EURJPY Weekly and Daily Charts

Price Action Breaks Major Weekly Level

Price action has broken out and through a major daily and weekly level on the EURJPY.

Whilst we don’t often discuss the weekly charts, the weekly time frame on this pair shows this major level and the breakout the clearest.

In our recent trade ideas of 25th January we were looking for a potential quick move into the 125.00 and 126.60 area. As you can see from the charts below, price has now broken through this level with strong momentum.

Any quick pullbacks into this old resistance and new support could provide for potential high probability long trade setups.

Price Moving Into Crossroads

Price action on the daily chart of the AUDUSD has been trading in a tight box for the last 17 sessions.

Whilst price is trading within an overall sideways ranging pattern, price looks to be coming to a crossroads and we may finally see where it wants to move.

Before moving into this sideways consolidation pattern, price had been in a heavy downtrend since the start of 2018. If price can now finally break out of the range and tight box, then we could see a fast break lower with potential breakout trades opening up.

Price Slams Through Daily Support Level

In last week’s commentary we posted about this market, looking to see if price would continue higher after a small hesitation.

Whilst price tested the near-term support level, it soon slammed lower and in the process broke through two major daily support levels.

As you can see on the intraday 4 hour chart below; this move was very aggressive with price forming two large Bearish Engulfing Bars, in which a small up candlestick is followed by a large down candlestick.

This breakout support level will now be super interesting to watch over the coming sessions to see if price will make a quick move back higher and to re-test as a new resistance.

Price Testing Major Daily Levels

On 22nd Feb we posted about watching the major daily resistance level in this market as it looked to be a clear daily level for price to move into and make a fresh re-test.

The first test we saw was small with the pull-back lower a minor move. Price is now looking to make a fresh attempt at breaking higher.

A break higher in the next few sessions and we could see price continue this strong and aggressive move higher.
