This pull back to former resistance is a good place for entry should we indeed see a changing tide. Small position for me now (so that my stop can be placed below 1.0950) and will add if we get above 1.13.
It's building this morning. The dollar is strong across the board. Talk of intervention across the commodity bloc (don't know how much weight I would put into it; but it doesn't hurt).

Already took profit on the first jaunt into the position for 170 points. Allowing the rest of built-up position to run.

My CADJPY position has also played out nicely - though it looks like the pivot at 85.85/95 is going to hold up progress. After such a sharp decline, it may be difficult to find follow through. Moving up my stop to secure some profit.
