EUR-JPY Pullback to a crucial area... After the bullish run of EJ last week it stopped at a crucial zone, my trend bias is still undecided, however, i am fairly confident that we will see EJ retrace to the zone in green (lower green box) before making its mind up whether its going to continue its break to the upside or crumble down in the downwards channel. The breakout last week could be a common case of market makers locking in long positions before they short against them. With that being said i would tread very carefully around the eurozone at the moment. The volatility in gold last week did not help yen pairs due to the correlation within yen and gold. I believe there is a good amount of pips to be made down to the green zone, if you are trading it i would make sure that you keep you stops tight and lock the profit in!
Re-test Support on EURJPY ShortEntry - 127.64
Target - 126.9 - 74 pips
Stop Loss - 128.1 - 46 pips
The risk to reward on this one is a bit better than recent trades. I'm not currently in the trade, but I do have an entry short off of the Ichimoku conversion line (thin green line) and area of previous support (light blue line at 127.695) on the four hour chart. I'm hoping the 30EMA sinks at or below my stop loss by the time the entry level is hit. Ideally, the 200MA (darker blue line) would be above the Ich Cloud for me to consider a valid trend continuation, but I'm willing to put on a medium sized position for the chance of hitting a small double bottom. EURJPY is a rangy pair and it is apt to make sharp moves, so I'm not completely confident in this one, but it looks like a fair opportunity.
I'll update the trade as needed. Thank you for looking!
