USD calms down after Friday’s gains

On an easy Monday Asian session, we note that the USD calmed down after Thursday’s and Friday’s rally. In the FX market, we note that Japanese Government officials stated that JPY’s weakness does not reflect current fundamentals, which some regarded as a threat for a possible market intervention to the Yen’s rescue. US  stock markets on the other ended the week in the greens yet on Friday sent out some mixed signals. We note that Reddit on its first trading day on Friday, had a good start yet seemed to show some bearish tendencies later on. Gold’s price, on the other hand, seems to have stabilized after Friday’s drop. Finally, oil prices seem to have stabilized somewhat as the week is about to begin.

For the time being, we note that the USD seems to remain the main market mover in the FX market and we expect the greenback to maintain the initiative.  

On a technical level the USD strengthened against the GBP, causing cable to drop, yet the drop was halted at the 1.2600 (S1) support line. Despite the drop and for the time being, we tend to maintain a bias for the sideways motion to continue, yet we note that the RSI indicator remains near the reading of 30, implying a bearish predisposition. Yet for a bearish outlook, we would require the pair to break the 1.2600 (S1) support line and aim for the 1.2480 (S2) support level. Should the bulls take over, we may see the pair, reversing course, breaking the 1.2760 (R1) resistance line thus paving the way for the 1.2890 (resistance level.

Against the CAD the USD strengthened, sending USD/CAD to the 1.3610 (R1) resistance line where the rise of the pair was halted. We view the R1 as still the upper boundary of the pair’s sideways motion. We tend to maintain our bias for the sideways motion to continue, yet note that the RSI indicator remains above the reading of 50, implying a residue of a bullish sentiment in the market for the pair. Yet for a bullish outlook, we would require the pair to break the 1.3610 (R1) resistance line and take aim if not breach the 1.3710 (R2) resistance level. On the other hand, for a bearish outlook to be adopted, the pair has to drop and break the 1.3485 (S1) support line which is the lower boundary of the current sideways motion, which would open the gates for the 1.3365 (S2) support level.
