  • Euro show bull signal against the dollar, ghosting to the bullside against the yen (EUR/USD, EUR/JPY).
  • Dollar drops sharply against the loonie, peso, but no signals.

The Person's Pivots reset at the beginning of each period, rather than using a trailing foruma. So this being the first day of September, the pivots have all reset. Happy Pivot Day!!

The EUR/USD bull signal came as the price drove up to the midline, US$1.29, then then pulled back. The preceding bear phase over 15 trading days produced a profitable 3.9% price decline.

The EUR/JPY pair is also up sharply, and USD/CAD and USD/MXN are down sharply. But there are no new signals.


The analysis uses the daily Person's Proprietary Signal, developed by John Person, and the monthly Person's Pivot, which he also developed.

These are black box signals -- the "proprietary" means that Mr. Person knows how they work under the hood, and I don't. But they have shown a fair degree of success in identifying good entry and exit points, and I find them useful.

On the glance, "pps open" means the price at the start of trading in the United States on the day the signal appeared.
