On the AUdJPy 4 hr chart, it seems an ascending triangle is forming. Again, the risk is to the upside. Anyone disagrees ?

General comment. Although the risk play seems to have faltered, but it is very well supported. There maybe a second phase of the risk play.

Hi all,

It seems on the hourly chart that EurUsd is forming a flag formation, i.e. that there is a potential break to the upside. Any comments ?

Why is the Yen rising to the USD when there is risk play going on ? All others are rising to the USD.

Need advice and like to share my experience. How do we know the next leg down is here ?

On June 4, EuroYen started declining. I told myself, better wait for confirmation. Maybe just a correction of the up move that started on June 1. Then it moved down so much and so fast that I told myself: it was very near its previous low. Most likely the down move is over. Then it moved further down and ended. I missed the whole move down of 400 pips.

Then on 15 June, it moved down more than 100 pips down from its high around 112.82. Well, I told myself the downtrend has started and I joined in. Then it started moving up.

Any advice ?

Any one has a clue on Yen movement ? Catnip, will you short Euro vs USD or vs Yen ? My feel is that there is severe risk aversion, EuroYen will move more but it will also spring back more so that from Dec 09 till now, EuroUSD has moved down more than EuroYen which is almost sideways plus a shift down.

Hi all,

What do you think is the event that will trigger Euro next leg down ? SocGen losses, Fitch downgraded Spain (has it already don that ?), downgrade of Italy by one of the three agencies, collapse of a European bank (Commezbank), E.Europe collapse ? We'll need one or will Euro just drift slowly down ?

houram,

May I contribute. The euro never retraced beyond its previous highs since Dec 09. Not expecting it to go to 1.30.

Hi Ashraf and all,

Euro must fall below what value (other than its previous low around 1.18 something) to signal the next leg down is beginning ? There are false breaks to the north as mentioned by others, but there are also false breaks to the south as on Friday.

Also, better to short it against the USD or the yen ? If risk aversion to return, the yen is bound to rise and the euro may move more with the yen ?
