Forex Trade Setups Commentary: EURJPY Bearish Price Action, 21st December 2010

Forex Commentary:

The U.S. dollar was stronger against the euro, British pound, and Canadian dollar today, but it lost ground to the other majors.

The EURUSD has closed lower in 5 of the last 6 trading sessions; in those 5 lower closes were 3 bearish daily pin bars showing rejection of any attempt to move higher.

Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURJPY

The EURJPY formed a bearish inside bar setup / pin bar today, this came after the large pin bar setup from last Friday broke to the downside as expected.

We first discussed Friday’s bearish pin bar setup as a solid short setup in our member’s commentary last Friday, prior to the setup coming off. Our member’s who took the short are now sitting pretty as today’s bearish inside / pin bar adds further confirmation to the possibility of a re-test of support near 108.50 and provides traders the chance to move stops to break-even for a “free trade”.
