USD/JPY's fall from 158.86 resumed by breaking through 150.29 support last week. The development suggests that whole rally from 139.57 has completed with three waves up to 158.86. Fall from there is now seen as the third leg of the pattern from 161.94 high. Initial bias stays on the downside this week for 61.8% retracement of 139.57 to 158.86 at 146.32 next. On the upside, above 150.97 resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first, before staging another decline.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 161.94 are seen as a corrective pattern to rise from 102.58 (2021 low). In case of another fall, strong support should be seen from 38.2% retracement of 102.58 to 161.94 at 139.26 to bring rebound. However, sustained break of 139.26 would open up deeper medium term decline to 61.8% retracement at 125.25.

In the long term picture, it's still early to conclude that up trend from 75.56 (2011 low) has completed. A medium term corrective phase should have commenced, with risk of deep correction towards 55 M EMA (now at 136.50).

GBP/USD's extended rally last week suggests that stronger rise is underway even still as a correction to fall from 1.3433. Initial bias stays on the upside this week for 1.2810 resistance first. Firm break there will target 61.8% retracement of 1.3433 to 1.2099 at 1.2923 next. On the downside, below 1.2562 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral again first. But another rise will remain in favor as long as 1.2331 support holds, in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, rise from 1.0351 (2022 low) should have already completed at 1.3433 (2024 high), and the trend has reversed. Further fall is now expected as long as 1.2810 resistance holds. Deeper decline should be seen to 61.8% retracement of 1.0351 to 1.3433 at 1.1528, even as a corrective move. However, firm break of 1.2810 will dampen this bearish view and bring retest of 1.3433 high instead.

In the long term picture, price actions from 1.0351 (2022 low) are seen as a corrective pattern to the long term down trend from 2.1161 (2007 high) only. Outlook will be neutral at best as long as 1.4248 structural resistance holds, even in case of strong rebound.

USD/CHF gyrated lower last week as corrective pattern from 0.9200 extended. While deeper decline cannot be ruled out, larger rally is still expected to continue as long as 38.2% retracement of 0.8374 to 0.9200 at 0.8884 holds. On the upside, above 0.9053 will bring retest of 0.9200 resistance. However, sustained break of 0.8884 will indicate bearish reversal, and target 61.8% retracement at 0.8690 instead.

In the bigger picture, decisive break of 0.9223 resistance will argue that whole down trend from 1.0342 (2017 high) has completed with three waves down to 0.8332 (2023 low). Outlook will be turned bullish for 1.0146 resistance next. Nevertheless, rejection by 0.9223 will retain medium term bearishness for another decline through 0.8332 at a later stage.

In the long term picture, price action from 0.7065 (2011 low ) are seen as a corrective pattern to the multi-decade down trend from 1.8305 (2000 high). Fall from 1.0342 (2016 high) is seen as the second leg. Sustained break of 55 M EMA (now at 0.9131) will indicate that the third leg has already started. However, rejection by 55 M EMA again, followed by break of 61.8% retracement of 0.7065 to 1.0342 at 0.8317, will pave the way back to 0.7065.

AUD/USD's rebound from 0.6087 extended higher last week but lost momentum again just ahead of 38.2% retracement of 0.6941 to 0.6087 at 0.6413. Initial bias is turned neutral this week first. On the downside, firm break of 0.6327 will suggest that the corrective rebound has completed, and bring deeper fall to retest this low. Nevertheless, sustained break of 0.6413 will pave the way back to 61.8% retracement at 0.6615, even still as a correction.

In the bigger picture, fall from 0.6941 (2024 high) is seen as part of the down trend from 0.8006 (2021 high). Next medium term target is 61.8% projection of 0.8006 to 0.6169 from 0.6941 at 0.5806. In any case, outlook will stay bearish as long as 55 W EMA (now at 0.6505) holds.

In the long term picture, prior rejection by 55 M EMA (now at 0.6823) is taken as a bearish signal. But for now, fall from 0.8006 is still seen as the second leg of the corrective pattern from 0.5506 long term bottom (2020 low). Hence, in case of deeper fall, strong support should emerge above 0.5506 to contain downside to bring reversal. However, this view is subject to adjustment if current decline accelerates further.

USD/CAD turned into sideway consolidations last week and outlook is unchanged. Initial bias remains neutral this week first and further fall is expected with 1.4378 resistance intact. Decline from 1.4791 is seen as a correction to rally from 1.3418. Break of 1.4150 will target 1.3946 cluster support (61.8% retracement of 1.3418 to 1.4791 at 1.3942).

In the bigger picture, long term up trend is tentatively seen as resuming with prior breach of 1.4667/89 key resistance zone (2020/2015 highs). Next target is 100% projection of 1.2401 to 1.3976 from 1.3418 at 1.4993. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.3976 resistance turned support holds (2022 high), even in case of deep pullback.

In the longer term picture, up trend from 0.9506 (2007 low) is in progress and possibly resuming. Next target is 61.8% projections of 0.9406 to 1.4689 from 1.2005 at 1.5270. While rejection by 1.4689 will delay the bullish case, further rally will remain in favor as long as 55 M EMA (1.3420) holds.

GBP/JPY's decline last week should confirm prior rejection by 55 D EMA (now at 192.44) which is a bearish sign. However, downside is still contained well above 187.04 support. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, firm break of 187.04 will extend the fall from 199.79 towards 180.00 support.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 208.09 are seen as a correction to rally from 123.94 (2020 low). Strong support should be seen from 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 208.09 at 175.94 to contain downside. However, sustained break of 152.11 will bring deeper fall even still as a correction.

In the longer term picture, while a medium term top was formed at 208.09 (2024 high), it's still early to conclude that the up trend from 122.75 (2016 low) has completed. But GBP/JPY is at least in a medium term corrective phase, with risk of correction to 55 M EMA (now at 173.92).

EUR/JPY's steep decline last week confirmed prior rejection by 55 D EMA (now at 160.47), which is a bearish sign. But downside is contained above 155.72 support so far. Initial bias is neutral this week first. On the downside, firm break of 155.72 will be a strong sign that whole fall from 175.41 is resuming. Retest of 154.40 support should be seen next and firm break there should confirm.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 175.41 are seen as correction to rally from 114.42 (2020 low). Strong support should be seen from 38.2% retracement of 114.42 to 175.41 at 152.11 to contain downside. However, sustained break of 152.11 will bring deeper fall even still as a correction. Next target will be 100% projection of 175.41 to 154.40 from 166.67 at 145.66.

In the long term picture, while 175.41 is at least a medium term top, it's still early to conclude that up trend from 94.11 (2012 low) has completed. A medium term corrective phase is in progress with risk of deeper fall back to 55 M EMA (now at 148.45).

EUR/GBP's decline from 0.8472 resumed by breaking through 0.8290 support last week. Initial bias stays on the downside this week despite weak momentum. Further fall should be seen to retest 0.8221 low. Nevertheless, firm break of 0.8308 minor resistance will turn bias back to the upside for stronger rebound to 0.8376 resistance instead.

In the bigger picture, the medium term down trend remains intact with EUR/GBP staying well inside the falling channel. Prior rejection by 55 W EMA (now at 0.8431) also affirm bearishness. Decisive break of 0.8201/8221 support zone will resume whole down trend from 0.9449 (2020 high) and carry larger bearish implications.

In the long term picture, price action from 0.9499 (2020 high) is seen as part of the long term range pattern from 0.9799 (2008 high). Range trading should continue between 0.8201 and 0.9499, until there is clear signal of imminent breakout.

EUR/AUD's decline last week suggests that corrective pattern from 1.6800 is still extending. With a temporary low formed at 1.6355, initial bias is neutral this week first. On the downside, below 1.6355 will target 61.8% retracement of 1.5963 to 1.6800 at 1.6283. On the upside, firm break of 1.6631 resistance will suggest that the correction has likely completed, and rise from 1.5963 is finally ready to resume.

In the bigger picture, with 1.5996 key support (2024 low) intact, larger up trend from 1.4281 (2022 low) is still in favor to resume through 1.7180 at a later stage. Nevertheless, sustained break of 1.5996 will indicate that such up trend has completed and deeper decline would be seen.

In the longer term picture, rise from 1.4281 is seen as the second leg of the pattern from 1.9799 (2020 high), which is part of the pattern from 2.1127 (2008 high). As long as 55 M EMA (now at 1.6090) holds, this second leg could still extend higher. However, sustained trading below 55 M EMA will open up the bearish case for extending the decline through 1.4281 low.

EUR/CHF dipped lower last week but stayed above 0.9359 support. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, firm break of 0.9359 will revive the case that choppy rise from 0.9204 is merely a correction and has completed. Deeper fall should then be seen back to retest 0.9204 low. However, firm break of 0.9516 and sustained trading above 0.9481 fibonacci level will carry larger bullish implication and extend the rise from 0.9204.

In the bigger picture, sustained trading above 38.2% retracement of 0.9928 to 0.9204 at 0.9481 should confirm that whole fall from 0.9928 has completed at 0.9204. Further rally should then be seen back to 61.8% retracement at 0.9651 and above. However, another rejection by 0.9481 will keep outlook bearish for extending larger down trend through 0.9204 at a later stage.

In the long term picture, as long as 0.9928 resistance holds, the multi-decade down trend remains intact, with decline from 1.2004 (2018 high) as another falling leg. Decisive break of 0.9252 (2023 low) will confirm long term down trend resumption to 61.8% projection of 1.1149 to 0.9407 from 0.9928 at 0.8851.
