Beginner Questions
#1

Hi,

This is my first post on this website.
I have a question regarding the lesson:

BabyPips.com > School > High School > Currency Crosses > How Cross Currency Pairs Affect Dollar Pairs

It says that you will have a stronger move in USD/JPY because the JPY will weaken.
But I think the same can be said for EUR/USD right?
Its not clear to me why you would have a stronger move in USD/JPY.

Or is the reason that they state that a major resistance has been broken in USD/JPY?
So its just a case of people jumping in because of tech analysis. (Same could be true if a major resistance of EUR/USD has been broken (but then the other way around))

Thanks in advance,

Kenneth

It doesn’t always work out like that.
In the example given, the Fed hike pushed UsdJpy over a major resistance level, so price then raced upwards and had a knock on effect on other Jpy pairs. In EurUsd price was not at any S/L level so price moved more moderately

Thanks for clarifying.
