GBP/USD 

  • Breached the Weekly Pivot for the classification of "bear week"
  • Found support today at the Monthly R1 pivot and the Weekly S1 pivot at about 1.9880
  • Only taking long positions at this time
  • Currently in short mode

I don't see there being a play long on the daily anytime this week and probably not for most of next week. 

USD/JPY

  • Broke up above monthly R1 pivot
  • A tell-tale sign of today's break might have been yesterday's close above the weekly pivot point
  • The price is approaching weekly R1, about 40 pips away
  • Take only long positions but the trend might not be clearcut. 
  • Currently in long mode
  • Japanese economic data out tonight that will move this

Unpredictable at this point and waiting for the economic data tonight would be prudent.  If we get a break above 119.85 (W_R1), I would consider the following trade:

LONG at 120.10; STOP LOSS at 119.67; TARGET at 120.90 (Risk 43 to make 80)

EUR/USD

  • Has run up a lot and is in short mode right now
  • Only take long positions
  • Pivots seem inconsequential

No plays anytime this week.
