ust a quick update to yesterday’s thoughts & charts
EURUSD
The euro rallied well over 1.3850 today as Jean-Claude Trichet said that policy makers may soon hike interest rates to fight inflation. We are currently trading 40 points away from $1.40 and there’s no sign of exhaustion. However, I doubt we’ll see a break above 1.40 before the NFP – but a weekly close above 1.3850 is quite possible. My plan to buy at 1.3850 earlier today worked well and the position is at +100 pips right now. I will look to close half if price pulls back towards 1.3930 and let the other half open with stop at break even point.

USDCHF
The dollar recovered against the Swiss franc following EURCHF. As I mentioned yesterday – the chart was screaming for a reversal and we have it. Let’s see now how price reacts on reaching the former support line at .9330.

USDJPY
This trendline connecting the higher lows since October 2010 was quite strong so far and the bounce today was a good opportunity to play a potential reversal scenario. In case you are wondering why the USDJPY rallied – take a look at EURJPY and you’ll get the answer.

USDPLN
The daily chart looks more interesting today as the dollar declines below the rising trendline – suggesting that the whole consolidation cycle starting around January 20 was a bear flag pattern. It looks very bearish…

Another chart worth watching is the EURJPY. Some of you probably know that I’ve been waiting for the 115 test since two weeks ago and right now I expect more upside to be seen.
