USDJPY - Date 28-7-2013
One way to easily identify a market increasing in volatility is 5 day ATR > 20 day ATR. USDJPY is increasing in volatility.
FOREXAnalysis: The USDJPY traded into the bottom of 3 week consolidation this week. Volatility is increasing but remains relatively low. Strength from the current level would present an opportunity to participate on the short side for a larger decline. Thursday’s late day spike low is resistance along with Friday’s post Tokyo consolidation at 98.80/90. Also, watch the underside of the broken channel (in red) for resistance.
FOREX Trading Strategy: Looking for a high into 98.80/90. 97.50 and 96.40 are estimated supports with 95.40 as ultimately the strongest support and a final target.

EURUSD - Analysis
Date: 6 Jan 2013
FOREX Observation:
The EURUSD completed an inverse head and shoulders pattern in early
December that had been forming (bottom of left shoulder) since the
second week of 2012. Here we are exactly one year later and it is
possible that the first big move of 2013 is higher as per the completed
pattern. Price is testing the neckline as support now but the classical
pattern is considered valid as long as price is above the breakout bar
low of 12875. Objectives to think about include where the rally from the
2011 low would consist of 2 equal waves, at 13787 and the traditional
h&s objective of about 14260.
FOREX Trading Implication: Focus for now is on initiating a core long. I wrote last night
that I was looking to go long on an NFP washout in the mid-12900s. We
dipped slightly under 13000 before drifting higher to end the day
though. A slight new low can’t be ruled out, especially considering the 3
wave advance from today’s low. A Monday low would be most desirable
when one considers weekly seasonality. Speaking of seasonality, failure
to put in a low by Tuesday would leave the EURUSD vulnerable on a
monthly seasonality basis (high is first day of the month). Bottom line;
I’m looking to buy a drop below Friday’s low, probably between 12950/85
on Monday.

AUDCAD - Analysis
Date: 27/11/2012
Bias: Bearish
Looking at the daily chart, the price has hit resistance T1 and bounced. This made me turn bearish.
The prices retraced 68% (on 1hr chart) and bounced. We go short at current level (1.0389) against stop loss 1.0480 and first target at recent low or 1.0260 (T3 on daily chart). We will move the stoploss to break-even once the price hits 1.0290 (T2 on 4hr chart)

EURGBP - Analysis
Date: 27/11/2012
Bias: Bearish
The longer term trend appears to be bearish (Daily Chart 1). The trend had retraced and broke the rising trendline T1. This T1 should and would prove to be resistance. The daily price rose to T1 and showing reversal candlestick pattern at T1 (Daily Chart 2). And also we have potential head and shoulder pattern.
We will go short at 0.8070 against 0.8120 as stop-loss and first target would be 0.7980

AUDCHF - Analysis
Date: 26/11/2012
The price has reversed from 50% retracement on daily chart and I hope and assume the downtrend has resumed. I will like to go short at appropriate level.
Looking at 4hr chart, both the defense of support trendlines is broken. This is in confirmation with daily analysis and direction. We will look to go short at appropriate level.
Bias: Short
Entry: Around 0.9750
Stop loss : 0.9825
Target : <Open>
===============================================================
Update: 26/11/2012
Trade - 1
Entry: When short at 0.9712 with RSI hovering at around 60
Stop loss : 0.9830
Target : <Open>
===============================================================
Update - 30/11/2012
The plan layed out on 26/11/2012 has worked to pip. The price has hit the defined level precisely at 0.9750 before resuming falling. See Chart 3. The RSI on 4 hr chart has entered into oversold level. We will refrain from entering into another trade until this pressure is either released or neutralized.

Daily Analysis - EURUSD 10/10/2012
The price is nearer to recent trendline support (1.2830)on daily chart. We might as well have a channel on 4hr chart and we are coming to the lower end of the channel.
If we break 1.2830, the price could reach 1.2740. On the other hand, if it rebounds, it could head towards 1.3000 again.
We need to wait for either break or rebound on 4 hour chart to take bias on the trade

Daily Analysis: AUDUSD - 10/10/2012
The AUDUSD has rebounded after gapping lower to open the week. Focus throughout October is lower towards 9968/80 (6/25 low and 61.8% retracement of rally from 9580) and 9900 (5/29 high) but respect potential for a more pronounced bounce into 10274 (10/5 high) or 10330 (38.2% retracement and former support). Weakness below the Monday low would warrant a breakout strategy towards the mentioned levels against the intervening high for the week (so far that high is 10219).

Daily Analysis: GBP/USD - 10/10/2012
The GBPUSD drop below 16066 opens up the door for a test of 15900 (38.2% retracement of rally from 15233 is at 15897, 8/23 high is at 15912), which would be expected to generate a market response. The 100% extension of the decline from the top comes in at 15970 and warrants consideration as a potential pivot as well. From a trading standpoint, today’s clean break offers a chance to be bearish on strength against 16217. 16070-16100 is resistance.
We would like to look out for opportunities to go short at 1.6070 with target at 1.5900 and stop loss at 1.5220
