The hourly chart maintains the slightly positive tone of previous updates, although the neutral stance prevails amid low volumes. Expect the upside to remain favored as long as price holds above 1.3140 support in the short term.

Little changed from previous updates, yen continues to advance against the dollar, with the pair testing 99.27 before bouncing some. Technically bearish, as stated earlier the lack of follow trough above 100.00 will surely weight negatively in investors decisions, and favor further downside continuation in the pair, eyeing now 98.80 key support: once below, a stronger sell off should be expected.

The AUD/USD maintains its daily gains as US session fades, stuck around the 0.9250 level for most of this last session. Technical readings show little progress, with the hourly chart maintaining a positive tone although with no upward momentum at the time being. Stocks at record highs, and gold extending gains above $1330/oz indeed gave Aussie a temporal support. The rally however, is far from confirming a bottom and a reversal, as price remains well below 0.9380, which stands as immediate midterm resistance: as long as below that level, upward movements should be seen as corrective in the middle of the bearish dominant trend.
Support levels: 0.9240 0.9190 0.9150
Resistance levels: 0.9270 0.9310 0.9360
