PRICE MAKING HIGHER HIGHS AND HIGHER LOWS INDICATING THIS UPTREND IS WELL INTACT. TRENDLINE IS ACTING AS A GOOD SUPPORT SO IF WE GET A PULLBACK INTO THE TRENDLINE/189.000 THEN THAT WILL BE A GOOD LEVEL TO GO LONG. IF PRICE BREAKS RESISTANCE THEN THAT WILL ALSO BE A GOOD CHANCE TO GET LONG/ADD POSITION
Here we see a plain old bearish bat pattern on the euro yen charts.
It is likely that the market will quickly rally down to the 1.618 extension of the BC leg, i have it forecast at 1.5 hours.
I placed my stop at the point X
My entry at point B
And my limit at the 1.618 extension of the BC leg
Thanks for checking in, come back and see if it completes.

The Trade: Long CAD/JPY & Short GBP/JPY
The correlation between these two pairs is 77% over the past year. The widest the spread has got over that time is about 800 Pips. Currently these two pairs are 620 Pips apart. The GBP/JPY has enjoyed a nice run-up lately which may be stretched, bumping up against some near term resistance.
With that said we will be...
Today, we shall keep an eye on EURJPY as well. Pair has a nice bearish structure following a break down from an ending diagonal at the start of the week, so we assume that price will continue much lower after any corrective bounce. Well, we already see correction unfolding towards 135.50 area where sellers may cause next leg down.

21:03 EST - Has this pair finally broken out to the upside?
With the break of 120.250, clearing the red trendline is pushing this pair up to the 120.870 resistance level. Clearing here, while probably difficult should allow this pair to make a run at 121.850 - 122.000 levels set in Mar & Dec.
We will be buyers on any pullback while...

AUD/JPY is back to pressuring 95.950 level with the ascending triangle suggesting a break higher to extend recovery from April lows. Support now at 95.000, 94.330 and 93.300 levels. We see these levels protecting the downside and suggesting not letting any losses exceed the extreme support level.
Targets 97.100, 97.400 & 97.660 levels. We will be buyers on a...
There's a potential 8 bar downtrend about to confirm here.
If we see a swift move down from this level, we can expect the Nikkei to travel down, and fast.
Technically, you can enter shorts now, with a tight stop, but the 8 bar signal isn't confirmed yet.
Target on chart, for now an estimation, but possible.
Wait for confirmation if trading it. Might offer good...

A nice correlation trade is setting up between USD/CAD & USD/JPY. The spread in the correlation is currently 600 Pips, over the past year the max spread has been approximately 1,200 Pips.
We will be taking 1/4 our intended position size, if the spread continues to widen we will slowly add to our position. There is a...

Dear workmates !
Last week, we saw a nice correction of the strong dollar uptrend. This correction may be over for now. USD will probably trend up this week particularly against Yen.
DXY 1D Timeframe View :
We have a strong MACD divergence on 1D timeframe of DXY giving a nice long signal on US Dollar. A falling wedge is forming indicating a nice long term...
GBP/JPY is looking like it wants to break to the downside. After consolidating for several hours it's forming a wedge of lower highs and higher lows. Odds are it will break to the downside. As to not jump the gun we will be shorting this pair with a break of 181.800, looking for a move of 80 - 120 pips with a stop of 120 - 130 Pips.
*We booked a profit of 27 Pips. Even though the spread is from from closing we decided to take the profit and move back into cash. Of course if this spread narrows we will be leaving a lot on the table but we are happy with the gain from a low level risk trade.
We will be initiating 1/2 our position in a correlation trade of USD/SGD to USD/JPY. The spread is...
The aussie-yen cross tested a trend-line resistance at 93.30 yens Friday, and price action before the week's close suggests renewed selling pressure starting on Monday. 91.80 and 90.80 seem like plausible targets for short positions below 93.30. If the TL resistance breaks, however, I'd be rather bullish with an initial target of 94.50 given that prices are...
PRICE IS STRUGGLING AT AN IMPORTANT STRUCTURE WHICH HAS ALSO FORMED A SMALL DOUBLE TOP. PRICE ACTION IS SHOWING THAT SELLERS ARE PROTECTING THIS LEVEL. THIS IS LOOKING LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GO SHORT IN LINE WITH THE DOWNTREND. IF PRICE MANAGES TO BREAK THE STRUCTURE LEVEL THEN THE NEXT LEVEL TO LOOK TO SELL IS AT THE 200 SMA WHICH HAS BEEN ACTING AS A DYNAMIC...
Bear Cypher pattern completion @ 119.10. Minimum stops would need to be above 119.35's. Key word minimum. Technically speaking we've been seeing a series of NSH's so one would think that this previous OR would be a good source of resistance. But it's also trading we''re talking about so you never know.

GBPJPY got rejected at its 61.8% Fib of the 189.71-17549 decline and is looking primed to extend its declines towards the 170.82/168.02 target zone. All that stands in the way of the bears is the 175.49 February low. A confident break of this level will increase the probabilities towards it target zone. Intraday 176.79 is resistance. Bears have the upper hand as...
