usdjpy reversal signal at retest highAfter a 1 hour variation of an evening star during the London session this morning, I was alert during the New York session to see if price would be strong enough to push beyond its latest high; especially after a bullish engulfing. Price merely closed off with some buy exhaustion only to followed by a doji. This set-up looks like a false break of a major resistance level which is why I decided to take advantage of the retest during the best time of the day. Although the dollar yen is still overall bullish, there are sellers coming in to keep price from pushing higher. I've shorted the highs, no lower low yet except for intraday 5min. which is my entry point. Stop loss just above the high.
Technical Analysis
USDJPY high around 143.800The dollar has been in a weak uptrend for the past few hours so I decided to take advantage of some indecision at a high. Price presented a shooting star on the 30minute chart as well as a strong bearish engulfing on the 5min at the exact area needed for a short. This area is exactly where price closed at then was immediately rejected on last Friday (6/23). This retest could be early considering NY session is hours away. Also the lower timeframes haven't began creating lower low yet.
EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY, EUR/AUD and USD/CHF on watch for me today.EUR/JPY:
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our upper trend line and the last part of the move is corrective, then I'll be looking to get short with a risk entry after a phase line break on either the fifteen minute or the one hour chart.
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our upper trend line and it does so impulsively, then I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down followed by a tight flag and then I'll be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If price only pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline, then regardless of how it does so I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down followed by a tight flag and then I'll again be looking to get short with a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If none of these setups present themselves then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place any of these trades.

Time to go long on AUDUSDThis pair has been retracing for a few days now. I believe that after Wednesday's close, price is very close to reversing. The presentation of an indecision candle on top of a major support and between the 23.6% and 38.2% fib, signifies that momentum is slowing down for bears. I would wait for more bearish activity during following hours, and potentially for buyers to come in while there's volatility. Reversal candlesticks on top of this support are valid buy opportunities for at minimum 80pips. Look to buy after a false breakout to the downside or after the final low.

We adjust our negative stance on EUR/USD to neutralFollowing a week where we saw the Fed pause and the ECB raise rates, the Euro is looking a bit more positive and we will for now drop our negative bias and adopt a more neutral stance to see how it deals with tougher resistance near the 1.11 mark.

GBP/USD is in one-year highs - where is the next resistance?GBP/USD is in one-year highs - where is the next resistance?
In between 1.2867/85 lies a short term resistance line, the 55-month ma, the 200-weel ma and the 23.6% retracement of the entire move down from the 2007 peak. We recommend tightening up stops as we approach this tough zone as we would allow for some profit taking in this vicinity.

Swing setup on EU potential 300+ pipsPrice has given us enough signs that it will continue to go up. I'm just waiting for a pullback into discounted areas to look for longs.

US30: Price levels and pattern analysis post-FMOCToday's focus: US30
Pattern – Ascending Triangle, low rejection, Resistance
Possible targets – 35,260 - 33,255
Support – 33,790
Resistance – 34,310
Today we have looked at the US30 after this morning’s FOMC. The Fed held rates but commented that we could see two more rises this year.
With price bouncing back after testing lower, could we see a new shot at resistance, or will we see sellers make a new test lower, breaking the current uptrend? If the trend is broken, could this set up a new move back to test the long-term pattern base?
On the other side, could buyers make a new move to test or break key resistance? With rate raises back on the agenda will this maintain the current key resistance and hold price in its overall pattern?
Good trading.
How to adjust Fibonacci Support and Resistance Levels Hey Traders so today I wanted to make a quick video on what to do if your using Fibonacci and the market makes new highs or lows. I only use the daily charts however this may be able to also be applied to other time frames. The key in my opinion is to try and follow the market and let it confirm new levels before adjusting. Also in long term trends you may have to keep making adjustments multiple times before the market hits a top or a bottom.
Enjoy!
Trade Well,
Clifford
EUR/USD approaching key resistance - allow for initial failureDisclaimer:

$SPY Intra-Day Bearish SignalsIn terms of market direction, the short term trend is bullish, as the 9ema is trading above the 20ema. Moreover, the medium term trend is bullish, as the 20ema is trading above the 50ema. Finally, the long term trend is bullish, as the 50ema is trading above the 200ema.
As a friendly reminder, given that all three trends are bullish, it would be prudent to think long and hard about whether or not there is truly a technical basis for entering a bearish swing trade at this time. That being said, how strong is the current trend?
Notably, we closed above not only last week's high, but also the previous trading day's high as well. This is an indication that the bullish trend is rather strong.
Another way that traders analyze the strength of a trend is by appeal to the Average Directional Index (ADX), in which high readings are suggestive of strong trends and low readings are suggestive of weak trends or chop. At the moment, the ADX has a value of 50.25, indicating an extremely strong trend that is likely soon approaching exhaustion and at risk of correction or reversal.
We also have to consider the two main momentum oscillators: the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator. Currently, the RSI reading is 83.57, indicating that the market is technically overbought and may be due for a correction or trend reversal. For its part, the Stochastic Oscillator currently has a reading of 96, indicating that the market is technically overbought and may be due for a correction or trend reversal.
Beyond the momentum oscillators, we also need to familiarize ourselves with the relationship between current price and the Bollinger Bands. At the moment, price is approaching the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that the uptrend may soon encounter resistance.
With regard to the question of trend reversal, we need to check for any crossovers between certain indicators and their respective moving averages.
Currently, the RSI is above its 14-candle moving average, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength. Currently, the Stochastic Oscillator is above its 3-candle moving average, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength. Finally, the MACD is above the signal, indicating ongoing short-term trend strength.
Crosssover analysis is not the only way to test for potential trend reversal. Another strategy involves looking for divergence between indicator readings and price action. At this time, there is bearish divergence between RSI and price action. Moreover, there is currently bearish divergence between the Stochastic Oscillator and price action. Finally, at this time there is currently no divergence between MACD and price action.

AUDusd continues to make higher highsThis pair is very beautifully creating its higher highs. I was initially hesitant to go long as price was up trending however there were some bearish signals such as lack of strong bullish candles. This bullish push was made with weaker candles beneath this resistance. After a retracement, and a re-test of support, the trendline, or daily/weekly support.
