You took a short right on the trendline. See Phil's weekly anticipation for EJ and EU DAILY CHARTS.

Hi Xeneric,

Thanks for your guidance. Will watch Phil's weekly anticipation closely in future. Another lesson learned.

Yes, Phil's analysis is very good. In my case, it was profitable too. I was already long EJ, and then when I saw UJ at the 83.00 level today, I took a long on UJ thinking that I will do a quick countertrend trade. Who would have thought that the BOJ would intervene like it did ? It is very unusual but they obviously thought that the yen was too high. Unfortunately I took profit at last resistance and it kept going up. Anyhow it was still very good profit but it wasn't a 4 hr macd trade.

Apparently it is the first time in 6 years that the BOJ have intervened with the yen.

You are right. In forex market, one single news can move the pair up or down like no body business. But as long as it is a profitable trade, we should be happy enough

Hi sodeypunk

The 1.3000 level is a round number level and I would expect resistance here and even a pullback before continuing on.

GU is in a daily trend now. There was a nice TC yesterday. I was waiting for it but the volatility caused by the yen devaluation created a lot of volatility in GU and when it finally settled down and moved in the right direction, I was asleep.

That was a nice CT trade, sodeypunk. Worked out well for you but they can be quite risky with a strong trend.

I expect a bounce off the upper tl, maybe we get an entry on 4h next week

another possibility of course could be a break, forming an descending h&s, also here 4h tf may offer an entry

what do you think?

i think if a round top or an aggressive turnaround pattern formed on the resistance line, it would be a good entry. lets just see what macd and candle patterns form around that area next week.

This morning I was thinking to long GBPUSD at the red arrow point when it retrace back to EMA8. Daily has bounce off EMA21 with MACD confirmation. However, MACD in H4 have not confirmed, so I was thinking to wait for 12pm confirmation but the price just fly without me Guess I have to learn to read daily, H4 and H1 for better entry signals...
