USD/JPY, AUD/USD: Make Or Break Levels – SocGen

Yohay Elam

The Japanese yen is  battling the very round level of 100 while AUD/USD is  struggling with higher ground.  What’s next? Here is the view from SocGen:

Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews:

USD/JPY has been trading through the graphical support of 100. Short term indicators have been posting positive divergence however a meaningful recovery has so far remained elusive.  Short term, a retest of recent lows at 98.90/98.20,  also a projection for the down move can’t be ruled out. However  this will remain a crucial level.

In case this gives way, USD/JPY will head for a deeper down move with  next projections at 97/96.80 initially.  100.60 is an immediate resistance while hourly descending trend at 101.40 will affirm early signs of recovery.

USDJPY hourly chart

AUD/USD  tested the neckline of the inverted H&S at 0.7780. The pattern highlights significance of the stabilization after a steady downtrend until January this year.

A break above 0.7780 will confirm the formation and indicate extension in rebound towards last May highs of 0.8160.
