FOREX VIDEO - London Session Review - September 16, 2009

Source: blogs.fxstreet.com

While we continued to short the (insert your favorite yen pair here) during the Pre-London and into early London sessions, we found ourselves reaching an important area of support on the USD/JPY not too long after the London open. Even though everything on the Yens looked to continue to the downside, this support was very close to the big psychological level of 90.00, along with a multitude of overlapping support (Long term 78.6 fib, trendline, S2 pivot, etc.) all being struck just after a major market open. While we did not expect any kind of instant reversal, there certainly were reasons to look for clues of profit taking around this support and possibly translate that into some short term longs on GBP/JPY. At least until we could find dynamic resistance to re short the thing. So in this video, I highlight how we took profit on our original short pre-London, longed off support using a higher low for entry, took profit around 50 pips and re shorted for 50 pips, only to long a 15m Higher Low again, and shoot for more pips to the upside. It was a difficult session to hold onto anything but if you were nimble the pips were there for the taking. FXBootcamp London Currency Coach- Christian Stephens
