News over Technical?

Filed under: Optionslam Technical Analysis — Tags: , — g3song @ 1:13 pm

Before today’s non-farm payroll update, Usd/Jpy 4h chart is showing a clear MACD divergence.

The up trend weakness is confirmed by MACD last night.

We have been waiting for a short signal since. Either 4h price drop below the fast MA line or 4h price to test the Gann line.

Fortunately, none of the technical indicators has triggered a short entry.

As you can see, after news, Usd/Jpy reconfirmed it’s up trend, as least for a short while.

One thing worth mentioning is the Ichimoku system. During this uptrend, we have yet to see the price test Kijun-sen line, let alone to break it.

Personally, I found consolidate different templates is a must. Different view and confirmation is really necessary to trigger a real trade.

2.4h a small pin bar fail to break Gann line + next bar break the non-lagging ma and confirm downtrend.

Still holding and plan to close when price rejoin ma.
