However, this happened as soon as price action in the market tested the uppermost limit of the Bollinger Bands.

However, the Bollinger Bands indicator itself maintains an upside bearing, which indicates the overall trend. Meanwhile, the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) has a more near-term view of the market, with its lines now falling towards the 80 mark of the indicator. Considering the quietness of the euro, price action in this market may fall further towards the 1.0706 mark. However, traders may want to monitor fundamentals from the US concerning this.

AUDUSD: Bearish

The bullish characteristics of the USD have caused the AUDUSD to retreat below a previously surpassed resistance price level of 0.6600. Nevertheless, this FX pair still trades above the middle limit of the Bollinger indicator. So, from a broader perspective of this market, this may still be regarded as a moderate bearish correction. However, one cannot rule out the possibility of the correction becoming more significant.

The SRSI indicator lines are now trending downward, with the leading line of the indicator now dipping below the 80 mark of the indicator. Therefore, should the Australian dollar continue to stay weak against the dollar, a more downward correction may be seen towards the 0.6520 mark.

EURJPY: Bullish

In the EURJPY daily market, there unfolded a notable downturn, a stark descent from its previous lofty perch beyond the 169.00 threshold. Although it broke through the 166.00 support line, the market found its footing soon after, stabilizing in the wake of the tumultuous plunge.

As of late, trading sessions have unfolded with a bullish trajectory, propelling the market past the pivotal midpoint of the Bollinger Bands indicator. Adding to the bullish sentiment, the Stochastic Relative Strength Index (SRSI) has surged upward, emerging from oversold territory. With these indicators in mind, traders are now turning their gaze toward the coveted 167.50 mark, viewing it as a promising target for potential gains.

USDJPY: Bullish

The USDJPY is retracing its steps towards what seems like an all-time high above the 158.00 price level. While the market is still at a significant distance from re-achieving that feat, it seems to be securing the needed momentum to revisit that price mark.

At the same time, we can see that the SRSI indicator lines continue to rise back upwards towards the overbought region. Consequently, this shows that the market may advance further, having crossed the middle limit of the Bollinger Bands indicator. At this point, it is fair to target a retracement of the 156.00 price level pending contrary market-influencing fundamentals.
