Retail chasers will fuel the kick & they'll be a mild handover.

 

118.29 (50% of 114.40/122.20) on the short term radar, then some flak through to the 06 summer line at 117.35, the 61.8.

 

Should attract short term specs & value chasers all the way down from 119.20 if this remains genuine.

 

tokyo, early Lndn action worth keeping tabs on off this (larger) 62% rejection.......the intraday lines (in bold) likely pullback targets if it doesn't catch a pop lower first........

 

if it smells like short covering & it tastes like short covering...........:)

That 38% is a good fulcrum for the early hitters Buk. Once the importers & Agricul guys have done their business we'll get a snook at how much appetite these specs really have.

 

Another low printing daily bar will shine a light on this low trough 62% at the 117.5. A good bunch of stops lurking there & no mistake!

 

1st test will be a hold on 118 as Tokyo closes off.

Morning Steve.

 

Agree Andre, that 50/38% line on Buks post will unveil the likely activity. 2nd wave fall out will be the one to lure in genuine Yen Bulls. This was simply short covering in the main.

 

The Pound/Yen shift off the 78.6 & back to test the support line at 232.20 will also run true to Cables near term axis. 32.30 is a key support & lack of att'n will be a magnet for that 231.0 figure.

 

229.10, the dual 4th Quarter 06 markers & 228.06, the 07 lows come into view on continued pressure.

Not much materialising this morning, everyone waiting for the data prints this afternoon now.

Took a short punt on $/Yen off the failure to penetrate that 38% fib marker and asian high. Pulled that for a small loss as didn't materialise into anything. Pressure building on that fib area now, next watch area, 50% marker just above the figure there. May well see some more Yen demand there, as you guys already mentioned.

Swissy looking tired up at the 61% fib of yesterdays move but hanging out now, see what happens when the US come to the table.

Cable has dissapointingly fallen back into the range, finding support off that 61% fib marker.

Last week, on Thursday and Friday we experienced a move back up on the Euro and Cable against the dollar. Could this have been traders positioning themselves for this coming week?

 

there's still a lot in the mix for this week Steve, but Euro hasn't really altered it's near term course as yet........

 

we'll get a better handle on events on this weeks closing bar....the only remaining (noteworthy) Eurozone data prints tomorrow/Friday with German PMI & Retail Sales.........

 

the bullish top tier channel lines are shouldering it for now, but there are clear levels underneath to climb on if you're seeking pullback opp's......

 

Cable is merely thrashing around inside this month long clack, horrible price action unless you're happy to get your hands dirty.....again, it's cocking it's head towards Stateside data direction for a lead in.....

    • Date: 13th May 2024. Market News – Stock markets traded mixed; Flat USD ahead of US CPI.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Japanese government bond yields surged to multi years highs after the BOJ’s unexpected move to decrease the quantity of bonds it typically purchases during routine operations, signaling a more hawkish stance to the markets. BOJ Kato stated that it’s natural that monetary policy will revert to positive interest rates, while BOJ Governor Ueda signalled the potential for multiple rate hikes ahead. Chinese authorities have kicked off plans to sell $140bn of long-dated bonds on Friday, in order to support investment in key areas and reinforce economic momentum in the second quarter amid the country’s lengthy property crisis. US government plans to raise tariffs to a raft of Chinese exports were weighing on sentiment. BlackRock stated: The Yen’s weakness is turning foreign investors away from Japanese stocks. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows, at 105.58 ahead of US CPI on Wednesday, while USDJPY is holding at 155.80, after retesting May’s high at 155.96. EURUSD steady above 1.0750 as the euro zone prepares for an inflation reading of its own on Friday. USOIL declined amid demand concerns and as traders looked ahead to an OPEC+ meeting on supply policy. On the supply front, the Iraqi Oil Minister initially claimed that production cuts were adequate and opposed further reductions but later deferred decisions to OPEC. Next OPEC+ meeting: June 1. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold corrected to $2349 per ounce, from $2380 highs. Market Trends:   Asian stocks fluctuate between gains and losses, as sentiment was impacted by disappointing Chinese economic data alongside optimism amid reports indicating that the country plans to initiate the sale of ultra-long bonds. European markets are also narrowly mixed in opening trade, while US futures are slightly higher. The NASDAQ is outperforming. Bonds are finding buyers and the 10-year Treasury yield is down -1.0 bp, while Bund and Gilt yields have corrected -1.3 bp and -2.3 bp in early trade. Always trade with strict risk management.
