GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

GBP/USD's decline from 1.3433 resumed last week and hit as low as 1.2596. Initial bias stays on the downside this week and further fall should be seen to 100% projection of 1.3433 to 1.2842 to 1.3047 at 1.2456. On the upside, above 1.2719 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first. But outlook will stay bearish as long as 1.2842 support turned resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, a medium term top should be in place at 1.3433, and price actions from there are correcting whole up trend from 1.0351 (2022 low). Deeper decline is now expected as long as 55 D EMA (now at 1.2977) holds, to 38.2% retracement of 1.0351 to 1.3433 at 1.2256, which is close to 1.2298 structural support. Strong support should be seen there to bring rebound.

In the long term picture, as long as 1.2298 support holds, rise from 1.0351 long term bottom is expected to continue. But in any case, outlook is neutral at best as long as 1.4248 structural resistance holds.

USD/CHF Weekly Outlook

USD/CHF's rally from 0.8733 extended to as high as 0.8916 last week, but retreated after hitting 61.8% retracement of 0.9223 to 0.8374 at 0.8899. Initial bias remains neutral this week for consolidations first. But outlook will stay bullish as long as 0.8773 resistance turned support holds. Sustained trading above 0.8899 will pave the way back to 0.9223 key resistance.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 0.8332 (2023 low) are currently seen as a medium term corrective pattern. Rise from 0.8374 is seen as the third leg. Overall outlook will continue to stay bearish as long as 0.9223 resistance holds. Break of 0.8332 low is in favor at a later stage when the consolidation completes.

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. Rejection by 55 M EMA suggest that this fall is in progress. Break of 61.8% retracement of 0.7065 to 1.0342 at 0.8317 will pave the way back to 0.7065.

AUD/USD Weekly Report

AUD/USD's fall from 0.6491 resumed last week. Initial bias stays on the downside this week for 61.8% projection of 0.6941 to 0.6511 from 0.6687 at 0.6421. Firm break there will target 100% projection at 0.6257 next. On the upside, above 0.6511 support turned resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first. But outlook will stay bearish as long as 0.6687 resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, rise from 0.6269 (2023 low) should have completed with three waves up to 0.6941. Corrective pattern from 0.6169 (2022 low) is now extending with another falling leg. Deeper decline would be seen back to 0.6269 as sideway trading extends.

In the long term picture, the down trend from 1.1079 (2011 high) should have completed at 0.5506 (2020 low) already. It's unsure yet whether price actions from 0.5506 are developing into a corrective pattern, or trend reversal. But in either case, fall from 0.8006 is seen as the second leg of the pattern. Firm break of 0.7156 resistance will argue that the third leg has already started towards 0.8006.

USD/CAD Weekly Outlook

USD/CAD's break of 1.3976 key resistance last week confirms larger up trend resumption. Initial bias remains on the upside this week. Next near term target is 61.8% projection of 1.3418 to 1.3958 from 1.3841 at 1.4175. On the downside, below 1.4032 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral and bring consolidations first. But outlook will stay bullish as long as 1.3841 support holds, in case of retreat.

In the bigger picture, up trend from 1.2005 (2021) is resuming with break of 1.3976 key resistance (2022 high). Next target is 61.8% projection of 1.2401 to 1.3976 from 1.3418 at 1.4391. Now, medium term outlook will remain bullish as long as 1.3418 support holds, even in case of deep pullback.

In the longer term picture, price actions from 1.4689 (2016 high) are seen as a consolidation pattern, which might have completed at 1.2005. That is, up trend from 0.9506 (2007 low) is expected to resume at a later stage. This will remain the favored case as long as 1.3418 support holds.

GBP/JPY Weekly Outlook

GBP/JPY's late decline and break of 55 D EMA (now at 195.24) argue that corrective rise from 180.00 has completed with three waves up to 199.79, after hitting rising channel resistance. Initial bias is back on the downside this week. Firm break of 193.45 resistance turned support will bring deeper fall to 183.70 next. For now risk will stay on the downside as long as 198.43 resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 208.09 are seen as a correction to whole rally from 123.94 (2020 low). The range of consolidation should be set between 38.2% retracement of 123.94 to 208.09 at 175.94 and 208.09. However, decisive break of 175.94 will argue that deeper correction is underway.

In the longer term picture, considering bearish divergence condition in W MACD, 208.09 is at least a medium term top. It's still early to conclude that the up trend from 122.75 (2016 low) has completed. But it's at least in a medium term corrective phase, with risk of correction to 55 M EMA (now at 172.07).

EUR/JPY Weekly Outlook

EUR/JPY's fall from 166.67 continued last week after interim recovery. The break of 55 D EMA (now at 163.41) argues that corrective rebound from 154.40 has completed with three waves up to 166.67. That came after rejection by 61.8% retracement of 175.41 to 154.40 at 167.38. Initial bias is now on the downside this week for 155.14 support next. For now, risk will stay on the downside as long as 165.02 resistance holds, in case of recovery.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 175.41 are seen as correction to rally from 114.42 (2020 low). The range of consolidation should have been set between 38.2% retracement of 114.42 to 175.41 at 152.11 and 175.41 high. However, decisive break of 152.11 would argue that deeper correction is underway.

In the long term picture, considering bearish divergence condition in W MACD, 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. But a medium term corrective phase is in progress with risk of deeper fall back to 55 M EMA (now at 147.33).

EUR/GBP Weekly Outlook

EUR/GBP edged lower to 0.8259 last week but recovered since then. Initial bias remains neutral this week and outlook stay bearish as long as 0.8446 resistance holds. On the downside, below 0.8306 minor support will turn bias back to the downside for 0.8259 first, and then 0.8201 key support. Nevertheless, firm break of 0.8446 will confirm short term bottoming.

In the bigger picture, down trend from 0.9267 (2022 high) is in progress. Next target is 0.8201 (2022 low), but strong support should be seen there to bring rebound. However, outlook will remain bearish as long as 0.8624 resistance holds even in case of strong rebound. Decisive break of 0.8201 will indicate long term bearish reversal.

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 Weekly Outlook

EURAUD stayed in consolidation above 1.6161 last week and outlook is unchanged. Initial bias remains neutral this week and further fall is expected with 1.6598 resistance intact. On the downside, below 1.6161 will target a test on 1.5996/6002 key support zone.

In the bigger picture, as long as 1.5996 support holds, up trend from 1.4281 (2022 low) is still expected to resume through 1.7180 at a later stage. However decisive break of 1.5996 will argue that the medium term trend might have reversed. Deeper fall would be seen to 61.8% retracement of 1.4281 (2022 low) to 1.7180 at 1.5388, even as a correction.

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 1.6032) 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 Weekly Outlook

EUR/CHF still didn't succeed in breaking out of converging range last week and outlook is unchanged. Initial bias remains neutral this week first. On the downside, break of 0.9331 will target 0.9305 support first. Firm break there will bring retest of 0.9209 low. On the upside, break of 0.9444 will bring stronger rally to 0.9506 resistance next.

In the bigger picture, fall from 0.9928 is seen as part of the long term down trend. Repeated rejection by 55 D EMA (now at 0.9410) keeps outlook bearish for breaking through 0.9209 low at a later stage. Nevertheless, sustained trading above 55 D EMA will confirm medium term bottoming at 0.9209 and bring stronger rebound back towards 0.9928 key resistance.

In the long term picture, fall from 1.2004 (2018 high) is part of the multi-decade down trend. Corrective pattern from 0.9407 (2022 low) might have completed with three waves to 0.9928. 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. For now, outlook will stay bearish as long as 0.9928 resistance holds, even in case of strong rebound.
