Yen Crosses Remain Mixed

Yen Crosses Remain Mixed

CAD/JPY - Japanese Yen longs continued to keep the cross in a trading range as CAD/JPY continued to bounce above the psychologically important 100.00 handle, a level defended by the 23.6 Fib of the 83.19-105.09 CAD rally. As Loonie longs resume their advance, a move above the 102.00 figure, a level defended by the combination of the 20-day and 50-day SMA's, will most likely see the cross target the yen offers around 103.42, a level marked by the March 6 daily high. A further move on the part of the Canadian dollar longs will most likely see the cross extend its rally above the psychologically important 105.00 handle and target yen offers around 105.57, a level established by the 2005 High, breaking of which will most likely see CAD/JPY extend its advance toward 108.14, a level created by the 50.0 Fib Extension of the May-Dec CAD rally. However in case Japanese yen bulls manage to push the cross lower, a move below the psychologically important 100.00 handle will most likely see the cross head lower and target Loonie bids around 97.64, a level marked by the January 19 daily high and is further reinforced by the 200-day SMA. Indicators are favoring Japanese yen longs with both negative momentum indicator and MACD below the zero line, while neutral oscillators giving either side a room to maneuver.

CHF/JPY - Japanese yen bulls managed to push the cross below the psychologically important 90.00 handle, a level defended by the 38.2 Fib of the 84.83-93.46 CHF rally, but saw their momentum wane as cross stalled above 89.13, a level marked by the 50.0 Fib of the 84.83-93.46 CHF rally and is reinforced by the 200-day SMA. A reversal will most likely see the CHF/JPY aim for the Japanese Yen offers around 90.91, a level marked by the February 21 daily high and with sustained momentum to the upside most likely seeing the cross head higher and aim for 91.42, a level created by the 23.6 Fib of the 84.83-93.46 CHF rally. A further collapse of the Japanese Yen offers will most likely see the CHF/JPY target the offers around 92.24, a level established by the February 2 daily high. However in case yen bulls manage to push the cross lower, a further move to the downside will most likely see CHF/JPY head lower and target Swissie bids around 87.69, a level established by the February 27 daily low. . Indicators are favoring Japanese yen longs with both negative momentum indicator and MACD below the zero line, while neutral oscillators giving either side a room to maneuver.

NZD/JPY - New Zealand dollar bulls continued trend lower as NZD/JPY approached the bids around the psychologically important 70.00 handle a level defended by the 50.0 Fib of the 53.68-87.09 NZD rally. A sustained momentum on the part of the Japanese yen longs will most likely see the cross head below 70.00 and target Kiwi's bids around 67.70, a level created by the June 24, 2004 daily low. A further break to the downside will most likely see the cross target Kiwi bids around 66.44, a level marked by the 61.8 Fib of the 53.68-87.09 NZD rally. However in case New Zealand dollar bulls manage to push the pair above 72.00 figure, a further move to the upside will most likely see the cross test yen offers around 72.40, a level marked by the March 20 daily low.  Indicators are favoring Japanese yen longs with both negative momentum indicator and MACD treading below the zero line, with ADX above 25, at 50.82, signaling an existence of a trend, not a direction of one, while both oversold oscillators add to a trending outlook.
