0.6391 High Mar 17 / 18 
  • PRICE: 0.6272 @ 16:56 GMT Mar 24
  • SUP 1: 0.6258 Low Mar 21
  • SUP 2: 0.6187 Low Feb 4
  • SUP 3: 0.6171/6088 Low Feb 4 / 3 and a key support
  • SUP 4: 0.6045 1.500 proj of the Sep 30 - Nov 6 - 7 price swing

A short-term bullish theme in AUDUSD remains intact and the latest pullback appears corrective. Key short-term support to watch lies at 0.6187, the Mar 4 low. A break of this level is required to reinstate a bear threat. First support lies at 0.6258, the Mar 21 low. A resumption of gains would refocus attention on 0.6409, the Feb 21 high. Clearance of this hurdle would strengthen a bull cycle and resume the uptrend that started Feb 3.      

EURJPY TECHS: Bullish Outlook

Mar-24 20:00
  • RES 4: 165.43 High Nov 8        
  • RES 3: 164.90 High Dec 30 ‘24 and a key medium-term resistance   
  • RES 2: 164.55 High Jan 7
  • RES 1: 164.19 High Mar 18 and the bull trigger 
  • PRICE: 162.51 @ 16:55 GMT Mar 24 
  • SUP 1: 160.74 Low Mar 20
  • SUP 2: 160.28 50-day EMA 
  • SUP 3: 158.90 Low Mar 10  
  • SUP 4: 158.00 Round number support 

The recent move down in EURJPY appears corrective and has allowed an overbought trend condition to unwind. Short-term pivot support to watch is 160.28, the 50-day EMA. A break of this level would signal potential for a deeper retracement. Recent gains resulted in a print above resistance at 164.08, the Jan 24 high. A clear break of this hurdle would open 164.90, the Dec 30 ‘24 high.
