The last hourly candle looks quite promising for shorts, if price can get below its low this hour. Price also failed to break 142.900 earlier today before falling away.

Well one thing for sure, it's in heavy consolidation on an hourly basis right now and the spring is getting tight. When she pops she's going to run hard.

Looking at the daily where I place my zones it has space to the north and the south.

On another note, although I know EUR/JPY, USD/JPY and GBP/JPY don't always correlate exactly, however currently EUR/JPY and USD/JPY are making moves up on the 1HR and GBP/JPY hasn't been able to follow them very well so far.

I've never really thought one can predict the movement of one currency with the movement of another (within the ones you mention) but that's probably largely due to my lack of understanding of "overall" market influences. I know certain currencies have an almost direct correlation but for me, these 2 (not GU of course) have only one thing in common and that's obviously the yen. All I know in "general" is dollar strength "usually" means yen weakness. But I've seen the GBP and EUR run completely different ways a lot. So the only common thread is the yen.

So all I can do (until I learn more perhaps) is stick to my charts for each individual pair.

Earlier it looked like this pair was going to drop off a cliff, the weekly support pivot at the 142.30 area and the monthly pivot at 142 area look to he holding, along with the 50% fib level from the low to the swing high, also the bullish harmonic pattern on the bigger timeframe is holding upto now, everything I use to make my decisions is pointing north, to that end I'm holding my long position, but lets see what happens.

I don't know anything about harmonic patterns and I've never really put much behind volumes either. But just a point of interest here on the 4H out of shear boredom.

The first arrow had a volume of 13,807 and the second had 24,498 and yet it still couldn't break the 50% which as of now, is holding strong.

I'll keep my short positions for now.

My reasoning behind my statement was them all having yen as a common denominator. If two out of 3 pairs are going north it makes me wonder why the 3rd pair isn't doing the same thing.

Well something is really trying to rally the pound and I have no idea what. So I'm watching closely the next few 15m bars as I'm not convinced of anything right now.

Well I hope so but always remember, an open mind makes a better trader.

If I have to cut these shorts for a small loss I won't think twice about it. I've learned the hard way that hanging on to hope is a VERY costly approach in this business.

5 or 8 (depending on how you look at it) rejections at roughly the same point if this hourly fails to break through again.
