Pound Sterling vs Japanese Yen (GBPJPY) News

The Pound has advanced on firm footing during the last couple of hours, trimming losses against the Greenback and extending gains versus the Euro.

GBP/USD had fallen to a session low of 1.6263 where it rebounded, having recovered 60 pips since the Wall Street opening. Cable has managed to regain the 1.6300 mark and at time of writing it is quoting at the 1.6315/20 area, virtually unchanged on the day, after it gained over 1.1% on Thursday. GBP/USD is on track for its best weekly performance since last May.

The Sterling is outperforming the Euro on Friday after 2 days of losses, as even though the new bailout agreement for Greece relief the pressure over the shared currency, contagion fears persist. EUR/GBP touched a fresh day's low at 0.8796 in recent trade and currently is trading barely above 0.8800, 0.34% lower since opening.

They are thinking buy on a dip...... If I were not in this already on the left side of the hedge. I think this would be a great place to sell on a fail of 198.50
On the monthly chart there should be some resistance there, also the bollinger band crossed the market. This may point to an over bought market from the correction. This would be a good explaination for the High for the weeks closing, it was a temp correction. Follow open market closing to see the direction of the market.

If it goes up even 25 pips... It should continue in the up move...


Marked at 196.50

I see this board has yet to find it's place on I-Hub...

This book is a good starting place:

The Beast is interesting...the Beast is dangerous! I've only been toying with a practice account, and hadn't even looked at GBP/JPY. It's a crazy animal. I'm intrigued to look at it more!

Long at 204? Might be almost time for reversal!

Welcome to The Beast!

I am Dr. Wonderful and have been trading Forex for several years, and am ready to tackle this monster.
