GBP/JPY technical levels and trading recommendations for May 10, 2013

May 14th, 2013

Overview

As shown on the today’s H4 chart, this week the pair has opened inside a bullish channel. Below the downward trendline, which means the pair will almost reverse its bullish move this week, it takes a downward move. Today the pair has already started its downward move after it had hit the Resistance level 156.75 and bounced from it to take a slightly downward move. Currently the pair is testing the Support level 155.80. Therefore, we should stop selling now till breaking this Support level and closing 4H below. In that case the pair will continue its downward move and open the way towards the lower limit of its bullish channel, so we can suppose our first target few pips above this level.

Resistance and support levels: R2 (157.50) R1(156.70) S1 (155.80) S2 (154.75) S3 (153.80)

USD/JPY: Upside prevails

May 14th, 2013

Overview:
USD/JPY is consolidating with bullish bias after hitting four-year high of 102.05 this morning. The rate is underpinned by positive dollar sentiment on Wall Street Journal article that Federal Reserve officials have mapped out a strategy for winding down the Fed’s $85 billion-a-month bond-buying stimulus program–in careful and potentially halting steps, varying their purchases as their confidence about the job market and inflation evolves–although the timing on when to start is still being debated; still, WSJ report bolstered view that the U.S. central bank is likely to wind up its extraordinary stimulus measures well before other major central banks do; Fed’s Esther George saying Friday she wants to see the Fed begin exiting its bond-buying program. USD/JPY is also supported by higher U.S. Treasury yields; weak yen sentiment on Bank of Japan’s aggressive easing measures to help reach its 2% inflation target; report Friday showing Japanese investors were net buyers of Y309.9 billion foreign bonds and Y28.0 billion foreign stocks during the week ended May 4, suggesting they were moving money out of the country following the BOJ’s recent drastic increase in its bond-purchasing program; Group of Seven leading industrialized nations at two-day meeting, ended Saturday, giving tacit approval to plunging yen as they reaffirmed their commitment not to use economic policy to seek weaker currencies and didn’t conclude Japan has broken that pact; USD demand from Japan importers and investment trusts. But USD/JPY gains tempered by Japan exporter sales; profit-taking on yen-shorts. Daily chart is positive-biased as MACD and stochastics are bullish, five-day moving average is above 15-day MA and advancing.
