Forex Commentary: EURUSD and EURJPY continue moving higher, 9th February 2012

Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURUSD

The EURUSD is looking well supported just above old resistance / new support at 1.3200 and the 8 day EMA. Many of our members have now made a nice profit off the pin bar setup that formed rejecting support at 1.3025 from Monday. We can see the next key resistance is coming in near 1.3500, if price can stay above 1.3200 on a closing basis we could see a continuation of the recent bullish momentum.

EURJPY

The EURJPY has been cruising higher recently, most recently price broke and closed above resistance near 102.20 – 102.50, and we can see the 8 / 21 day EMAs are crossed higher and diverging. Note the two small pin bars that formed off the dynamic support of the 8 / 21 day EMAs just prior to this recent thrust higher. Support is now seen near 102.00 – 102.50 and we can watch this area for potential buy signals if price rotates lower in the near-term.
