EURUSD lower as EURJPY falls

Posted: 12 Apr 2013 12:35 AM PDT

I said earlier at 130.26 that EURJPY looked like it wanted to come lower.

130.00 buy orders now exhausted but the 129.75 demand holding up the move at the moment. more buyers at 129.50 which if breached might just give some longs the jitters

EURUSD has been pulled lower to 1.3067 taking out the good demand I mentioned between 1.3070-80, but it’s still a coin flip here

Austrian fin min says they will maintain bank secrecy laws

EURJPY: Looking to come lower but buyers at 130.00

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:47 PM PDT

This pair is under a little pressure, relatively speaking of course, and appears to want to come lower.

I was talking to Mr Horton earlier and he sent me this suggesting we may have seen a top for now.

I’m hearing of good size buying interest at 130.00 and smaller at 129.75 but with USDJPY failing to break 100 maybe we’re entering into a new phase.

Cable buyers here at 1.5380

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:40 PM PDT

Hearing of good demand at this level ( 1.5380) with stops below if breached.. more buyers at 1.5360 and 1.5340. larger at 1.5280

Sell orders at 1.5410, 1.5425 and larger at 1.5450

EURUSD: buying interest at 1.3080

Posted: 11 Apr 2013 11:34 PM PDT

Hearing some good size buy orders between 1.3070-80 and then smaller interest at 1.3050 and 1.3020.

Sell orders at 1.3130,1.3160 then larger at 1.3200
