✍️ UPDATE FROM PROFESSOR'S DESK

44% of the time AUDUSD is negatively correlated to USDJPY
73% of the time EURUSD is negatively correlated to USDJPY

However, that's NOT what happened when today's EUR News dropped. There are a few possible explanations for why EURUSD and AUDUSD did not break out to the upside after USDJPY dropped.

👎 The EUR news was not as positive as expected. Today's EUR news was not as positive as some traders had hoped. The negative EUR News caused some investors to sell EUR and buy USD, which put downward pressure on EURUSD and AUDUSD.

📈 The market was overbought. The EURUSD and AUDUSD markets have been rising sharply in recent weeks. The latest uptrend momentum made these pairs overbought, leading to many profit-takings today.

📈📉 The negative correlation between USDJPY and EURUSD/AUDUSD is NOT ALWAYS PERFECT. Although the numbers are low enough to ignore, the fact still remains that 56% of the time AUDUSD is positively correlated to USDJPY and 27% of time EURUSD becomes positively correlated. These are the times when the correlation breaks down, and this could have been one of those times.

👨‍💻 Also, the market makers may have been trying to protect themselves from losses. This is accomplished by selling EURUSD and AUDUSD when USDJPY dropped — possibly waiting for more confirmation of the EUR news before breaking out to the upside.

😏 It is impossible to say what happened, but I'm leaning on Market Makers.
