VIX is well above 22
Comment:

Comment:
Hurdles on the way down:
149.33 , 149.22 , 148.88
Clearing all of the above will take the price to 148.75 and 148.65

A new hurdle will come up down there by 148.60 if broken price will take down to 148.40

Comment:
eye on US indices and VIX
Comment:
Last time pair visited above 150.00 it only hit 150.31 briefly and then back down to very close to 147.00 (21st of March) - It was sent lower from 150.18 (22nd of March
It is cooling off now by 150.10, you may call it lower highs has been on the making since 21st of March, so we will have the same negative look of the pair for now and watch the above 150.00 levels
Comment:
4 hrs Harmonic side @ 20:00 system time a bearish Butterfly formed D was on the high of 150.31 and is still in effect till today, the low touched till today was the 147.67, the target of 147.00 still to happen
Comment:
If no positions carried forward I would have a fresh sell from here 149.98 on the back of the failure of the 150.00 area with at least 100 pips target
Comment:
The pair is not able to break through the 150.20 level resistance for the last four hours, will be looking at this level and monitor a fall from here to make sure that positions are well safe
Comment:
SUM UP of Opened Positions:
All Short From
149.49 (1)
149.50 (1)
149.75 (4)

If market continue down it will hit 148.75

In case of delayed action we will look to liquidate positons @ 149.65 - 149.60 area

Hurdles on the way down: 149.44 , 149.20 , 149.00, 148.79 IF all clreared 148.50-148.40 area will be touched, a break below will take price to 148.00 and 147.80

Keep in mind that pair is negative for the week if 150.00-- 150.31 area hold as resistance (since 21st and 22nd March)
Comment:
Watching the failure to happen and get the pair well below 150.00 level
Comment:
If pair stay well below 149.93 selling pressures will be back on
Comment:
when Hurdle is mentioned means that price may take sometime before clearing the price or may be reverse from there
Comment:
What is really making it difficult is the stability above the 150.00, hope that it is a benign stability due to market dead time
Comment:
The pair is facing strong resistance on two levels 150.22 (4Hrs R1)
150.31 Strong Resistance level of March 21st
Comment:
JP225 opened higher but pair got not impact on either sides, will continue to monitor the price action for one hour before taking a decision
Comment:
Could not break the 21st of March high and strong resistance of 150.31
Managed to visit below 150.22 support level of 4hrs previously resistance
Pair is hovering around 150.18 while writing, the move down ward to be confirmed soon when pair move below 150.00 and stay well below 149.93
Comment:
JP225 Lost 50 points taking the pair down close to 150.00 level, waiting to inch lower well below 150.00 149.93 area
Comment:
Things to keep in mind and do not forget in the middle of the market actions>>>>GBP is weak as a single currency, JPY is strong as a single currency, Brexit Deal hope details are declared and leaves the situation uncertain. That leads to lower GBPJPY, The pair is over priced by all measures and there is no harm for one more test of 147.00 level before being defined on which direction to go
Comment:
This pair drives any one to be crazy
Comment:
will close all position in loss in case if pair breaks above 150.315
Comment:
if price contained below that level we will continue holding all shorts
Comment:
Price is still contained by 151.315 the brief inching higher did not last and pair swiftly back below 150.315, will continue to hold positions now around 150.27 while writing
Comment:
Break above today's high of 150.37 may turn things ugly, if happens all closed in loss, if price contained below then closing all opened positions by 149.65 will be a good idea
Trade closed manually:
Closed in loss
Will take rest of the week off
Comment:
WE would have been in profits if we followed the weekly outlook and be a bit patient, anyways trade has run and now we decided to take a week off, it is a short week by having Market closed on Friday
