As Euro and Pound fall Yen strengthens



It looks like European currencies have finished their bullish marches and are ready to correct versus the greenback and also Japanese Yen. All technical sings are showing a reversal in Japanese Yen against all major currencies. I am not an expert in fundamental analysis, but that is also indicating that the downtrend in Yen that started at the end of November last year is about to end. I talked about the current conditions that are similar to those of 2012 (when Yen reversed) in my last post. 

I mostly concentrate my short orders around eur/jpy and gbp/jpy pairs. The reasons have been stated above. A few orders are already opened and I will start adding more when the eur/jpy breaks below 124.94 and gbp/jpy below 147.08. These are important support areas and if they break the move downward should accelerate. In fact, a conservative technical trader would have to wait for those levels to be broken before entering his first selling trades. I might be a little bit too early with my trade decisions, but as my stop loss orders are in place I am not afraid of anything. Hope the trend in Japanese Yen will really start this month.

FED fails to push dollar lower



FED interest rate decision failed to push US dollar lower and Euro rally stalled. Japanese Yen also failed to drop further and may start rising bit by bit. Tomorrow we have Non Farm Payrolls data, which will be key event of the week. It may hint as to whether Euro rally will continue or not. It can also provide new optimism for Yen bears. If that fails we may see significant correction in prices as Yen will strengthen, particularly against British pound. gbp/jpy may collapse to 134.00 level in the coming weeks and eur/jpy to 113.00. 

Eur/usd will also down. At least short term correction to 134.00 level should take place. So, let us wait to see further development in price action after NFP.
