Into today’s NY cut, prioritize AUD/USD 0.6800 and NZD/USD 0.5550, which are close to spot. Watch whether price continues to move around these levels after approaching them or whether buying persists following a break above.
If USD/JPY pulls back today, watch 159.25, followed by 159.00. On Monday, focus on 160.00. If the pair breaks above and holds, monitor 160.50. If it is pushed back into the 159s and continues lower, watch the reaction at 159.00.
For EUR/USD, 1.1100, listed for both days, is the key level on a rebound. If the pair breaks above and holds, watch Monday’s 1.1125. If the rebound fades and the pair turns lower, monitor today’s 1.1000 level.
