GBP/AUD Daily Chart

Onto the GBP/AUD, this pair has been trending up and is currently trading at 1.8724 at the time of writing this article. This pair made a high of 1.8768. The fib levels are for the 23.6% at 1.6319 and the 38.2% fib level at 1.6774 on the daily chart. At the 50.0% fib level is 1.7130 and at the 61.8% fib level at 1.7502. We do see the data out of the UK has mixed. The employment data from the UK did support the upside for Cable. We did see that it was able to bounce back rather quickly. The reports from Australia that we receive at 00:30 GMT today were good. We did see some temporary upside in the Aussie. It was not enough to be sustained.  

GBP/AUD 30 Minute Chart

Onto the 30 minute chart, we see that it has been trading in sideways manner since 17 January. I do note the pound can still continue its ascent. It is appears still bullish from the data coming out of the UK. We are still bullish on Cable at this point for the short and medium term.

USD/JPY Daily Chart

Onto the USD/JPY, this pair has been trading sideways from the high of 105.41 to the low of 103.98 and is currently trading at 104.49 at the time of writing this article. This pair made a high of 105.41 on the daily chart. The fib levels are for 23.6% at 96.48 and the 38.2% fib level at 98.15 on the daily chart. At the 50.0% fib level is 99.49 and at the 61.8% fib level at 100.96. 

USD/JPY 30 Minute Chart

Onto the 30 minute chart, it is trending upward. We do see the responsive native from the BOJ to an accommodative stance. This is in large due the monetary policies put forth by the BOJ. They have not changed their stance for more stimulus. We are neutral, I am cautious at this point because one trade in one direction at a steep angle are prone to reversals. I am cautious. I would like see a larger retracement to confirm the uptrend. The data out of US is questionable. It has been mixed. You have the BOJ doing the exact same type monetary policies leave more questions than answers. The data is mixed. I would like to better manufacturing and exports out of the US. When the imports are better than exports, we need to ask questions about the data to justify the trade possibility.

NZD/CAD Daily Chart

Onto the NZD/CAD, this pair has been trending up and is currently trading at 0.9214. This pair made a high of 0.9214. The fib levels are for the 23.6% at 0.8275 and the 38.2% fib level at 0.8457 on the daily chart. At the 50.0% fib level is 0.8601 and at the 61.8% fib level at 0.8747. We do note the upside is due to the poor data out of Canada. Also, the interest rate decision aided this pair upward ascent. Any movement to the downside does appear to be very shallow. There is the possibility this could retracement in the near future.

NZD/CAD 30 Minute Chart

Onto the 30 minute chart, we do see that it moved upward. This is primarily due to the interest rate decision from the Bank of Canada. The data from Canada has been very soft of late. We can see response from traders and the price is telling that the data of out of Canada is still weak. We are seeing that is some indication of inflation to starting to peer out.  This is why you are seeing the Kiwi go higher and interest rate hikes from the RBNZ. We are bullish from the evidence we do see for the short term. I am cautiously bullish at this point the upward movement is kind of steep. I do expect in the near future a retracement to the downside. I would like to wait and buy the pair as lower price to confirm the overall bullish trend we have seen for some time.

The markets relatively overvalued. Some of the data is spotty at best. We still need to be cautious at this point go all out with looking at things carefully and questioning whether the fundamental do match the reality of what is happening and not grow  overconfident. The best is measure the data with the charts. We do see pairs going up with the data is mixed and leaves more questions than answers. This is why I am more realistic and want more verification to prove the technical and fundamentals match the reality. We need some more proof to justify good trades over hype. Have a great day and will put another later on.
