The intraday technical outlook

EURUSD has been trading in a corrective downtrend since Friday.

However, this morning an acceleration of the move lower occurred following the rejection of the Daily Pivot (1.1252).

EURUSD has subsequently traded down to S2 (1.1197) which coincides with the 50% Fibonacci support level.

Bounce off S2 could see EURUSD trade back up to the Daily Pivot.

Alternatively, a failure of the price action to hold above S2 could see EURUSD trade down to S3 (1.1167) which coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci support level.

The intraday technical outlook

USDCHF has been trading in a corrective uptrend since Friday.

During the morning USDCHF has attempted to re-test yesterday’s high and today’s R1 level (0.9731)

A breach of R1 could lead to a continuation of the move higher that sees USDCHF test R2 (0.9758) and the upper level of the down channel.

Alternatively, a failure of the price action to trade above the R1 could see USDCHF re-test the Daily Pivot.




USDCAD

The intraday technical outlook

USDCAD has experienced a volatile morning session as traders wait for the outcome of Canadian Government’s Annual Budget Statement.

This volatility initially led to a test of the Daily Pivot (1.3072) and then a spike that was however rejected at R1 (1.3127).

Market uncertainty could continue in the lead up to tonight’s major event.

Before the release of the budget statement moves above R1 and below S1 (1.3043) could be seen as potential fading opportunities




AUDUSD

The intraday technical outlook

AUDUSD has experienced a volatile morning session as traders digest the Reserve Bank of Australia Governor upbeat assessment of the Australian economy.

This volatility initially led to a broad trading range with both R1 (0.7614) and S1 (.0.7556) being tested.

As AUDUSD has now initially rejected the 50% Fibonacci support level a resumption of the prior uptrend could see AUDUSD re-test R1.

A continuation of the uptrend could see Gold retest the 1260.00 level and then R2).

Alternatively, a failure to hold above the Daily Pivot (1246.50) could lead to the price action trading back down into the 61.8% Fibonacci support area.
