Trade Idea Update: USD/JPY – Hold short at 80.10

Despite overnight brief rise to 80.15, the subsequent retreat has retained our bearishness and consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness to 79.23-28 (previous minor support and current level of the Ichimoku cloud bottom), however, a sustained breach below there is needed to signal the rebound form 79.01 has ended and bring retest of this level, otherwise, further consolidation would take place.

Trade Idea: AUD/USD – Sell at 0.9935

As aussie has fallen again after brief recovery to 0.9935 yesterday, suggesting recent decline is still in progress and weakness to 0.9700 would be seen, however, loss of near term downward momentum should prevent sharp fall below previous support at 0.9664 and risk from there has increased for a corrective rebound to take place soon. Above 0.9800 would bring recovery to 0.9850 and possibly 0.9900 but renewed selling interest should emerge around 0.9935 and bring such a decline to aforesaid downside targets.
