Forex Technical Update
July 8, 2010
- Daily: The USD/JPY has been very weak, but seems to have found a bottom at 87. After several failed daily attempts at breaking below this level, the market started to rally during yesterday’s US session.
- The market is now near 88.50. The first level of possible resistance is at 89.30. However a cluster of resistance resides at the 90 level. This is a declining trendline, and convergence of 50 and 200 period simple moving averages. It is also between 50% and 62% retracement.
- The momentum is swinging sharply out of the oversold area. The market is overall bearish, with 2010 turning the market sideways. Therefore, I would suspect topping action as the market approaches these resistance levels between 90 and 90.50.
- Just because this market is in a range, it does not mean it will travel from support to resistance at 95. It is more likely a market is reverting to the central balance of the range near 90. An aggressive target may be 92, which has been an important powerline since July 2009.
