This is the small wave count within a much more bearish medium-long term wave count (see my posts #7728 and #7729) from last week for a longer term perspective: http://www.learncurrencytrading.com/...13880&page=516). In those posts I showed the five wave rally completed, and then called for a corrective rally last week due to the bullish divergence on the MACD and completion of 5 waves down. The proved correct because last week was practically all rallying but the high of around 13,140 remained intact, so the analysis remains sound so far. During the rally, the advancer/decliner ratio and volume was around 3:1 at best. During the 5 wave decline the week prior, we had days of 9:1 decliners to advancers. Clearly the pressure is still down in the stock market. I expect this upcoming week to be met with more risk aversion and heavy selling in the stock market.

This analysis might be of use to currency trading in relation to the pairs tied to risk. I think the JPY has a good chance of strengthening soon, which should put downward pressure on the USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, etc. If the stock market is indeed in its next wave down (wave iii; see chart attached), then the above mentioned currency pairs should follow suit.

Very good analysis of DOW and the NASDAQ, great work.
I totally agree with your assessment of the situation and your take on the JPY crosses.
As we discussed many times previous, the japanese crosses follow closely the stock market. Any weakness in the stock market will result in japanese crosses plummeting.

A few weeks back I post some charts looking for GBPJPY to rise in price again based on a Bullish Harami candle I saw on the weekly chart as well as a 5 wave advance followed by a three wave decline on the shorter time frames.. I wasn't right on the money with my labeling of the 3 wave decline, but I wasn't too far off at all... Looks like that's the second time I've nailed this pair in the past few months...

There are three charts here.. The first one shows where we are now.. the other two were posted here weeks ago..

There seems to be a number of gap plays on all few of the GBP crosses.

I think the best gap to close may be EURGBP, anyone got any thoughts??

Good observation, Ray
All common gaps must be filled within a short time frame, usually few days.
Breakaway and runaway gaps frequently never get filled.

Regardless of how strong a long-term market trend is, the market never moves only in the direction of the long-term trend – there are always minor movements against the long- term market trend. These deviations usually don’t last very long and after them the market moves again in the direction of the long-term trend.

The major market movements in the direction of the long-term market trend are called impulsive waves and the minor market movements against the long-term market trend are called corrective waves.

Hi Mike

So far so good on EURGBP, looks like its closing in on the gap, looks like a top is in now on the 30 min.

Cable looks sick, not sure we are going to get a move up to close the gap today!!

By the way you seen EURJPY, i stayed in just closed. 150 pips to the good.

Regards

Ray
