EURJPY

EURJPY is now in consolidation flag/wedge formation. It briefly broke below 120.400 level of the flag but is near the strong support confluence of 100 and 200 SMA. We have a reaction from 119-119.500 zone and bounce but the weak EUR across the market is holding the upside momentum. Staying aside for now. 

 

NZDJPY

The pair is bouncing again from the uptrend line support 81 level. The daily close above 82.140 is needed for the upside continuation and a retest of 84. SL on long trades should be below 81.000.

AUDJPY

The pair has broken above the triangle and a Pitchfork channel median line 87 level and is about to test 88.400 level. The daily close above this level is required for the upside continuation into 90. SL on long trades below 87.200.

 

 

USDSEK

The pair has broken the falling trend line and bounced from 200 SMA 8.6975. Now the pair is on its way to test 100 SMA 8.9700 level on the upside. SL on long trades should be below 8.8000. We have now a test of 8.9700 level ongoing. A daily close above this level is required for an upside continuation into 9.0700.

 

USDNOK

The pair has broken above the confluence of resistance and is continuing the medium-term uptrend. The break above 8.4500 level is needed for the upside 8.6000 level target.

 

 

GBPAUD

The pair is moving inside the wedge between 1.6100 and 1.6500. Look for reaction/break of this levels for further direction in the pair. Staying aside for now.

 

GBPNZD

The pair has retested the lower wedge line 1.6800 level and bounced. Stil it is in the wedge and long term downtrend is prevailing. Look for reaction/break of 1.6800 level or upside 1.7300-1.7500 zone. The pair is ranging between 1.6800-1.7300.

 

Crosses are simply a measure of the relative strength of an individual currency against the dollar. Crosses are distinguished by the fact that they do not include the dollar as either the numerator or the denominator of the pair. As such, they offer traders a tremendous opportunity to make far more nuanced bets in the currency market than the simple pro- or anti-dollar trade.

What makes crosses especially interesting to currency traders is the fact that they can provide much cleaner trend or range signals which will be unaffected by the day-to-day oscillations of the greenback.
