Japanese Yen Price Chart – USD/JPY Weekly
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; USD/JPY on TradingView
The USD/JPY breakout has been impressive with the three-week rally testing uptrend resistance into the close of the month at the 145-handle. Daily RSI remains in overbought condition here and keeps the momentum in favor of the bulls for now. . . That said, the threat for a pullback remains while below the median-line with support eyed at 142.50 and the May high at 140.93- we’ll reserve this threshold as our medium-term bullish invalidation level.
A breach higher from here exposes the next major resistance levels at 146.65/94 and the 2022 high-day close at 147.68- both levels of interest for possible exhaustion / price inflection IF reached. I’ll publish an updated Japanese Yen Technical Forecast once we get further clarity on the longer-term USD/JPY trade levels.
Gold Price Chart – XAU/USD Daily
Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView
Gold rebounded off a key support zone we’ve been tracking for weeks now at 1903/1910- a region defined by the 38.2% retracement of the broader September rally, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the yearly range. Note that both the November up-slope and the median-line of the May downtrend converge on this zone into the start of the month / quarter. This level remains critical into the July open.
Initial resistance now stands back at 1937/43 with bearish invalidation lowered to 1965. A break below this key threshold would threaten another bout of accelerated losses towards initial support objectives at the November 2021 high near 1877 and the 52-week moving average (currently ~1859). Review my latest Gold Price Forecast for a closer look at the longer-term XAU/USD technical trade levels.
