USDJPY: Broader Bias Points Lower.

 

USDJPY: The risk continues to point to the downside as USDJPY holds on its medium term downside bias. This leaves USDJPY targeting the 77.88/66 levels. A violation of here will aim at the 77.00 level, its psycho level. Below here will call for more declines towards the 77.35 level and then the 76.49 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower suggesting further declines. On the upside, the pair must break and hold above the 79.64 level to annul its present bearishness. This could push the pair further towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. All in all, USDJPY remains biased to the downside with risk towards its key support.

USDJPY: Though facing corrective recovery threats triggered from the 77.13 level, it continues to hold on to its medium term downtrend. As long as it continues to hold below its falling trendline (red), this view remains valid. This leaves the risk of a return to the 77.13/00 levels on the cards. Below here will call for more declines towards the 76.49 level and then the 76.00 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. On the upside, the pair must break and hold above the 79.64 level and its declining trendline to put on hold its medium term downtrend. This could push the pair further lower towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. All in all, USDJPY remains biased to the downside medium term despite its current recovery attempts.

USDCAD: Shooting Star Candle Surfaces.

 

USDCAD: The pair may have closed higher on Thursday but left a lot to be desired after it printed a shooting star candle pattern. This candle pattern is both negative and upside reversal signal suggesting the pair may have ended its correction. This will leave USDCAD targeting the 0.9692 level where a violation will call for more declines towards the 0.9631/00 levels. A break will aim at the 0.9500 level and possibly the 0.9450 level. Alternatively, the pair will have to return above 0.9815 level to resume its correction. Further resistance lies at the 0.9945 level. This if seen could propel it further towards the 1.0000/83 levels. All in all, the pair remains biased to the downside in the medium term though facing recovery risks.

USDJPY: As referenced in our previous analysis of the possibility of the pair failing at or ahead of its trendline resistance (red), we are currently seeing that happening. This development has turned the risk lower with the possibility of recapturing its key support at the 77.13/00 levels. A cut through here will target further declines towards the 76.49 level and then the 76.00 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower suggesting further declines. On the upside, the pair must break and hold above the 79.64 level to halt its broader bearishness. This if seen could push the pair further lower towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. All in all, USDJPY remains biased to the downside in the medium term.

USDJPY: With USDJPY continuing to be weak and vulnerable, further declines cannot be ruled out. As long as it holds below its falling trendline (red), this view remains valid. This leaves the risk of an eventual return return to the 77.13/00 levels on the cards. Below here will call for more declines towards the 76.49 level and then the 76.00 level. Its daily RSI is bearish and pointing lower supporting this view. On the upside, the pair must break and hold above the 79.64 level and its declining trendline to put on hold its medium term downtrend. This could push the pair further lower towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. All in all, USDJPY remains biased to the downside medium term despite its current recovery attempts.

USDJPY: The pair is now seen back above its falling trendline and targeting the 79.64 level. USDJPY will have to hold above here on a daily closing basis to convince the market of further upside gains. This if seen could push the pair further higher towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. Alternatively, a failure to hold on to its present upside offensive could mean a return to the 77.13/00 levels. If however, this fails, expect USDJPY to weaken further towards the 76.49 level and then the 76.00 level. All in all, USDJPY faces further bull pressure.

USDJPY: With a follow through higher currently seen and a break above the 79.64 level occurring, further bullish offensive is expected. This development will leave USDJPY targeting its psycho level at 80.00 level where a breach will turn focus to the 81.77 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher suggesting further strength. On the downside, support lies at the 79.64 level initially where we may see a reversal of roles. However, if this level breaks, expect the pair to decline further towards the 78.63 level. Further down, support resides at the 77.13/00 levels with a cut through here targeting further declines towards the 76.49 level. All in all, USDJPY remains biased to the upside short term

USDJPY: The pair has triggered its bullish offensive and presently threatens further upside. As long as the pair holds above the 79.64/21 levels, its broader upside bias remains intact. With that said, further strength is now likely towards the 80.59 level where a breach will turn attention to the 81.77 level. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher supporting this view. Alternatively, a failure to hold on to its present upside offensive could mean a return to the 79.64/21 levels. Further down, support lies at the 77.13/00 levels. If however this fails, expect USDJPY to weaken further towards the 76.49 level. All in all, USDJPY faces further bull pressure.

USDJPY: With a second day of upside offensive seeing the pair breaking and holding above the 80.65 level to resume its medium term uptrend, further strength is envisaged. The 81.00 level is now being targeted with a violation of here opening the door for a run at the 81.77 level and possibly higher towards the 82.00 level. Alternatively, a failure of the 79.21/09 levels to hold could trigger further declines towards the 78.00 level. Further down, support lies at the 77.13/00 levels. All in all, USDJPY still faces corrective threats.

USDJPY: With USDJPY bullish and threatening further upside, a move higher possibly towards look the 82.82 level is likely. A breach of here will resume its broader medium term uptrend. Further out, resistance resides at 83.30 level, its April 02’2012 high. On the downside, support comes in at the 81.67 level where a respite may occur and turn it higher again. Below here if seen could expose the 80.65 level where a reversal of roles is likely to occur. However, a violation of here will call for a run at the 79.21/09 levels. All in all, USDJPY continues to retain its medium term uptrend.

USDJPY: The pair has resumed its medium term uptrend after ending its corrective recovery. This leaves the pair targeting further upside towards the 84.50 level. Above here will bring further upside offensive towards the 85.00 level and then the 85.80 level, its weekly ema. Its daily RSI is bullish and pointing higher supporting this view. On the downside, support comes in at the 83.30 level, its April 02’2012 high. A cut through here will set the stage for more declines towards the 82.82 level where a reversal of roles should occur and turn it higher. However, if this fails to happen, expect further declines to develop towards the 81.67 level where a respite may occur and turn it higher again. All in all, USDJPY continues to retain its medium term uptrend.

    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
