Commentary – The GBPJPY is at a very interesting juncture.  We have been looking to get bearish for some time, but not until a rally to 232.38/233.68 completes wave ii of C.  That said, the GBPJPY rally from 221.27 was in 3 waves so it is very possible that wave ii is complete at 230.33.  Still, subjectively speaking (COT data is the big one here), we would like to see a larger correction in wave ii test the 232.38/233.68 area before we commit to the bearish cause.  A break of 221.27 would turn us bearish for the drop to 210.00.  


Strategy – Get bearish near 232.38/233.68, against 241.35, target 210.00

 Commentary – Expectations are for a drop below 2.2602 to complete wave v (and larger C) from 2.4205.  This would possibly complete a large correction from 2.4963.  The individual legs of the cross support a bearish bias as well.  The USDCHF is rolling over into its own 5th wave and the GBPUSD recently broke through significant trendline support. 

Strategy – Flat 


Commentary – There is no change to the call for the GBPAUD decline to accelerate. “Larger wave 2 may be complete at 2.3887.  A cautious bearish bias is warranted against 2.3887.  As such, we are bearish and expect the decline to accelerate in wave 3 of a 5 wave bear cycle that began in August at 2.5640.  Keep in mind that this pair broke a supporting trendline that dates to 1985 back in August and that the next major support level is not until below 2.0000.”  Near term, the choppy decline from 2.3887 could be a series of 1st and 2nd waves.   

Strategy – Bearish, against 2.3887, target TBD
