Double Top on EUR/JPY

June 2, 2009 22:37 by Jon

Today EUR/JPY hit an area of resistance around 137.45, forming a double top on the daily chart.  We've been predominantly in an uptrend over the last several months, so long term, I'm still bullish.  However, with the formation of the double top, now may be a good time for the pair to take a breather and retrace back to the rising trendline.  Of course, it could go ahead and just break through the resistance, in which case I think we'd see a decent move up.

 

 

So, in anticipation of either move, I'm going to straddle today's price action with a buy above today's high and a sell below the low.  Here are my orders.

  • Long Entry:  137.506
  • Initial Stoploss:  135.722
  • Short Entry:  135.722
  • Initial Stoploss:  137.506

Michael,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm still here and still trading. I just haven't been posting lately. I've had trouble getting back into it since we had our baby, so I'm taking a little break. Plus, my performance has been pretty mediocre as of late. I'm working on a few things, trying to get myself on track. I'll resume posting when I feel like I'm moving in the right direction again.

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note! Good trading to you,

Jon
