Hey folks,

Going to keep it short and sweet tonight given the lenthy signal from last night.

I think USD/JPY is a good long here in the 84.00's (now 84.61). It bounced near 84.40 support and may manage a rally today. I'd use an SL a bit below 84.00.

EUR/GBP rally has continued with a lot of strength, but it's likely to taper off soon. EUR relative strength should turn to relative weakness at some point in the next week or so, but I can't say for sure when just yet.

EUR/USD has broken out high and as I said yesterday, may rally as high as 1.3800 before topping out; however, momentum short term looks a bit spent. I'd try a buy on a dip around 1.3335 (61.8% retrace of Wed's range) with around a 40 pip SL.

In news Wednesday, we saw no surprises from the BoE Minutes, but some bleak outlook on the economy led to a temporary selloff. CAD Retail Sales came out very low and reacted with a 50 pip spike, a full retracement an hour or so later, and a subsequent 120 pip rally off prenews lows. NZ GDP also came out quite low which led to a scenario #1 where almost all the price action came right away with a 50 pip spike down. In new Thursday:

1000 Exisiting Home Sales (4.10M expected) - This report is usually only good for 20-30 pips on the USD/JPY, but it makes a nice impact on US Equities enough to move the S&P 500 about 5 points quickly, and 10 points over 10-15 minutes.
If it comes out at 4.60M or higher, USD/JPY should rally 20-30 pips and ESZ0 should rally 10 points
If it comes out at 3.60M or lower, USD/JPY should drop 20-30 pips and ESZ0 should drop 10 points
