Currently the JPY is one of the weakest currencies depreciating against all other major currencies (except the US$). The GBP and EUR are currently the strongest major currencies appreciating against all other currencies. This information is obtained by comparing the trends of all the major currencies compared with all the other major currencies on a monthly, weekly, daily and 4 hourly basis. A future trade of the day will feature this analysis.
We were therefore looking for any excuse to use the JPY’s weakness and the EUR or GBP’s strength to trade motivate a trade. We noticed that a strong non horizontal upward sloping trendline was giving the EURJYP strong support as it trended upwards on the 1 Hour chart. We therefore followed this trendline with a buy entry order place in a position that would anticipate an upwards bounce off this trendline. This occurred at 166.85 when the price went to retest the support line. The trade soon went positive and the next concern was that the price was trading in a triangle and that the upper triangle resistance line would bounce the price back. The stop was moved to breakeven when the price reached the 167.25 area but it soon broke through and headed north. Our target was the top of the upper channel but we decided to close the deal at the close of the weekend market as we were +120 pips at that stage, which is what we did. Sometimes a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
