Both were way off expectations of 650k and 625k respectively. NAHB housing market index also dropped sharply by -5 pts to 17 in June as released yesterday.

Featured Technical Report

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 91.12; (P) 91.41; (R1) 91.73; More.

USD/JPY dips mildly today but is still staying in tight range and intraday bias remains neutral. As noted before, price actions from 88.25 are treated as consolidation to fall for 94.97 only. Below 90.83 minor support will argue that such consolidation has possibly completed and will bring decline to 88.25 support for confirmation. On the upside, in case of another rise, we'd continue to expect strong resistance below 93.62 to conclude the rebound from 88.97 and bring another fall.

SNB to Keep Rates Unchanged. Focus on the Stance to Intervene CHF

The SNB will likely keep the 3-month LIBOR target at 0.25% at the meeting on Thursday. However, the market will focus on the central bank's stance on FX intervention as the euro has tumbled due to sovereign crisis in the Eurozone. The SNB may also revise up its forecasts for growth and inflation given robustness in economic data in recent months. Indeed, whether policymakers will actively implement intervention depends on the inflationary outlook.

Candlesticks and Ichimoku Intraday Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.2400

Although the intra-day retreat from 1.2354 just tested the Kijun-Sen as suggested in our previous update, below the Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.2225) is needed to signal temporary top has been formed and bring correction to 1.2168-72 (previous support and the current level of the Ichimoku cloud bottom), otherwise, one more rise to 1.2390/00 cannot be ruled out.

Trade Idea Update: USD/CHF – Sell at 1.1410

Dollar's rebound after intra-day brief fall to 1.1278 suggests consolidation would be seen with mild upside bias for retracement to the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.1373), however, renewed selling interest should emerge below the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.1427) and the flat ground Ichimoku cloud top (now at 1.449) should hold, bring another decline later.
