DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 08 Jan 2019 09:30 GMT

USD/JPY - 108.92
Despite the greenback's 'flash crash' to a fresh 9-month trough at 104.79 last Thursday on active safe-haven jpy buying, subsequent strong rebound to 108.30, then 109.09 today suggests Medium Term decline from 2018 peak at 114.55 (October) has made a temporary low there and choppy trading with upside bias would be seen, however, near term loss of momentum would cap price below 109.45/50 and yield a much-needed correction.

On the downside, only below 107.52 would indicate aforesaid recovery has ended instead and risk stronger weakness towards 105.67 later this week.

On the data front, U.S. will release a slew of data starting with whole inventories, Redbook sales, JOLTS job openings, durable goods order, factory orders, new home sales n construction spending later.

DAILY MARKET OUTLOOK on Major
Update Time: 09 Jan 2019 06:30 GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1456
Although yesterday's erratic fall from 1.1485 (Asia) to 1.1422 in New York suggests further choppy trading below last Wednesday's 7-week peak at 1.1497 would continue, subsequent rebound would bring range trading.

Below 1.1422 would yield stronger retracement of last week's rise from 1.1310 towards 1.1346 whilst above 1.1468 (European top) would risk gain back towards 1.1485 but only break of 1.1497/00 res would extend Medium Term upmove towards 1.1550 'later' this week.

On the eco. data front, Germany will kick off with imports n exports, trade balance n current account, the France's consumer confidence, Italy's unemployment, then the same from the EU.

USD/JPY - 107.90
Despite the greenback's rise to 109.09 on Tuesday, subsequent retreat suggests the first leg of correction from January's 9-1/2 month trough at 104.79 has ended there and consolidation with downside bias remains for weakness towards 107.52, however, loss of momentum would keep price above 107.12 and yield rebound early next week.

Despite yesterday's initial marginal gain above previous high to an 11-week peak of 1.1570 in Asia, subsequent stronger-than-expected decline due to broad-based profit taking in euro to a low as 1.1485 in New York afternoon following mildly hawkish comments by Fed's J. Powell suggests recent upmove has made a temporary top and intra-day rebound would yield range trading.

Below 1.1485 would bring stronger retracement of recent rise from 1.1216 (November) towards 1.1440 whilst above 1.1545 may bring re-test of 1.1570 but break there needed to revive bullishness for resumption of upmove towards 1.1621 next week.
