Wednesday will be first day for Fed Chairman Bernanke to testify against congress, market participant will pay attention to hint or clues on Fed’s exit strategy. Most of today’s move will be driven by the anticipation of the news, so we recommend traders to wait and see first the result and the sentiment of the market.

USD/JPY



Not able to stay above support yesterday, USD/JPY is trying to go above the broken trendline, but rejected in the process. We think there is more room for bear in USD/JPY, close below yesterday low will open room for 98.30.

Resistance: 99.5, 100, 100.46, 100.7
Support: 98.26, 97.85, 97.00

EUR/JPY


Moving in a different direction than USD/JPY, EUR/JPY successfully maintains position above the support trend line, resistance currently at 130.6. If price can close above the resistance, we will see further bullish movement for 131.1. We favor Long position when price returns to trend line.

Resistance: 130.5, 131.1, 131.70
Support: 130.3, 130, 129.1, 128.9

Today market will wait for the final day of Bernanke Testimony, in Yesterday testimony, Bernanke outlined The Fed’s asset purchases “are by no means on a preset course” and could even be expanded should economic conditions warrant, he said in his policy address. Dollar falls after this remark and gaining ground again in Asian session.

Yes, we are expecting EUR/JPY to go up further, the only thing we need to be careful is price currently near to supply level rather than demand level, long still safe as long as price stay above the trend line.

Closing below trend line changes the short term trend for EUR/JPY, we are near strong supply level and this is a good place to take a short position, the only consideration is there was no lower low created yet, medium term trend still bullish.

Bounced from demand level at 130.7 – 131, EUR/JPY continues to challenge high and rejected at the trend line. Price seems reluctant to go lower, we expect another try to supply level, strong reaction needed to turn the price away from resistance. Breaking below 130.70 will open the way to 130 - 130.2

Resistance: 131.90, 132, 132.5
Support: 131, 130.6, 130.3, 130

thanks for the continued confidence to stay in eurjpy and add some usdjpy during the push lower earlier in week.

I’m going to gather that “supply level/area” for long might be “consolidation in the area of previous resistance” indicating maybe excess takeprofits in place in and around and up to?

if you [I]ever[/I] find time in the next month or so i would love to know if you have any reservations at all in treating a cross like eurjpy with the same type of technical analysis as you do a major like usdjpy? Know what i mean? Is not eurjpy/crosses just the arbitrage byproduct of the majors? Or, does it not even matter that the chart and levels might not be the result of direct money flow? It is what it is, and the levels are what they are regardless of what they are the result of

Hi, you are right, supply level means more seller present at that level which might turn the price away.
currently EUR/JPY is in area where it trigger sell off to 124.9 last month, there are several possibilities:

  1. Sell off happen and price keep making higher low which mean buyer present in the market and EUR/JPY might go higher than 22th May high, confirming continuation of the trend.
  2. Price consolidate, moving sideway, this might means supply being chunk-ed little by little
  3. Strong sell off and lower low created, In this case below 130.7, stronger confirmation if price close below that level.

There is no Sell signal yet if you see daily chart, EUR/JPY keep making higher high and higher low

Once again, you are right, EUR/JPY is by product of USD/JPY and EUR/USD. There was technique using both of them to forecast EUR/JPY movement.
In analysis posted here, there are levels and area chosen base on experience, we will think for all instruments/goods/currency/things exchanged, there is market for each of them, means there are institutional buyers and sellers available to maintain the levels and regardless of what happen in other pairs.

Here is one example in GBP/JPY there are buyers at the level and we were not looking at USD/JPY or GBP/USD
