XAUUSD Weekly Technical Outlook
XAUUSD market operation on the weekly time frame is bearish. It has broken down the 1683.15/1652.14 major horizontal support zone (green) which had been in place since April 2020. It is presently approaching the next significant horizontal support at the 1634.20/1614.60 zone (blue).
XAUUSD price action on the daily time frame is bearish. On Friday, it broke below the 1683.15/1652.14 major horizontal support zone (green) which had been in place since April 2020. However, it is about 110 pips to the next significant horizontal support at the 1634.20/1614.60 zone (blue). This may mean either a brief bearish surge towards the zone before a pullback or a bullish retest of the 1683.15/1652.14 previous horizontal support zone (green), which may flip it as resistance followed by a southward rotation. At any rate, what price action does by Monday close would interest me as the XAUUSD is the pair I trade mainly on an intra-day basis, but I don’t trade on Monday as a matter of principle.
XAUUSD price action on the H4 time frame is bearish, but the bearish momentum is declining. Although we me see a bullish pullback, technicals still favour bears more than bulls.
I may be wrong. Trade safe and prosper.

USDJPY Weekly Technical Outlook
The relatively long doji-like candlestick printed by USDJPY market operation on the weekly time frame last week indicates a decline of bullish directional momentum and an increase in bearish pressure. However, the candlestick printed last week issued another multi-year high before a bearish pushback.
Although USDJPY price action on the daily time frame is in a bullish technical structure, presently it is sideways after a bearish pullback from the multi-year high it printed at the 145.900 area on Thursday. Technicals still favour bulls than bears, but we may have a bearish dip before further bullish drive.

It broke down the 1.00810/0.99070 multi-year horizontal support zone (purple) seen on the weekly time frame and surged towards the next major horizontal support around the 0.96200 area (green).

Two weeks ago, there was a bullish drive into the 144.620/147.680 horizontal resistance zone (purple) that has been in place since August 1998, but it was pushed back by bearish resistance and closed far below the zone. Although the bullish candlestick printed last week closed just at the lower boundary of the zone, it couldn’t penetrate the previous week’s high. Apparently, as market operation tackles the zone, there is increased bearish pressure.
USDJPY price action on the daily time frame is consolidating as it tackles the 144.620/147.680 horizontal resistance zone (purple) that has been in place since August 1998.
