EURJPY Consolidating, With Gap to the Short Side

Again, sorry for the lack of posts, but I'm seeing something setting up that has caught my eye.

The EURJPY is consolidating just above 127.00, with the EURUSD finding support at 1.3585 and the USDJPY at 93.50.


In the past, I've written about using the EURUSD and the USDJPY as indicators for the EURJPY. If the indicators break below their support levels, and the EURJPY breaks below the major pshych level at 127.00, we could see the EURJPY make a break down and try to close that gap down to 125.70. That would be a nice 100+ pip move. This next hour or two, going into the NY open is key.

RE: USDJPY Trading in Tight Range

The GBPJPY broke it's range for a 50+ pip move down, and the EURJPY made a 40 pip move down after it broke below 122.00. Yes, I know these pairs have potential to move more, but I wasn't expecting a big move. That's why I said I'd be happy for a quick 40-50 pip move, which would test yesterday's lows. Remember not to get greedy. A 40% profit margin on a trade lasting no more than an hour, isn't a bad day's work.

You've got to grab those pips when you can!



Once the USDJPY broke below 90.15, it's move down made the EURJPY and the GBPJPY move 40 and 50 pips, for it smaller move of 19 pips. I liked how the USDJPY was stacking up along the 90.15 support, showing pressure on the sell side.


I hope some of you could see how I recognized that set up, and were able to grab a few pips.

USDJPY Trading in Tight Range

Looking of the Yen crosses to make a break out of the tight range they've been trading in for the past few hours. Watch for range breaks on EURJPY and the GBPJPY, particularly to the downside. Remember to watch the USDJPY as an indicator. I'd be happy to grab 40-50 pips on a quick move.

USDJPY

USDJPY is moving sideways, in about a 25 pip range. Any moves on the other JPY crosses are all being contained by this. Need the USDJPY to break out of the range to get any decent moves on the other JPY crosses.

GBPJPY going into London

I'm seeing heavy support on the GBPJPY, just above the 153. I think if there is a break below 153, it will carry down to another heavy support level at 152.40. So there would be a possibility to take 50 pips. Next support levels below that are 152 and 1.5138. Cable has already made a move down. Need it to continue into London for move down on GBPJPY to happen. USDJPY will need to also break down.

If there is a move up, watch for a break above the top of the short term range at 153.75. Watch reactions to the orange support lines. Key will be a move above 154.40.
