The strongest to the weakest of the major currencies

The JPY is the strongest and the USD is the weakest at the US session begins. The USD has been hit after gains yesterday did not get follow-through price action:

  • The EURUSD Fell below its 200-day MA intraday yesterday (that MA is at 1.0844), but bounced near a swing target between 1.0803 and 1.0825, moved back above the 200-day MA and sellers turned to buyers. The price moved above the 200-hour MA at 1.0896, but the price has recently moved back below that MA and trades between the 100-hour MA below at 1.0870 and the 200-hour MA at 1.0896.
  • The USDJPY yesterday extended above a swing area up to 148.59 but fell short of the high price from last week at 148.802. Today, the process reversed lower and in the process moved back below is 100-day moving average at 147.566, and tests its rising 200-hour moving average at 147.25. The price is not traded materially below that moving average since January 2.
  • The GBPUSD continues its up-and-down trading fell below its 200 and 100-hour moving averages, and also below the 50% midpoint of the move up from the December low at 1.26622. However, the price snapped back higher in late US trading yesterday. In the Asian session, the price moved back above its near-converged 100 and 200-hour moving averages around 1.2700 and tilted the bias back in the upper direction. the price extended to a level at 1.2772, and backed off. The price is back down at 1.2740 currently.

Meanwhile, the improved risk appetite was partly due to an announcement from China’s People’s Bank of China (PBOC). The PBOC declared a substantial 50 basis points (bps) reduction in the Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR), set to commence on February 5th. Although this measure is not as extensive as the previously promised $268 billion stock market support, it still represents a significant move. For context, the PBOC only reduced the RRR twice in the previous year, with each reduction being 25 bps. These reductions occurred once in March and then again in September. Asian Pacific shares were supported.
