10/7 Forex

  • Cable turns to bull phase against the U.S. dollar (GBP/USD).
  • U.S. Dollar down 1.1% intra-day against the Japanese yen, bumps against lower monthly pivot (USD/JPY).
  • Should the headline just say, "U.S. dollar turns to bear phase against the Universe"??? (USD/Everything)

The GBP/USD signal comes after five U.S. market days in bear phase that carried the price up by 0.6%. Some bear phase.

 In the longer run, the pair has been marking time between about US$1.42 and $1.70 since mid 2009. The most recent leg up began in May and peaked in August, and since then GBP/USD has been forming an extended top with US$1.60 as the upper limit and the 200-day moving average (now at $1.54) as the lower limit.

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.
