  • 100 hour MA stalls the fall for now
USDJPY failed on Friday

The USDJPY has wandered lower in trading today, helped by continuation selling from Friday's failed break.

Looking at the 4 hour chart, the USDJPY moved above a swing area between 134.49 and 134.76 on Friday. The high price extended up to 135.111 before running out of momentum and rotating back to the downside.

On Friday, the fall, took the price back below the swing area (see red numbered circles), closing at 134.14. The buyers had their shot. They missed.

Today, in Asian trading the USDJPY price rebounded just above the low of the swing area up to 134.533. Once again momentum higher stalled, and the price started to find sellers. The price subsequently rotated back to the downside, reaching a low of 133.914. The current price is trading at 134.05.

Drilling down to the 1 hour chart (see chart below), the move lower today did find willing buyers against the rising 100 hour moving average . That moving average currently comes in at 133.886, just below the low price for the day at 133.91.

Buyers are leaning against the risk defining moving average on the first look. It will now take a move below, to tilt the bias more to the downside in the short term. The low from Thursday at 133.59 followed by the 38.2% retracement of the move up from the February 10 low at 133.079 would be the next downside targets.

Dip buyers against the 100 hour MA, would now want to see the recent swing highs near 134.30 and 134.36 broken ahead of the higher swing area between 134.49 and 134.76.

The 100 hour moving average stalled the fall so far today

Sellers early to start the week, but the moving averages support target held on the first test.

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...
