USDJPY DAILY CHART – TRENDLINE BROKEN BUT…

Was it intervention or some hedge fund exiting short JPY carry trades when US yields fell after CPI?
All that matters is the market could not absorb the selling.
Key daily trendline was broken but without a close below it.
On the upside, the BoJ will not want to see it back above 160.25
In any case, the market will assune the high is in for now, but would need to get through 167.41 to put 155 in play.
Look for choppy trading but a limited upside while below 160.25.
EURUSD 30 MINUTE CHART – MY MOTTO

My motto: When logic says one thing and The Amazing Trader says the opposite, don’t ignore what THE AMAZING TRADER is saying
What’s it saying
In this case, falling blue lines are saying the intra-day risk had shifted to the downside. Those looking to buy the dip are trading the last episode when a new one had begun. Note I said intra-day as the dollar is still down on the day except vs the CAD,
Similar patterns are in other currencies as well after the CPI dollar dive ran out of steam.
GBPCHF 4H
Kind of a strange choice of instrument for me – Yes, it has never crossed my mind to play with this cross 😀
But one of our new members brought it up to my attention, so I added some of my own recipe to it and Voila…
Robinson saw it on time and  together we are now bringing it up to your attention.
Supports at : 1.15350 , 1.15100 & 1.14950
Resistances at : 1.15550 , 1.15750 & 1.16200
We should start paying attention to it….
Thank you Robinson for this little gem 😀

We have a wealth of information in our blog and this is one of those articles which helps explain some of the price action, especially in equities and earler in USDJPY today.
Again, not tooting my/our horn, because frankly Jay who runs GVI is the one to listen to most, but … in case you missed it about a week or so ago, Michael (who I know a bit) and I called the Euro bottom (I filled one pip from the low) and everyone thought we were nuts going long. Its possible we are worth paying attention to. The volatility this morning is my kind of market, I get bored waiting for a 3 pip run that takes 10 hours, fast break is my game on the basketball court. Agree with Jay, hard to make a case for long US dollar today.
Yen pairs did the exact opposite of everything else on the data and I’ve been aggressively selling EurJpy with quick trades on pull ups. Now we see if those pairs join the risk on tone. US 2yr note is firmly bid from 102’10 so that is a good spot to consider some positions if it gets there. The market will ordinarily test the starting point roughly, hence the pullback occurring.
Not tooting my horn just pointing out that this transpired and nothing post-CPI has changed this dynamic –
(posted yesterday early US session)
Internals showing AudJpy wants to go over the figure, time will tell. Interestingly the sell cycle in Sterling remains intact but internals are a scorching bid, so either Sterling breaks uphill strongly today or tomorrow and establishes a new buy cycle with higher full figure prints targeting 2900 + or continues to decline toward 2780. Perhaps consider the offer around 2900/10.
