EUR/USD - 1.1818.. The single currency continues to move narrowly in subdued Asian morning after trading sideways in lack lustre Wednesday's session.

As retreat from 1.1845 to 1.1800 on Tue suggests early corrective bounce from Monday's 2-week trough at 1.1771 has possibly ended, a daily close below 1.1800 would add credence to this view and head to 1.1757, loss of downward momentum would keep price above 1.1735.
Only above 1.1845/51 res area dampens bearish outlook n shifts risk to upside for gain to 1.1884/86, break would yield re-test of September's 1.1908 peak later.
Offers are tipped at 1.1830/40 with stops above 1.1850 while bids are noted at 1.1805-00 with stops below there, more stops are touted below 1.1770.

Update Time: 20 Sept 2021 05:30GMT

USD/JPY - 109.88.. Despite ticking higher to 110.03 shortly after Asian open (Tokyo market is closed for Respect for the Aged Day holiday), the pair inched lower due to intra-day safe-haven yen buying on weakness in Asian stocks (Dow futures currently down nearly 1% at 34266), suggesting range trading below Fri's 110.07 high would continue ahead of European open.

As the rally from last Wednesday's 4-week trough at 109.12 signals dlr's pullback from September's 110.44 peak has ended, up side bias remains for gain to 110.15, then re-test of said res later today due to broad-based usd's strength.
Order board is fairly thin with bids noted at 109.85-80 with stops below there while offers are tipped at 110.05/10 with stops above 110.20.

EUR/USD -1.1731.. Although euro caught a light bis in Asian morning at 1.1724 n briefly climbed above New York high of 1.1736 due to intra-day buying in eur/jpy cross to 1.1739, price quickly eased on lack of follow-through buying, suggesting range trading is in store ahead of European open.

As Monday's weakness to a near 4-week trough of 1.1701 (Europe) suggests recent correction from August's 9-1/2 month bottom at 1.1664 has ended, consolidation with downside bias remains for decline to 1.1688/93 but reckon 1.1664 may hold on 1st testing.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

Update Time: 23 Sept 2021 05:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1698.. Euro is licking wounds after intra-day wild swings in hectic post-FOMC trading ended with price tumbling from 1.1755 to a 4-week trough of 1.1685, then 1.1684 shortly after Asian open Thursday.

Euro's resumption of recent decline from September's 1.1908 peak to 1.1685 after hawkish comments by Fed's J. Powell suggests re-test of August's 9-1/2 month bottom at 1.1664 is on the cards, break there would pave the way from further weakness towards next daily objective at 1.1603 tomorrow or early next week. Therefore, selling euro on recovery is the way to go.

The euro area area will release a slew of eco. data n today is PMI day, please refer to our EI page for details n pay attention to German n EU's markit mfg n services PMIs at 07:03GMT n 08:00GMT respectively, a lower-than-expected reading would trigger more euro bashing.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 24 Sept 2021 05:30GMT

USD/JPY - 110.34.. The pair stands tall in lively Tokyo trading as Thursday's impressive rally in US yields (benchmark 10-year jumped to a 2-month high of 1.437%, circa 1.4267%) led to broad-based yen selling, dlr climbed from 109.77 (Europe) to a 2-week high of 110.34, then to 110.41 shortly after Tokyo open n is within striking distance from its September's top at 110.44, a break there would encourage for further headway towards next chart obj. at 110.79 (August peak) later.

In view of above analysis, buying dlr (or selling the yen) is the way to go.
Bids have been raised to 110.30-20 area with stops below 110.00 while some offers (profit taking) are tipped at 110.40/45 with stop above 110.50.

EUR/USD - 1.1688.. Trading the euro on Tuesday was tricky as despite usd's broad-based strength,s price was supported by active cross-buying in eur especially vs yen n gbp.
Euro fell from 1.1703 (Europe) to 1.1672 in New York n briefly bounced to 1.1702 after weak U.S. consumer confidence n later hit a 5-week low of 1.1668.

Intra-day recovery in Asia suggests price is in no hurry to challenge 2021 trough at 1.1664 (Aug) n further sideways swings may continue in European morning before prospect of resumption of Medium Term downtrend to projected target at 1.1635/40, loss of momentum should keep euro above 1.1603 today.
Offers are tipped at 1.1695/05 with stops reported above 1.1710 while bids are noted at 1.1670-65 with stops touted below 1.1660.

The euro area countries will release a slew of eco. data, pls refer to our EI page for details n pay attention to EU's bus. climate, eco. sentiment n services sentiment as well as consumer confidence, of these readings are weaker than street forecasts, then this may the the catalyst for euro to firmly penetrate said 1.1664 sup.

As yesterday's rally above previous 2021 high of 111.65 (now sup) to 112.04 confirms recent uptrend has once again resumed, price is en route to next chart obj. at 112.22, however, loss of momentum would cap price below projected res at 112.66.

USD/JPY - 110.99.. Dlr remains on the back foot in tantrum with with U.S. yields in early Asian trading on Monday due to safe-haven yen buying. Price fell initially below Friday's 110.91 low (New York) to 110.88 in New Zealand on cross-buying in yen, however, intra-day broad-based usd's rebound due to risk-off trade following media report China's embattled Evergrande has suspended its shares trading in H.K. lifted price to 111.05, suggesting range trading is in store.

As intra-day weakness suggests corrective rise from Thursday's 14-month bottom at 1.1563 has possibly ended yesterday at 1.1640, trading euro from short side is favoured.

However, as the decline from 1.1640 (Monday high) to 1.1581 suggests early correction from last Thursday's fresh 14-month bottom at 1.1563 has ended, downside bias remains for re-test of 1.1563 after consolidation, then later towards projected downside target at 1.1536.

Update Time: 07 Oct 2021 05:30GMT

EUR/USD - 1.1555.. The single currency gains respite in relatively subdued Asian morning after yesterday's selloff which started in Australia from 1.1603 to a fresh 14-month trough of 1.1530 near European midday due to active safe-haven usd buying on weakness in Asian and European stocks as well as falling U.S. yields, however, price ratcheted higher in New York to 1.1559 on short covering in tandem with U.S. stocks n then gained marginally to 1.1561 in Asia.

As Wednesday's break of previous 2021 low at 1.1563 (September, now res) confirms Medium Term downtrend from January's peak at 1.2349 has once again resumed, price is en route to psychological 1.1500 handle, then 1.1473 after consolidation but reckon 1.1450 would hold ahead of release of Friday's U.S. jobs report.
Offers are tipped at 1.1560/65 with some stops touted above 1.1580 while some bids are seen at 1.1535-30 with stops below there. There is also market chatter of option defence at 1.1500, so euro may not break this level before New York option expiry at 14:00GMT (New York cut).

The euro area countries will release a slew of eco. data and we also have a number of ECB members scheduled to speak in European session, please refer to our EI page for details. Also pay attention to release of ECB minutes at 11:30GMT.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
Update Time: 08 Oct 2021 05:30GMT

USD/JPY - 111.77.. Dlr remains on the front foot in early Tokyo trading on Friday following yesterday's rebound from 111.24 (Europe) to 111.65 in New York as improved risk sentiment due to expectation of U.S. Senate would approve a temp. lift to U.S. debt ceiling pushed up U.S. yields (benchmark 10-year hit fresh 3-1/2 month high of 1.580%, circa 1.588%) n U.S. stocks.

As intra-day brief weak of Wednesday's 111.78 high on renewed cross-selling in yen suggests pullback from September's 19-month peak at 112.07 has ended, re-test of this level is envisaged, break there would encourage for gain to 112.22 (Nov 2020 high), then towards 112.66 next week.
Bids have been raised to 111.70-60 and more below with some stops below 111.50 while offers are tipped at 112.00/10 with stops above there.

T.G.I.F., market is keenly awaiting release of key U.S. September jobs report after last month's surprise weak reading. Street forecast for non-farm payroll is for an increase of 500k vs prev. number of 235K.
If actual comes in as per market forecast or a slight upside beat, then the greenback would move higher broadly while the flip side would occur if NFP is weaker than expectation, good luck.

As said fall from 1.1587 suggests correction from last Wed's fresh 14-month trough at 1.1530 has ended, re-test of said 2021 bottom is envisaged, however, as recent downtrend is losing downward momentum, steep fall below psychological 1.1500 handle is unlikely.

Although euro's retreat from 1.1624 suggests corrective rise from Tuesday's fresh 14-month bottom at 1.1525 has possibly made a top, a firm break below 1.1585 would add credence to this view n head back to 1.1550, then re-test of 1.1525 early next week.

Dollar is in holding pattern after pullback from Friday's 3-year peak at 114.46 to 114.00 in New York morning due to a bout of broad-based yen buying, however, price quickly rebounded n later edged higher to 114.36 in Australia today but then retreated to 114.02 in Tokyo morning as intra-day weakness in Asian stocks dampened risk sentiment.

Expect range trading to continue n as long as 113.80 (previous res, now sup) holds, recent upmove would head towards 114.74, however, loss of upward momentum should cap price below psychological 115.00 handle.

Although intra-day break of 1.1624 confirms euro's corrective rise from Oct's fresh 14-month trough at 1.1525 has once again resumed, loss of momentum is likely to prevent strong gain n reckon 1.1664 (Aug low, now res) would cap upside and yield decline later today.
