The preceding bear phase on EUR/JPY carried the price down 5.5% beginning Aug. 10. The Bank of Japan met in an emergency meeting on Monday that was intended to take steps a weaken the yen, a good thing for business in an export-oriented country like Japan.
The yen strengthened in anticipation -- the bull signal -- and then today weakend in disappointment over the actions that were actually taken. All in all, the price action has pretty much been a wash, Monday's decline retracing Friday's rise.
The preceding bull phase on the USD/CAD pair carried the price up 1.8% in five trading days.
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.
