Daily Report: Dollar Resumes Rebound, Yen Jumps on Risk Aversion

A couple of factors triggered steep fall in Asian stocks today and send dollar and yen sharply higher. Firstly, markets are worried on the outlook of global recovery as Fed sounded dovish in its statement overnight and announced a 'modest' version of quantitative easing extension. Even though, US stocks managed to rebound after the release, they still ended in red. Secondly, Japanese Nikkei dropped sharply, by -2.7% on weakness in USD/JPY, which dragged down most yen crosses.

AUD/USD Daily Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.9072; (P) 0.9119; (R1) 0.9179; More

AUD/USD's fall fro 0.9220 resumed after strong but brief recovery and reaches as low as 0.9021 today so far. A noted before, short term top is in place at 0.9220 on bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD. Intraday bias remains on the downside for 0.8904 support and break there will confirm this bearish case and target outer trend line support (now at 0.8615). On the upside, though, above 0.9220 will indicate that recent rise from 0.8066 is still in progress for 0.9380/9404 resistance zone. But we'd expect upside to be limited there to bring another fall to continue the medium term consolidation.

Fed Sparks Unconventional Measures By Reinvesting MBS Proceeds

The Fed announced to reinvest principal payments from agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in longer-dated Treasuries as the 'pace of economic recovery is likely to be more modest in the near-term than had been anticipated'. This is the first step for the central bank to adopt unconventional monetary policies in more than a year and signaled policymakers' commitment to keep interest rates low and bolster the economy.

Candlesticks and Ichimoku Intraday Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Buy at 1.0490

Despite yesterday's sharp fall from 1.0618 to 1.0461, the subsequent rebound from there suggest low has been formed and consolidation with upside bias is seen, however, break of said resistance is needed to extend the rise from 1.0332 low for further gain to 1.0640-41 (previous resistance and 61.8% projection) but reckon 1.0690/00 would hold from here, bring retreat later.

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5860

Despite yesterday's strong rebound from 1.5710 to 1.5910, the subsequent euro-led decline from there signals the rebound from 1.5710 is over and consolidation with downside bias is seen but break of said support at 1.5710 is needed to extend the decline from 1.5999 top towards 1.5663/65 (previous resistance and 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.5125 to 1.5999) but reckon downside would be limited to 1.5600/10.
