The price actions have EUR/USD has retreated right at the 1.0590 level (printed an intraday high of 1.0600 on 17 June) but technical elements are still positive. Maintain bullish bias with 1.0450 now as the tightened key short-term pivotal support for a potential extension corrective rebound towards the next resistance at 1.0645 with a maximum limit set at 1.0685.

However, a break with an hourly close below 1.0450 invalidates the bounce scenario for a drop to retest 1.0400 and 1.0370/1.0350 (13 May 2022 swing low area).

USD/JPY has pierced above 133.70/60 post BOJ’s monetary policy decision outcome on last Friday, 17 June where it maintained its ultra-easy monetary policy but made a “special mention” on the recent steep movements seen in the USD/JPY.

Prefer to turn neutral between 135.70 and 133.60; a clearance with an hourly close above 135.70 may see a further impulsive up move sequence towards 137.20/50 next. On the flipside, a break with an hourly close below 133.60 revives the medium-term corrective pull-back scenario towards 131.25/130.95 in the first step.

Maintain bullish bias above a tightened key short-term pivotal support now at 0.6900 for a further potential extension of the corrective rebound to retest 0.7065 before the next resistance at 0.7115/7125.

However, a break with an hourly close below 0.6900 invalidates the bounce scenario for a drop back towards 0.6850/6830 (13 May 2022 swing low).
