Weekly Watch: May 14 to 18, 2012

First up, a shout out to Manchester City and the two LA teams! Man City clinched the EPL title with two goals in stoppage time from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero!

Meanwhile, in the NBA, the Lakers and Clippers gutted out game 7 victories in their respective series, which means both teams will be advancing to the second round for the first time EVER! That's how you come through in the clutch!

And now, on to the charts! Last week the bears were in control, with EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY, and EUR/GBP all setting new lows. Will we see more of the same this week or is a reversal in the cards?

EUR/JPY

That gapped filled and held last week, giving me a pretty sweet victory in my short EUR/JPY setup. The question for this week though is whether or not the 103.00 handle will hold. If we see a solid candle close below the previous week low (PWL), it may signal that we're in for another bearish move. On the flip side, I'll be keeping my eye again on the previous week high (PWH), which also lines up with the top weekly ATR (WATR), as we could see interest at this area.

  • WO:103.23
  • Top WATR: 104.47
  • Bottom WATR: 101.99
  • PWH: 104.43
  • PWL: 102.76

GBP/JPY

GBP/JPY Hourly Chart

I'll be honest, this looks like a really ugly chart. But I still think there's potential to make some pips. Right now, it appears that an inverse head and shoulders formation is in the works, with the shoulders finding support at the 128.50 MiPs and the head at the 128.00 MaPs. For now, I'll be waiting for a break above 129.00 and possibly above the PWH before establishing a long position.

  • WO:128.48
  • Top WATR: 129.79
  • Bottom WATR: 127.18
  • PWH: 129.58
  • PWL: 127.83

EUR/GBP

Just one look at the chart and I'm sure you can tell what I'm focusing in on. See it? That's right - the .8000 handle! After bouncing right off the major psychological handle, I think we could see a lot of interest at that level again this week. Of course, some nice reversal candlesticks right at the support level would be nice before I click the buy button on this pair!

  • WO:.8034
  • Top WATR: .8088
  • Bottom WATR: .7981
  • PWH: .8078
  • PWL: .7996
