There are many signals this morning so I'll keep the write-ups brief. The overall theme is the dollar strengthens broadly against all major currencies, which translates to bear phase on m ost pairs.
EUR/USD, bear: Price drops below the upper weekly pivot, prior bull phase lasted 26 U.S. market days for a 9.6% price rise.
AUD/USD, bear: Price below the upper pivot, prior bull phase lasted 37 market days for an 11.6% price rise.
USD/CAD, bull: See the write-up in Monday's Forex.
GBP/USD, bear: Below upper pivot, prior bull phase lasted three market days for a 0.2% price decline -- basically, a wash. GBP/USD has whipsawed four times in eight U.S. market days. I'd be nervous about trading this until I see a trend established.
USD/CHF, bull: Price has pierced the lower pivot, rising strongly toward the midline. The prior bear phase lasted 20 market days for a 4.5% price decline.
NZD/USD, bear: Price today is straddling the upper pivot level. Prior bull phase lasted 20 market days for a 3.3% price rise.
AUD/JPY, bear: Not a dollar trade! Price dropping to near the midline, prior bull phase lasted 14 market days for 0.9% price decline. Not a pair I would trade at this point until a downtrend is more clarly established.
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.
I also refer to the Heikin-Ashia trend or candlestick. The Heikin-Ashi averages six days for high, low, open and close, signalling uptrend if the close is in the upper half of the range and downtrend if it is in the lower half. The signal for opening and closing positions require confirmation through a turn in the 8-day exponential moving average.
