The three keys components that provided support were the Ichimoku Cloud base on the Daily Chart, which is comprised of the 50% retracement over the last 52 data periods. While price did break below the cloud technically, we did not see the lagging line (bright green) break into the cloud, and we did not see a strong move lower once price pierced the cloud, but rather price moved sideways before beginning this week’s retracement.

While we remain Bullish due to fundamental and technical factors, there is a rising wedge pattern developing that should warrant attention. The rising wedge pattern has ...
In our last article, we looked at the potential for a new higher-low in EUR/JPY after the European Central Bank extended QE. After this announcement, the Euro was offered-hard across-the-board, but as we noted, the ‘bigger picture’ trend in EUR/JPY has been quite bullish, and traders would likely want to use that short-term weakness to position-in to longer-term bullish strategies. The level that we pointed out around 120.85 had helped ...
