Warning from Japan!! Nikkei and the Yen

The Japan 225 Nikkei Index is setting itself up for a nice and juicy drop to 15165 level. It is currently trading at 15563 and rising. Traders would know that the Nikkei and Yen are inversely correlated. So when the Nikkei falls, the Yen rises and vice versa. This drop in Nikkei adds validation to GBPJPY short positions (short term trade) and also a potential drop in CADJPY. All in all, beware of shorting the Yen.

As with Renko its hard to say when, but I reckon that the change of mood in the markets is around the corner. If not next week, then possibly by mid-August.

For the Nikkei, expect the first target to the downside at 15415 and 15165 levels and then a bit lower.

EURUSD - Potential Short Position

EURUSD, Renko charts show a possible downtrend in play, with the likelihood of a retracement, giving traders the chance to sell the rallies. There seems to be a good price level of 1.3526 and 1.3576 to short from, targeting 1.3376 with stops for both orders coming in at 1.3676.

The chart below shows the trade set up for EURUSD Renko charts.

The same chart when viewed with the regular candlesticks is shown below.

EURUSD - Daily Charts, Candlesticks
Notice how price is trading below the 200EMA. Stochastics are in oversold levels, pointing to a possible correction to the upside. The trend line has been broken and there was a clear re-test of the broken trend line as well, confirming the bias to the downside.

German DAX - Long Position

Buy from 9674, with stops at 9634, targeting 9854
Risk: 40
Profit: 180
4.5 RR

GBPJPY - Short Term high probability trade

Short GBPJPY at market, targeting 172.288. Add a new long position at the target, to exit at 174.788. This is in addition to my previous GBPJPY trade posted here.

In other news, NZDUSD moved like a stallion as expected. 0.858 isn't too far away. There was also a good shorting opportunity on NZDJPY, targeting 86.9. But it would be a bit too late to sell now, unless there is a significant pullback.

Sorry no charts on these posts.

NZDUSD Before RBNZ news

Massive divergence.... Targeting 858 and 849....

Its 22:30 where i am, so posting this from my ipad. Will update with charts tomorrow.

GBPJPY Long. Trade of the month

I'd put this GBPJPY trade into my 'trade of the month' category. With price breaking out of an ascending triangle and currently retracing the breakout level of 172.788, the upside target is 180.788.

GBPJPY - Renko Trade Idea
The stops for this long position comes in at 170.288. Mind you, this trade will take months to be cleared, so unless you have patience, do not even think about this trade. Its one of those 'set it and forget it' trade ideas.
