No Stopping the Yen Pairs

The Japanese Yen strengthen at the start of the week as it took it's well known form as a safe haven. Gold as well caught a strong bid, but it appears the momentum was short lived. The majority of the Yen pairs have already reversed it's trends.
A possible reason for it could be the expectation for an announcement of further stimilus from the BOJ this week.
On Wednesday and Thursday we are set to hear from the BOJ. They are expected to release their monetary policy statement, as well as a press …

Fading EURO Weakness through the Yen

The most anticipated event of the week, The ECB Press Conference, has completely with a bearish impact. The outcome was mostly expected in the market as retail traders and bankers alike were positioned on the short side.
There are however some currencies at the moment, which I believe to be weaker then the Euro. The scandies for one (NOK & SEK) but also the JPY which has been in focus as of late.
I have decided to take a long position to try and take advantage of the price differential caused by…

The pair continued higher last week.  After some hesistation around the mentioned resistance zone of 143.00-143.50 it managed to close the week touching multi year highs at 146.50. 
This week we are seeing strong selling which has been typical to start the week, however, the basis is on a JPY risk event and may carry some weight.

EURJPY continued it's rally last week to touch the resistance area and target marked in the analysis.  The equal legs area which also confluences a 127% extension provided sufficient resistance for the pair for a larger move lower.  Timing wise the pair has reached the area ahead of the time expected and will continue to see if the pair will consolidate in this area.  So far 145.65 which marks the 2013 high has managed to support the pair

On the smaller cycles, the pair is stuck between the 50% retracement of the last leg down and a longer term trendline.  On the docket today is CPI data from Spain and Germany.  The German number has been forecast quite high in comparison to the overall inflation levels.  Will be keeping a close eye on the trendline which while supported has potential to bring the pair back towards targets.

The bullish move has occured.  Next on the docket is EUR CPI Flash Estimate.  This number usually comes in line but has the potential to cause some major volatility in the pair, especially if it comes in negative.  This number is the last risk event prior to the target date.

After faking out of the trendline the pair has once again shown clearly that the uptrend has most likely resumed.  With USDJPY leading the way breaking to new highs to start the week, the outlook on this pair is positive.  The chart indicates 147.947 as previous resistance which should act as support for the day.  To the upside we have 148.34 which is the resistance level (highest close on the Daily chart).  The pair can reasonably consolidate in this range prior to the NY Open.

USD, JPY, EUR & GBP Moves on Jackson Hole

The recent meeting held by the central banks revealed some interesting changes to monetary policy from some areas, where it was business as usual in others
USD - Yellen did not say anything unusual to what she has been saying for some time. She is remaining firm that the market should not expect interest rates to come soon, as it will be determined by jobs data, which has room to improve.
The USD did rally however. A possibility is that the market largely expected her to be dovish. Her speech wa…
