  • USD/JPY fell to its lowest level more than 7-months this past week before recovering the bulk of the week’s losses

  • The increase in volume on the spike lower and recover warns that capitulation low of some kind was traced out

  • Unlike in the euro, USD/JPY did not record an OBV divergence against its most recent low which is a potential negative

  • However, a close above 123.00 on above average volume is needed to confirm a more important shift higher in the exchange rate

  • AUD/USD traded down to its lowest level in over six years this past week

  • A trio of above average volume spikes on recen wide range days suggests the exchange rate is nearing an exhaustion point

  • However, a strongly trending daily OBV line suggests the downtrend remains firmly entrenched

  • A daily close over .7300 on above average volume is needed to turn the outlook more positive
