  • The pair finds stiff resistance at 21-EMA at 0.9673, breakout at 21-EMA could see further upside.
     
  • Technical studies are turning slightly bullish. Stochs have shown a rollover from oversold levels.
     
  • We also evidence bullish divergence on RSI and Stochs which adds to the bullish bias.

  • On the downside, we see major trendline support at 0.9550, break below will see resumption of weakness.
Support levels - 0.9624 (5-DMA), 0.96, 0.9550 (trendline)

USD/ZAR rejects key resistance at 12.62 Mark, bias remains slightly bearish




  • USD/ZAR is currently trading around 12.52 levels.
  • It made intraday high at 12.62 and low at 12.51 levels.
     
  • Intraday bias remains slightly bearish till the time pair holds key resistance at 12.62 mark.
     
  • A daily close above 12.62 will take the parity higher towards key resistances around 12.78, 12.86, 12.96 and 13.15 marks respectively.
     
  • Alternatively, a daily close below 12.42 will drag the parity down towards key supports at 12.20, 12.02, 11.94, 11.84, 11.70, 11.62 and 11.53 levels respectively.
     
  • Important to note here that 20D, 30D and 55D EMA heads up and confirms the bullish trend in a daily chart. Current downside movement is short term trend correction only.
We prefer to take short position on USD/ZAR  around 12.55, stop loss at 12.62 and target of 12.42/12.20.

GBP/JPY trade idea




  • GBP/JPY is continuing its upward momentum and jumped almost 80 pips from Wednesday close. The pair has closed slightly above 200- day MA and this confirms minor trend reversal. It has jumped till  jumped till 150 at the time of writing The yen was trading weak against all majors today on account of easing geo political tensions . USD/JPY trades higher and hits high of 111. GBP/JPY has taken support near trend line and any minor weakness only below 147.05. It is currently trading around 149.72.
     
  • The pair is facing strong resistance at 150 and any convincing break above 150 will take the pair to next level till 150.64 (100- day MA)/151/152.80.
     
  • On the lower side, near term major support is around 149 and any decline below will drag the pair to next level till 148/147.
It is good to buy on dips around 149.50-60 with SL around 149 for the TP of 150.64/151.
