A bearish theme in USDJPY remains intact and last week’s move down reinforces current conditions. 151.06, 76.4% of the Dec 3 - Jan 10 bull leg, has been pierced. A clear break of it would open 149.69, the Dec 9 low. Firm resistance is seen at 154.70, the 50-day EMA. Note that the pair has entered oversold territory. A recovery would be considered corrective and would allow the oversold condition to unwind.
EURGBP gains last week appear to have undermined a recent bearish threat, however, the pullback from last Thursday’s high does highlight a developing bearish threat, once again. 0.8378, the Jan 6 high, has been defined as a ley short-term resistance. Clearance of it would strengthen a bullish condition and signal scope for a stronger recovery. For bears, a continuation lower would open 0.8248, the Feb 3 low and bear trigger.
GBPUSD is fading further off the Feb 5 high. The pair has recently traded above the 20- and 50-day EMAs, and pierced 1.2523, the Jan 27 high. A resumption of gains would signal scope for a move towards 1.2610, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key short-term support to watch has been defined at 1.2249, the Jan 3 low. Clearance of this level would instead highlight a reversal and strengthen a bearish threat.
