USD/JPY Bullish Breakout above Bull Flag Pattern at 110

USD/JPY

4 hour

Yesterday the USD/JPY broke as expected above the 110 resistance (dotted red) of the bull flag chart pattern. Price has continued with its bullish extension in wave 3 (brown) and has now arrived at the 261.8% Fibonacci target which could create a potential retracement.

The USD/JPY breakout above resistance (dotted red) has reached a main Fibonacci target and is therefore at a bounce or break spot.

EUR/USD

4 hour

The EUR/USD broke above the resistance trend line (dotted red) and has hit the first target at 1.0950. The second target is the psychological round level of 1.10. A break above that could see the EUR/USD extend towards the 78.6% Fibonacci level of wave 2 (green).

1 hour

The EUR/USD bullish breakout confirmed that the expected wave 4 and 5 (pink) were correct. Price is now stopping at 1.0950 but a new breakout above the trend lines (dark red) could see price challenge 1.10, which is a new resistance level and a bounce or break spot. Bears could probably better wait for price to break below the support trend line (blue).

GBP/USD

4 hour

The GBP/USD bull flag chart pattern (red/blue lines) remains intact as long as price stays in between those levels. A break above resistance (red) could see price challenge the next Fibonacci level whereas a break below support (blue) could find a bounce at 1.27 support.

1 hour

The GBP/USD has respected the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level but a break below the 61.8% Fibonacci level invalidates wave 4 (purple). A break above the bull flag (red) could see a wave 5 (purple) develop.
