USD/JPY
After approaching the bottom of December, the price has recovered quite strongly, but the down-gap this morning erased those profits. We still keep the old strategy, which is to keep watching and waiting for more signals. We should not place orders too early at this important price zone. If the price creates a bear trap, short-term reversal traders can consider buying up. If the price breaks down to 102.8, trend traders can continue with the short orders to the 102.4 price range.
EUR/USD
The trend trading strategy after the breakout was unsuccessful. The price created a bull trap around the 1.227 zone. The strong decline in the last session of the year created a set of extremely strong bearish engulfing candles on the daily chart. Therefore, in the short term, it is likely that price will move in the direction of this candlestick set. Anyone who had a buy order before should consider exiting the order early and waiting for the price to return to the 1.215 zone. Then, we'll watch the price action to make our decision.
GBP/USD
The 1.363 price zone has been broken, and we must abandon short term selling strategy. Currently, there appeared a set of spinning top and doji candlestick patterns after the breakout, reflecting the hesitation of the market. However, these are too weak reversal signals. In the event that they are invalidated, it is likely that the price will continue to go up. Overall, GBPUSD does not have clear opportunities. We should keep observing and avoid trading for now.
USD/CAD
After being rejected around the 1,270 price zone, the price created a dragonfly doji on the daily chart. This was supposed to be a bullish signal, but this morning's down-gap invalidated the pattern and is suggesting a continuation of the downtrend. In the first session of the week, we will pay attention to the area at 1.270. If it is broken, short orders following the trend can be considered.
AUD/USD
The price went up another beat and approached the upper boundary of the rising channel and then adjusted down as expected. We currently have a bearish engulfing pattern on the H4 chart and bearish pin bar on the daily chart. Therefore, in the short-term, prices will continue to decrease. The target could be set around 0.764. Whether to return to the trend or continue to wait will depend on the price action around this zone.
