Hey folks,
EUR/USD saw sideways action today with little for the market to focus on. My short from 1.3470 alternated between profit and loss, but has yet to make a significant break in either direction, but I still remain confident in the trade. See Monday's signal for details.
USD/JPY may be setting up a floor for another rally leg on the 4 hour chart. The odds are not overwhelmingly great, but the positioning has created a great risk/reward ratio. If USD/JPY can complete the bottoming process ahead of 84.00 and start heading higher, the pattern will be ripe for a rally likely targetting at least 86.65. I'm entering long here at 84.20 with a SL just below 84.00. For TP, my final TP is around 86.65, but I'd take partial profits just in case at 60 and/or 140 pips profit.
In news Tuesday, there's 2 reports due out to consider:
0430 UK GDP q/q final (1.2% expected) - Since this is the final revision, it is the least potent of UK GDP releases, and the least likely to give us a surprise. Nevertheless, if it does deviate by 0.2, 0.3, or more, it should give us a solid 40 pip move.
It it comes out at 1.4% or higher, GBP/USD should rally 40 pips.
If it comes out at 1.0% or lower, GBP/USD should drop 40 pips.
1000 US Consumer Confidence (52.5 to 53 expected) - This is another marginally tradable report, but with such a light data week, hopefully it will get a bit more attention from the market than usual. Typically, there's a better reaction in the US stock market than in currencies, but both should see a decent move.
If it comes out at 58.0 or higher, USD/JPY should rally 30-40 pips, and S&P 500 futures should rally 5-10 points.
If it comes out at 47.0 or lower, USD/JPY should drop 30-40 pips and S&P 500 futures should drop 5-10 points.
