GBP/JPY Update: Hourly, H4 and Daily Charts

The pair is at support, almost touch 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 118.8 to 163.06 at 146.16. The outlook remain bearish as long it stay below channel. Getting back inside the channel will turn the outlook to short term retracement to test the resistance. Target remains at 50% Fibonacci level at 141 area. Cable has been moving in negative correlation with USD/JPY most of this week, and we saw GBP/JPY stucked in between, resulting in volatile swings. Therefore, we need careful approach for the pair.

GBP/JPY Daily & H1 Chart: What A Week..

So, after 4 days of consolidation, the pair break the support trendline and drop to 150.48 before closing the week at 150.99. I added a trendline since my last post. On daily TF, we can see that the 23.6% Fibonacci level proved to be a strong resistance. The breakout also give assumption that the pair would have another move to test the support levels (see D1 chart).

GBP/JPY: There is the Breakout

The pair has just broken the support trendline and I'm hoping to see a test to 151 support, which is the AB projection from C. The pair almost broke the resistance earlier actually, with the QQE indicator also breaking the trendline. However the price failed to give a clear breakout and I decided not to enter.

Ok now, the outlook is bearish, but choppy movement should be anticipated while Cable still moving north. Have a nice day guys..

GBP/JPY: New Channels In Hourly Chart

Since the pair has broken the downtrend channel, we gotta need new chart setup. Right then.. here you go. Please look at the screenshot. I started by connecting PL (previous low) and HL (higher low) to get the current uptrend trendline. Next, I draw trendline from PH (previous high) to HH (higher high). Then I make a parallel trendline of PH-HH from PL to get an equidistant channel. Wow..I'm a bit confused myself :D Bear with me for a minute ok. I also draw another trendline from HH to LH (lower high), and put a parallel one from PH (previous high) to create another channel. Phiuuhh... Man.. that was exhausting.. Maybe its better if you just take a look at the screenshot ;P Happy trading guys!

GBP/JPY H1 Chart: Sell No More

The downtrend channel on hourly chart was broken again for the second time yesterday. The 30 EMA has crossed above 50 EMA also. However, the pair did make a lower low since my last post. Support for now is the Wednesday low at 149.02. I don't know the pair direction for now while the it still seems like a downtrend in 4 hour and 1 day time frame. The latest NFP will be release later on US session. Ok! Got to go now. ;D

GBP/JPY H1 Chart: Sell Again

Above is the updated screenshot of my last analysis for GBP/JPY in hourly TF (see post). The pair touch the resistance trendline again and I took it as entry signal for another short position. I also add outer trendline to measure the deviation. This can be the tolerance limit for SL if the pair break the inner trendline.

Looking at yesterday's performance of GBP/JPY, the sellers lose the ground after the pair touch 150.16 with another low at 150.05 after a few candles. The sterling had been in favor through the Europe and US sessions. As for today, well, we'll see.. :)

GBP/JPY H1 Chart: At Resistance Trendline

GBP/JPY seems to find its support for now at 151.05. The pair has been retrace since and reach the upper trendline which give opportunity to sell again. Stop loss is limited to around 153.29 (current high & 50% retracement). First target is 151.05 and, hopefully, break that support until 146.8x :) See the chart and my previous post ok! Byee..

GBP/JPY H1 Chart: Dare to Sell?

The pair touch the resistance trendline and seems like a good opportunity to sell. Target is around previous low with stop loss above the resistance trendline. The pair had broken the support but failed to sustain below it after a better than expected news series on Euro before on European session. Above the resistance would bring retest of 157.36 resistance.

GBP/JPY H1 Chart: Going Down?

The pair reached the resistance trendline and could go down to the support trendline. 30 EMA also still below 50 EMA. You can also see that the QQE indicator crossed above and below 50 level in this kind of market movement. The range seems to tighten up in H1 chart, which is kind of exiting for me. Why? Because after this we can expect a breakout in either way and hope for a nice movement :) Meanwhile, lets enjoy the sideway shall we..

GBPJPY Weekly Chart: Bounced & Close Below 30 EMA

Since my last post, the pair has reached as high as 162.58 before going down again to 154.05, which gave support for the pair. However, after sideways for the last 3 weeks, it went down for 1,000 pips this week. The pair also closed below 30 EMA, meaning that more down should be anticipated for the following week. The pair almost touch 38.2% retracement of 118.80 (low) to 162.58 (high) at 145.86. The target remains the same which is the 50% retracement at 140.69 area. That's all, have nice weekend. Take care..

GBPJPY Weekly Chart: Bounce Off 50 EMA Resistance

The retracement from 118.80 may come to an end as the pair has touch 50 EMA on weekly chart, or 38.2% retracement of 215.85 to 118.80 with 'high' at 160.45. Potential target for short is the 50% retracement of the retracement at 139.63 and may extend to test the 118.80 'low'.

Closed: Bloody Shorts

The EUR/USD and GBP/JPY short positions has been closed with loss. The pair broke their resistances and did not continue falling down as my analysis. Unfortunately I added some more positions when they retraced and lose track with my margin (silly!) and I compromised with my stop loss. I ended up losing 80% after having 50% floating profit from all positions!! Okay thats all guys. All I need to do now is gain back my losses.. wish me luck :)

Update: GBP/JPY 2nd Entry

I add another GBP/JPY short position at 142.84. The pair went back inside the channel and tested my Stop Loss level (near 23.6% area of 118.80 to 151.52 and 30 EMA in H4 chart) before it dropped again below the channel. Target still remain at 139.02 first and 135.16 next.

GBP/JPY H4 Chart

I also move SL to 143.30 based on the MA crossover signal. I add another trendline as you can see below, which had been broken now. However, the pair need to break it previous low at 140.58. Otherwise, I wont be surprised if it makes another bullish move later on US session. I'm preety confident though, that the pair will go to 135.16 area since USD/JPY had gone below it channel also, with QQE crossing 50 level. That's all. Bye :)

The first target is 38.2% retracement of 118.80 to 151.52 at 139.02 and 50% retracement next at 135.16. Below are the daily and 4 hour chart. Stop loss set at 144.50 area.

H4 Chart

It's been a while since my last post. Trading result had not been good with false signals on 30 EMA system (hourly chart) and several gambling trades :P I am still ahead of my monthly target though. Well, that is all guys. Bye :)

Closed: The Shorts Went Good

I closed the GBP/JPY position at 149.15 after it touch the lower channel on hourly chart. The pair broke the channel literally a few seconds after I closed it :P I quickly opened another position and closed it with 66 pips. So, it turned out that the second attempt to sell GBP/JPY ended well. As I mentioned in my previous post, the target can be more way down at 145.50 or 143.60 area. So I will look for 30 EMA signal on hourly chart to enter another short position.

GBP/JPY H1 Chart

I also entered EUR/USD after I realized that the price was near 1.3587, which is 50% Fibo retracement (yellow) of 1.4718 (December high) to 1.2456 (March low). The pair broke a minor trendline on hourly chart and I closed it at 1.3406, few pips above 38.2% retracement (blue) of 1.3113 (March 30 low) to today's high at 1.3580. There is a long signal on 4 hour chart actually with stop loss around 1.3265 but I think I'll wait until the pair touches or near another trendline below. Below is the chart. Happy trading!

Entry: GBP/JPY Second Attempt

The pair broke 148.30 resistance and went as high as 150.70 for now. I had closed my position from last Friday with 169 pips loss. I spotted another resistance on weekly chart and decided to give it another try. The pair has touch the 30 EMA on weekly chart at 150.75. My entry point was 150.40. The pair also at the upper channel on 1 hour chart. Below are the weekly and hourly chart.

50% fibonacci retracement of 118.80 (January low) to 150.72 is at 134.72. On hourly chart, 50% fibonacci retracement of 135.70 to 150.72 is at 143.21. However, 148 (broken resistance) and 145 (March high) area have to be broken first.

Entry: GBP/JPY at Resistance

Ok, this is definitely my last entry this week. GBP/JPY is at one of its previous highs at 148.58. The pair also almost reach 30 EMA on weekly chart. I entered short looking for 200 pips with stop loss at the resistance area. That's all. Bye.

Closed: GBP/JPY

My GBP/JPY position was closed with 145 pips. The target was actually much farther than that, but I forgot to change the take profit order. I was kinda confused with the original TP for 30 EMA system. It was a great price to buy actually and should be around 500 pips now. Well, the trade had been made and now I will focus on the 30 EMA system on 1 hour again.

Entry: GBPJPY Buy Signal

I entered GBP/JPY at 136.69 (yellow circle), based on the 30 EMA system on daily time frame. The pair also touched the support trendline (magenta) at 135.70 area and bounce for almost 200 pips at the moment. Retest to 135.70 area is very possible. The first target upside is the 38.2% retracement of 215.85 to 118.80 at 155.87. Next target are 50% retracement at 167.32 and 61.8% retracement at 178.78. Stop loss level is below the trendline.
