Booking Profits on EUR/JPY

Booking Profits on EUR/JPY

 

You might have just booked profits on your EURJPY long as the market went to a 148.43-47 high. Our entry prices from last night were 147.90 and 148.05 for an average price of 147.98, which makes our second 50-point trade in as many days.

Here's a look at the entries from last night.

You might be wondering why we're jumping ship on this long trade at all-time highs. Well there is a massive reversal pattern in the form of a large AB=CD move to trendline resistance forming just above 148.50

So not only are we dumping our longs, we're flipping to get short. Within the massive daily AB=CD pattern is a smaller AB=CD on the 4-hour chart. The two D legs complete at 148.52 and 148.79,and there is a less significant 1.272 Fib extension of leg B-C furthering our case for reversal above 148.50, once the stops our whipped off the big boy's books.

I'm offering EURJPY at 147.58 and 147.78 with a 147.94 stop. I'll be looking to take some off the table and move the stop lower if we see a move back down into the New York breakout level of 148.30.
