Dealers are reporting some profit taking in EUR/JPY over the last 30 minutes as funds take some profit off the table ahead of the Tokyo open. Japanese financial markets have been closed for 3 days and one is never quite sure how the Tokyo market is ever going to react. Just in case they too are in profit-taking mood, it seems wise to book some P.

    EurYen will hit 118.00 — it is written — no 2 ways about it

    GM Sean !

    I just have a weird question about cable , just right after you post this – my MT4 chart ( with FXCM ) Popped a 100 pips down candle ? I wasn’t at my desk to catch that drop – the LOW was 1.4865

    Is my chart broken ? or some crazy sl hunter just shaked off weak long

    Thanks Annie – that was a pretty easy call….
    Mito – I didn’t hear any news — most of my trades are based on charts and price targets are strictly based on my *feeling*

    Annie,

    Like we thought USD/JPY was down taking all the JPY crosses with it. Hope you liked the run down!

    Chart broken Thanh or else it knows something we don’t!! Low on Reuters over last 2 hours 1.5085

    Sean NZD unemployment rate at 6.0 down from 7.3%. Mild movement up. Don’t know how long though!

    sean, any news from ur frd who went long gbp?

  10. Annie on May 5th, 2010 22:52 GMT

    George they certainly did get spanked. I was just a spectator though…

  11. Annie on May 5th, 2010 22:54 GMT

    George or Lilac you doing anything with cable?

  12. Sean Lee on May 5th, 2010 22:57 GMT

    I don’t think he went long yet. He was saying that he felt there would be a big rally at some stage around the election but whether that rally starts from 151 or 149, he had no idea. He was right on the money re EURGBP as that has fallen 100 pips since yesterday so the sterling selling just isn’t there to the same extent as in the EUR

    if i may suggest … buying a Friday strangle option … 1.50-1.52 is probably the best way to play the UK election …. it should cost around a big figure ..

    No cable position yet, Annie, only really just had a good look at the chart since Monday.
    I might day trade it tomorrow if eur/jpy has a rest.
    In any event, won’t be holding anything overnight, cos I won’t be around.
