Oil: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: Oil Pattern – Support Hold Support – 71.80 Resistance – 78.80 Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at Oil. After a solid three-day decline, buyers have put up a fight from 71.80, but is this enough to hold the current uptrend? A break below yesterday's bar with a trend break could suggest that the current move lower has further to go. We have reviewed a few scenarios we are looking for, depending on what we see today. Good trading.

USDJPY: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: USDJPY Pattern – Consolidation Watch Support – 146.20 Resistance – 148.50, 151.70 Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at the USDJPY. After US employment data shocked on Friday and lifted the USD, we are wondering if we will see trend continuations on the USDJPY. So far, the price continues to travel on its uptrend after breaking the last downtrend in December. The key for buyers now is a break of 148.50 resistance. If we see that break, we will be waiting to see if buyers can retest 151.70 resistance. A close below 146.20 would be a worry for buyer momentum. Good trading.

GBPUSD: Analysis Pre BOE Rate decision. Today's focus: GBPUSD Pattern – Consolidation Watch Support – 1.2665, 1.2610 Resistance – 1.2751 Hi, and thanks for checking out today's video update. We are looking at the GBPUSD today as the price continues to consolidate in a rough ending diagonal pattern. We have also chosen the cable as we have the UK rates decision to come out later today. Depending on what we see from the BOE, this could be a catalyst to break the price out of its current deadlock. Yes, we do have a consolidation in an uptrend but its not a traditional continuation pattern so we are waiting to see if, and where price breaks ou before we start thinking about directional calls. Rates are expected to remain on hold, so we will be looking for policy clues in the statement. Will we see a breakout today? We have run over scenarios for price and points we will look at for potential confirmation. UK Interest Rate decision is due today at 11:00 pm. Good trading.

JPN225: Continuation idea with explanationToday's focus: JPN225 Pattern – Continuation Support – 35,860, 35,500 Resistance – 36,215, 36,718 Hi, and thanks for checking out today's update. We are looking at the JPN225 today, but it's more from an educational standpoint around a continuation pattern that uses the moving averages to help qualify the setup. This setup comes from a system called the Floor Trader Method. Yes, I know floor traders most likely didn't use moving averages. But if you read it, you will see it mainly focuses on price position and retracement shape. The moving averages are there to assist in seeing the trend and qualify. We have run over some aspects of the method and how it can be seen in today's price setup. We have also run over targets and stop points with both a higher perspective and a lower failed perspective. It will be interesting to see if the JPN225 can retest its previous resistance and highs and set up a new fast trend. Good trading.
