OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - EURUSD Resistance Is At The 50-Day EMA

Jan-29 11:26

In FX, EURUSD has pulled back from its recent highs but for now, remains in a short-term bull cycle - a correction. The pair has pierced the 50-day EMA, at 1.0459. A clear break of the average would strengthen short-term bullish conditions and signal scope for a continuation higher near-term. Sights are on 1.0574, 38.2% of the Sep 25 - Jan 13 bear leg. Initial support to watch is 1.0392, the 20-day EMA. A move through the EMA would signal a possible reversal.
A bull cycle in GBPUSD remains in play and the pair is trading closer to its recent highs. The 20-day EMA has been breached and attention is on the 50-day EMA, at 1.2517 and an important resistance. Clearance of the average would highlight a stronger bull cycle. Medium-term trend signals are unchanged, they remain bearish. A reversal lower would refocus attention on 1.2100, the Jan 10 low and bear trigger. First support to watch is 1.2392, the 20-day EMA.
USDJPY is trading closer to its recent lows. The primary trend condition remains bullish, however, Monday’s move down highlights a stronger bear threat. The pair has breached the 50-day EMA and a trendline drawn from the Sep 16 ‘24 low. A resumption of weakness would open 152.55, 61.8% of the Dec 3 - Jan 10 bull leg. Initial firm resistance is at 156.75, the Jan 23 high. Clearance of this level would be a bullish development.

Spanish inflation data came in ahead of expectations, with the headline driven by fuel prices as well as leisure. The release added some pretty to Bund prices, which shed ~20 ticks on release, but swiftly recovered the losses. Nonetheless, Bund futures remain well within range of cycle lows and the bear trigger at 132.71 - printed at the resumption of trade following the weekend.
Currency markets trade with little conviction. The USD is marginally weaker as AUD, NZD and CAD recover off recent pullback lows, giving trade a consolidatory theme after fierce price action in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
Stock futures are lower, pointing to another lower open on Wall Street - building on the weakness seen into the Friday close.
Significant newsflow has been few and far between, with US domestic politics focusing on the internal Republican debate over H-1B visas and the passing of President Carter. We expect US bond and equity markets are to be closed across the Day of Mourning, set for January 9th.
Focus for the duration of Monday trade will be on the MNI Chicago PMI at 1445GMT, expected to tick up to 43.0 from 40.2 previously. We anticipate volumes and broader liquidity to remain very light over the coming two sessions, particularly with tomorrow's European market closures and early closes elsewhere. EUR futures are posting cumulative volumes ~10% below an already subdued average for this time of day.
