The EUR/USD rise began July 1 with a powerful upward push that continued, pretty much unabated, until Tuesday's high. Overall, the bull phase gained 5.3%.

The next two are ghosting and so may not end the trading day as valid phase changes. However, if they do ....
GBP/USD's bull phase was much shorter and choppier, lasting only five market days and showing a two day rise followed by a one day fall and then range-trading. The bull phase produced a 0.6% rise.

EUR/JPY moved to bull phase on July 5. Altogether, the phase saw a gain of 2.4%

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.
