EUR/JPY head and shoulders formed Pink line is a huge area of monthly resistance if you look to go to the monthly chart this is self explanatory.
tested 4 times with a false break out on one (the head), remember this is an area of support own the monthly so i tend to take into consideration 20-30pips area to play with for safety.
Head and shoulder formation formed as shown with the three boxes.
EMA 5 and 20 looking to cross so will enter only upon this cross along with a break of the 38 fib.
Fib pullback to 61.8 fib with confluence of price action engulfing candle for reverse pattern.
Stop loss positioned at 78 fib with a first target of 121.679 (previous turning point) second target 120.990 (second turn point support and -27 fib extension.
Final target of 120.136 (full -61.8 fib exntaesion and previous support turning point)
Looking at a 1:3 risk reward here for full extension and will look to move stop loss to break even upon second target execution
Swing-short
Short USD/JPYThe setup:
1) downtrend on the daily.
2) a pullback against this trend has occurred the past week and a half.
3) A reversal candle printed at resistance.
4) as a bonus, but not really necessary for the setup, stochastics are in overbought level and started curling downward.
The trade: Short with a stop at 104.20 (just above yesterday's high). R = ~125 pips.
EUR/JPY POTENTIAL FOR BEARISH SWINGPretty self explanatory on the chart. My Daily and Weekly bias has now turned Bearish. Currently sitting at a Fib retracement point near resistance and IF we get the right price action i will be looking for shorts to make new swing low.
Target 1 = 133.50
Target 2 = 130.50
Target 3 = 128.10
Please remember this setup is only in play if we get the correct price action as confirmation

The Tech Stock Trade: Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO)Yesterday, Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) reported earnings. Cisco is one of those old tech stocks, like Yahoo (NASDAQ:YAHOO), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and IBM (NYSE:IBM). One thing they all have in common is the possibility of going lower in the coming days. Also important to note is that the major indices, specifically the S&P500 (NYSEARCAPY), saw some selling after making a new high.
Now, CSCO (NASDAQ:CSCO) has gapped higher and the daily chart is showing a topping-tail on volume. This action on the daily chart is telling us that institutions are selling the stock.
As a technical trader I will play this on the short side after a retrace into the tail to minimize my risk .
