Short'n'longs by Alex

The USD/JPY currency pair is testing the 114.900 local resistance level at the moment. I’m going to sell it if the price fixes below 114.60. The nearest goal for taking profit is 113.85.

My expectations regarding USD/JPY have confirmed. The yen continued to strengthen against the US currency. Trump’s immigration policy supports safe assets. I expect further growth in demand for the yen. I will sell USD/JPY, if the price fixes below 113.30. Potential movement - to 112.60. The transaction may last for a few days.

The aggressive buying was observed on the NZD/USD pair yesterday. The currency has formed the 0.7295 local resistance level. I plan to look for entry points for opening long positions. I am waiting for the breakout and retest of the 0.7295 mark. The potential for movement - to the nearest round number 0.7350.

The US dollar weakened against the "majors" yesterday. The first Fed meeting of the year will be held today. Experts assume that the rate will remain unchanged. There hardly will be strong trending movements before the decision of the US Central Bank. I highlighted the key levels for opening short-term speculative positions. Let’s do some scalping today 😉

EUR/USD
Support: 1.0775, 1.0735
Resistance: 1.0810, 1.0850

USD/JPY
Support: 113.15, 112.60
Resistance: 113.85, 114.40

Trump criticizes the strong dollar. How soon will the US Federal Reserve increase the rate? Or should we expect another vector of events development?

Wish you all good profits!
 
Yesterday's Federal Reserve meeting pressed the US currency. The central bank left its monetary policy unchanged. The regulator pointed to a gradual tightening of the monetary policy.

USD/CAD

The technical pattern on USD/CAD indicates the development of a downward trend. I plan to sell after the breakout and retest of the 1.2980 mark. Potential movement - to 1.2950-1.2925. The transaction will be short-term speculative.

The RBA kept its monetary policy unchanged today. The regulator also noted the growth of China's economy, which is a key partner for Australia. I saw an increase in demand for the Australian dollar during the Asian session. Sales dominate on the market currently. The currency has broke the 0.7635 support level. I plan to open deals towards the current trend. I’m going to sell AUD/USD after the retest of the 0.7635 "mirror" the resistance level. Potential movement - to 0.7590.

So, I’ll watch how the price reacts to them. Maybe I’ll open short-time speculative orders from these levels with the reduced risk.
