CHF/JPY Analysis
My order from yesterday missed by a couple of pips. However i still a bullish potential in this pair, based on yesterday analysis
On the 4hr timeframe, the upwards channel has broken off sideways but we have a nice inside bar and we have some nice support now at the 92.52 area which we've bounced off 3 times
Price Action is the pin bar so i'm placing a long order on break of the mother candle at 92.84. Stop would be the low of the mother candle plus extra for spread
ENTRY: 92.84
STOP: 92.37
LIMIT: 94.25

CHF/JPY Analysis
Momentum has shifted to the bullish side on the daily timeframe. The pair seems to be ranging from 94.40s to 91.80s. The 4 hour chart shows we are in a bullish channel upwards and we have had roughly 5 bounces off 91.86 support. The daily timeframe also shows a bullish pinbar cnadle. I'll be looking to go long at nearest to 50% retrace of this daily candle as possible to target the top of the rang near 94.40s
Reasons:
- PIN BAR BULLISH
- 5 bounces off 91.86 support
- Trend shifted upwards
Order as below:
ENTRY: 92.44 (strong support on 4hr here so not quite 50% retrace which wouldve been 92.32)
STOP: 91.80
LIMIT:94.36
Risk/Reward: 3/1

EUR/GBP Analysis
Nice bearish pin bar candle again on the daily timeframe. Problem here is there a few support and resistance areas on either side which could make this choppy
However, the euro is still looking weak and im going for a SHORT order based on the below:
- Bearish pinbar candle
- With downward trend
- Previous resistance now support at 8817, 3/4 candles have bounced back off this area
- This area also marks a 38.2 retrace of the 5th May high
- 9 and 21 emas down and the bearish candle from Friday turned inbetween these moving averages
Looking for a 50% retrace of Fridays candle to go short
Entry on Order: 8750
STOP: 8804
LIMIT: 8642
Risk/Reward: 2/1

EUR/CHF Analysis
Big bearish candle on the daily timeframe suggests weakness for the euro. This pair is also in a bearish channel looks like ti wants to go into the 12300s. There is some big resistance though at 12400 which could be hard to break through. I'm placing a SHORt order based on:
- Big bearish pin bar candle
- With downward trend
- Within channel on dailt timeframe
- Bounces off 12700 support
- Retraced 38.2 of the 28th April high
- With 8 and 21ema which acts as support
Entry is near the 50% retrace of the bear candle and off 8ema at 12625
STOP: 12697
LIMIT: 12451 or near

GBP/JPY Analysis
This pair has developed some pretty bearish price movement today with a huge bearish candle on the daily timeframe.
We have had rejection on 13412 resistance which was previous support twice. We have also twice bounced off 50MA. We have also a 50% bounce off the Fibonacci retrace from the 28th April high
The previous 4 days have Inside bar candles forming where the candles on 6, 9 and 10th May are all within the mother candle on the 5th May. This is a quality price action setup with the trend which is now down. This setup along with the pin bar which broke up above the high of the mother candle then back down again indicates a false break out. This setup is known as the 'Fakey' setup as taught by Nial Fuller on www.learntotradethemarket.com
I would normally place a order to go short at the 50% retrace of todays daily candle. However, as the sell off was steep, i'll place a short order at 8EMA
So im going to go short because:
- With Trend
- Bearish Pin bar candle
- Inside Bars
- 2 bounces off support which was previous resistance
- 2 bounces off 50MA
- 50% retrace off the 28th April high
- 'Fakey' setup (www.learntotradethemarket.com)
ENTRY: 13271
STOP: 13410

EUR/GBP Analysis
More bullish movement for the britsh pound here
The weekly timeframe posted a huge bearish reversal candle to change the direction of the current trend so am expecting some weakness lower
Daily chart has had to days of big falls and today and produced a bearish pin bar candle as well. theres a lot off niggly support areas but the one im looking at next is the 8669 area which is clear on the weekly chart
The trend is not in our favour on the daily/weekly timeframes which makes this a risky trade but the bearish movement makes the play tempting. 9ema and 21ema have also crossed down on the daily chart which suggests a possible shift in trend. As the stop isnt too big and a potential 2.5/1 risk reward on offer, i'll play the order game here again. 50% retrace of todays daily candle to enter
ENTRY: 8778
STOP: 8822
LIMIT: 8668

The fall that started last week has fallen into support by the way of 50MA, hitting the bottom line of a bearish channel and rejecting 16361 support
It has also formed a bullish candle and most importantly, is still with the trend, giving us a price action setup to go long. Again, im looking for a 50% retrace of todays candle on the daily timeframe to enter to go long. Below order placed:
