Until a week ago, EUR/USD provided great trading opportunities at European Open. A/ On the leg down, every other day, at around 10:00 CET, a simple sell order no-questions-asked would have made consistent money. The touches to the 21-EMA: confirmation. Around the .23 Fibo -> system failed: more than 7 consecutive moves are rare + Support Level + USD weakness...
Here's two currency pairs, you can't get wrong; USD/JPY: bc of falling JPY : 8% in 2 months EUR/CHF: bc of rising CHF: 4% in 2 months When you see two trending instruments, try the cross of the counter currencies: CHF/JPY: 11% in 2 months. Or you can break your teeth on EUR/USD instead - which is oscillating inside a 4% range. Also watch EUR/JPY -> something...
In candlestick analysis size matters. In traditional Japanese Chart Analysis, the long candle is the only one that means continuation, the rest is indecision. Increasing candle sizes also indicate a wave gaining or losing strength. Size also matters when setting a Profit Target which is realistic in a given Time Frame. This takes me to today’s subject of...
I am investigating the extent to which USD/CNY is an indicator of future USD moves across the Majors. First, notice on the chart how well Price-Action and Elliot Wave concepts apply to USD/CNY. The levels of polarity chance sit right on the Fionacci retracements. The Breakout Aug 2022, in (A), follows the description of a breakout (Pre-Breakout PA) to...
Spot the 4 patterns. With Dollar Index (DXY) plotted below for comparison. It's a shame the USD/CNY can't serve as a leading indicator for USD-pairs, but its analysis shows you WHEN to enter the USD-market, long or short, and catch the big waves. The most notable are the periods of sideways trading. Looking at USD/CNY, those are really calm and composed, while...
230207 - USD/JPY – Update and Ongoing Analysis RECAP <*> Commentary in the 2 previous posts still valid. <*> Previously, I had written that I would sell at 130, SL: 131.00, TP: 128. RR: 2. This turned into a successful trade for me, although I had to close the position manually, as the 128.00 was never triggered, #DXY was rising sharply, which made me believe...
Correction. I didn't realise I published the wrong view of the chart. And now also learned that Tradingview only allows for 15minutes to correct mistakes. Recap: USD-index #DXY is short long term. JPY is long term. USD/JPY is short long term. Therefore: The breakout will be in the direction of precious impulsive moves down. Because USD is short and JPY...
Introduction In my post Last week, full of confidence I called a significant down-move on USD/JPY. It hasn't happened yet, while USD/JPY price action in the past week has been frustrating, insomuch that it is stuck. But then; the longer the market congestion, the more violent the breakout. In times like this when Price Action traders like to quote Munehisa...
DAILY CHART Trend: Following 4 consecutive Break-Out / Retests, hugging the 21 EMA tightly, S/R: USD/JPY has arrived at significant Support/Resistance Zone of 126 to 131. This zone happens to correspond with a swing point / accumulation zone in 2016. The pair has been trading above 131 since, and has only broken below 131 again in pas 2 weeks. #DXY...
Thesis: Increased Central Banks' balance sheets leads to currency debasement. Following from previous study into the increase in the Central Banks' Balance sheet.

I have to re-visit this. I am struggling to get 2 charts on the screen. Sorry for the dealy. If the sell-off on Dow Jones, or the rally on Gold have anything to do with tapering the Central Banks' Balance sheets, they have a lot to talk about in Davos. Notice the Difference between the M3 and Central Banks' Balances. BOTH IS RELATIVE AND REAL...
