USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 80.57; (P) 80.85; (R1) 81.12; More...

Intraday bias in USD/JPY remains neutral for the moment with focus on 80.58 support. As long as this support level holds, we'd still favor the case for rise from 76.02 to extend. Above 81.86 minor resistance will indicate that pullback from 84.17 is finished and will flip bias back to the upside for retesting 84.17. However, decisive break of 80.58 will extend the fall to 61.8% retracement of 76.02 to 84.17 at 79.13. Also, such deeper than expected decline would raise the odds that whole rebound from 75.56 is finished and would turn focus to 79.52 resistance turned support for confirmation.

China Watch: Confidence In Chinese Growth Returns

Market sentiment over China's economy has turned more optimistic since the beginning of April, after the encouraging report on March manufacturing PMI. Higher-than-expected inflation and improvement in bank lending have provided more evidence of a return of growth strength. Concerning the macroeconomic policy, the PBOC indicated a mild change in the monetary statement after the monetary policy meeting held on March 31. Yet, while the government policies would be less tight, there's no signal of a very accommodative stance in coming months.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Buy at 1.3085

Yesterday’s breach of previous resistance at 1.3145 suggests the rebound form 1.3033 (last week’s low) is still in progress and would bring a retracement of recent decline to 1.3200-05 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.3368-1.3033), however, reckon 1.3240 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) would limit upside and bring another decline later.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Turn long at 1.0310

As the greenback has recovered after marginal fall to 80.57 yesterday, suggesting consolidation would be seen and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 81.24) cannot be ruled out, however, renewed selling interest should emerge around 81.87 (previous resistance), bring another decline later but near term oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 80.20-30
