USDJPY tests the 100 hour MA

The USDJPY has moved up to test a swing area between 127.33 and 127.434. The price is also moving up toward the falling 100 hour moving average at 127.50. The 38.2% retracement of the move up from the corrective low from March 31 is also near that area at 127.508. Lots of key resistance between 127.33 and 127.508 if the sellers are to remain in control.

Recall from yesterday's trade, the Asian session high moved up to test the 100 hour moving average and found willing sellers. Back on last Thursday, the price also corrected toward the 100 hour moving average only to find sellers early against that level.

With the moving average lower, the hurdle is easier. However, until the price moves above, the sellers remain in play and in more control. Sellers will lean against the moving average with stops on a break above.

On the downside, the move higher today was able to move back above a swing area between 126.93 and 127.008. A move back below that area would give sellers against the 100 hour moving average more comfort. Below that level, the low from yesterday at 126.33 stalled just ahead the 50% move higher from the March 31 corrective low. That level was also a swing hi going back to April 13 and near swing lows from April 15 before the next leg higher.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
