USD/JPY
The Yen idled at 107.15 per dollar amid investors waiting for the Bank of Japan policy meeting on Tuesday.
AUD/USD

USD/ZAR
The South African rand tumbled to 17.28 against the greenback on Friday's reports from credit ratings agency Fitch that it expected South Africa’s economy to shrink 5.5% this year, as the coronavirus lockdown batters an economy already in recession.

- From an Elliott Wave standpoint, USDCHF could potentially unfold into compelling impulsive Wave C of the zigzag correction of Wave (2) to a narrowing region 0.9550 (50% retracement of Wave (1)) to 0.9395 (100% projection of Wave A through B) in the near term trend, from the downside bias from April 6th high of 0.9797.
- Price could immediately start to shoot back up into Wave (3) on a longer perspective.
- Piercing above the resistance 0.9905 would endorse the structure.
- Alternatively, broader bearish invalidation of Elliott Wave Structure rest at 0.9191 of March 9th low while Relative Strength Index signals a bullish recoil higher for the pair.
