EUR/USD is seen heading back up again

EUR/USD's recovery from last week’s $1.0845 low is gunning for the breached June uptrend line at $1.0963 which represents a possible upside target, together with the $1.097 mid-June high as the greenback depreciates.

​Further up beckons last week’s high at $1.1012.

​Support below Monday’s Harami daily candlestick high at $1.092 comes in along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.0887 as well as at last week’s low at $1.0845.

​EUR/JPY rallies to near 15-year high

EUR/JPY continues its swift advance on the back of a hawkish European Central Bank (ECB) and dovish Bank of Japan (BoJ) which sticks to its ultra-loose monetary policy, with the cross now trading at levels last seen in September 2008.

​The currency pair is fast approaching its February 2007 high at ¥159.65 but the general weakness in the yen continues to boost expectations of policy action from the BoJ to defend the currency, providing a potential point of volatility.

​Support below the accelerated uptrend line at ¥156.26 can be spotted at last Friday’s ¥155.06 low, a fall through which could lead to the next lower ¥154.05 20 June low being reached. Further down sits the ¥151.61 early May high.

USD/CAD continues to slide ahead of CPI release

USD/CAD's decline has taken it to levels last seen in September 2022 ahead of today’s Canadian consumer price index (CPI) which is expected to come in at 0.4% month-on-month (MoM) and 5.4% year-on-year (YoY) in May.

​The next potential support zone is made up of the June and early July 2022 highs at C$1.3084 to C$1.3079.

​Minor resistance above last week’s C$1.3139 low lies at the mid-June low at C$1.3178.
