Key resistance of USD/JPY is seen at 112.70. The pair is rebounding and is challenging the declining 20-period moving average.

GOLD price has broken to new lows yesterday but is very close to making an important bottom reversal if it has not already bottomed. Gold price should bounce at least towards $1,260-70.

Wave summary: The corrective low for wave [iv] was seen at 1.5645 and wave [v] higher is now unfolding. This rally should be able to rally towards minimum 1.6172 and ideally, will extend higher towards 1.6500 and 1.6655 to complete wave iii. If, however, EUR/NZD fails to clear resistance at 1.6172 it will indicate that […]
