No change in USD/CAD's outlook. Despite diminishing upside momentum, with 1.2969 support intact, further rise is expected. The choppy decline from 1.2285 should have completed 1.2781 already. Rise from 1.2781 should target 1.3225 resistance to confirm this bullish case, and pave the way to 1.3385 next. However, break of 1.2969 will mix up the outlook again and turn bias back to the downside.

In the bigger picture, current development revives the case that corrective fall from 1.3385 has completed at 1.2781 already. And whole up trend from 1.2061 (2016 low) is ready to resume. Break of 1.3385 will target 61.8% retracement of 1.4689 (2016 high) to 1.2061 at 1.3685. This will now be the favored case as long as 1.2781 support holds.

Intraday bias in AUD/USD remains neutral as sideway trading continue inside 0.7020/7159. As long as 0.7159 resistance holds, near term outlook will remain bearish and further decline is expected. Break of 0.7020 extend the down trend from 0.8135 towards 0.6826 low. However, firm break of 0.7159 will be a first sign of trend reversal, on bullish convergence condition in 4 hour MACD, and turn bias back to the upside for 0.7314 resistance.

In the bigger picture, fall from 0.8135 is tentatively treated as resuming long term down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high). Decisive break of 0.6826 will target 0.6008 key support next (2008 low). On the upside, break of 0.7314 resistance is needed to be the first sign of medium term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook stays bearish even in case of strong rebound.

Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains on the upside for the moment as rebound from 111.37 is in progress. Corrective fall from 114.54 should have completed at 111.37 already. Rise from there should extend to 114.54/73 key resistance zone. On the downside, break of 112.56 will possibly extend the correction from 114.54 to 38.2% retracement of 104.62 to 114.54 at 110.75 before completion.

In the bigger picture, corrective fall from 118.65 (2016 high) should have completed with three waves down to 104.62. Decisive break of 114.73 resistance will likely resume whole rally from 98.97 (2016 low) to 100% projection of 98.97 to 118.65 from 104.62 at 124.30, which is reasonably close to 125.85 (2015 high). This will stay as the preferred case as long as 109.76 support holds. However, decisive break of 109.76 will dampen this bullish view and turns outlook mixed again.

Intraday bias in USD/CHF remains on the upside for 1.0067 resistance. Decisive break there will confirm resumption of larger rise from 0.9186 and should target 1.0342 key resistance next. In any case, near term outlook will remain bullish as long as 0.9954 resistance turned support holds. However, break of 0.9954 will confirm short term topping and bring deeper pull back to 0.9848 support and below.

In the bigger picture, the pullback from 1.0067 has completed at 0.9541 already. And rise from 0.9186 is likely resuming. Firm break of 1.0067 will pave the way to retest 1.0342 key resistance. We'd be cautious on strong resistance from there to limit upside to bring another medium term fall to extend long term range trading.
