Forex Trade Setups Commentary: GBPJPY 4hr fakey, 22nd December 2010

Forex Commentary:

The U.S. dollar was basically unchanged today against the euro; up 1 pip, the greenback has now gained on the euro 6 out of the last 7 trading days.

Today’s EURUSD price action saw the formation of yet another bearish pin bar, as price moved higher early on in the trading session into the 8 day ema but quickly got sold lower as the trading day came to an end in New York.

The greenback also gained ground against the British pound and New Zealand dollar but lost to the other majors.

GBPJPY

The GBPJPY formed a very nice 4 hour fakey setup recently in-line with the bearish momentum on both the daily and 4hr chart. A big shout-out to “rsd”; one of our member’s in the forum who posted this setup before it came off, giving everyone in the forum a chance to catch this great price action setup.
