GBPJPY – British Pound Looking For Momentum Vs Yen

Key Highlights

• The British Pound gained traction near 126.00 against the Japanese yen, and traded higher.
• There was a major triangle pattern on the 4-hours chart of GBPJPY, which is broken to clear the way for more upsides.
• Today, the UK Claimant Change figure will be released by the National Statistics, which is forecasted to post 2.6K in Sep 2016.
• The UK ILO Unemployment Rate is forecasted to remain stable at 4.9% in Sep 2016.

GBPJPY Technical Analysis
The British Pound recovered recently from the 126.00 support against the Japanese yen, and it looks like the GBPJPY pair may gain further in the short term.

GBPJPY-10.19.2016-768x401.png


The pair enjoyed a minor upside move, and managed to clear a major triangle pattern on the 4-hours chart. The pair is also above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 129.61 high to 124.77 low, which is a positive sign.

The 4-hours RSI has moved above the 50 level, which means the British Pound buyers may attempt for further gains going forward in GBPJPY towards 128.00. On the downside, the broken triangle trend line may now act as a support area in the short term.

• There is a monster resistance formed near 0.7720-40, acting as a resistance for the AUDUSD pair.
• Today, the Australian Consumer Price Index released by the RBA and republished by the Australian Bureau of Statistics posted an increase of 0.7% in Q3 2016, compared with the forecast of 0.4%.
• The yearly change for the Australian Consumer Price Index came in at 1.3% in Q3 2016.

AUDUSD Technical Analysis
The Aussie Dollar was seen trading higher during this past week towards 0.7740 vs the US Dollar. However, the AUDUSD failed to gain momentum and declined. Can it trade higher this week?

AUDUSD-10.26.2016-768x401.png


If we have look at the 4-hours chart of AUDUSD, there is a monster resistance formed near 0.7720-40. It was the main reason for the failure this past week. The pair even registered a false break, and traded down.

The pair is once again testing the same resistance area, so we need to see if there can be a break or not moving ahead. A daily close above 0.7740 may call for further gains in AUDUSD.

· The AUDJPY pair is likely forming a double top near 87.50, but there is a chance of a break higher as well.

· Today, the Australian Westpac Consumer Confidence released by the Faculty of Economics and Commerce Melbourne Institute posted an increase from 97.4 to 99.6 in Feb 2017.

· Later today, the US Consumer Price Index for Jan 2017 will be released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is forecasted to increase by 2.4% (YoY).

The Aussie dollar remained supported against the Japanese yen, but it looks like the AUDJPY is currently facing a monster resistance near 87.50-70.

AUDJPY-02.15.2017-768x401.png


The stated level was a resistance earlier, and once again acting as a barrier. A failure to break the 87.50 resistance might call for a double top pattern. If the pair starts a decline, there can be a test of a bullish trend line on the daily chart at 86.00.

On the other hand, if the pair breaks higher, there can be a move towards the 1.236 extension of the last decline from the 87.53 high to 83.74 low at 88.42.

After trading as high as 0.7731, the pair moved down, and broke a bullish trend line break at 0.7685 on the 4-hours chart. The pair was also able to clear the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.7605 low to 0.7731 high.

So, it looks like the pair is heading further lower, and may test a bullish trend line at 0.7640. The trend line also coincides with the 100 simple moving average (H4). The Aussie dollar buyers might attempt to prevent the 0.7640-20 support area.

The Aussie dollar struggled to trade above 0.7700 against the US Dollar, and it looks like the AUDUSD pair settled below a crucial juncture with support at 0.7670.

There was a monster support confluence area formed near 0.7670. There were two bullish trend lines at 0.7665 on the 4-hours chart. Plus, the 100 simple moving average was aligned with the trend lines at 0.7670.

The highlighted support area clearly was very important. A break and close below 0.7670 has opened the doors for further declines in AUDUSD. The same broken support at 0.7670 may now act as a resistance in the short term.
