CHF/JPY
This pair will be analyzed briefly. For more information, read the article Weekly Review Strategy, Week 20, where the pair was tipped for going long. The pair found the uptrend again in week 18 after a strong pullback in March and April. The pair found support around the 23,6% Fibo level measured from the low of January 14th at 114,079 and the high of the day after at 138,870. The pair offered a good opportunity in week 19 and (pending) orders have been opened for this pair. The CHF is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and has a currency score of 6. The JPY is a weak currency and has a currency score of 1 for several weeks. With a Currency score difference of 5 and the CHF better classified, it is an interesting pair.
- On the weekly (decision) chart, the indicators are looking strong for going long.
- In the weekly chart, the Ichimoku is meeting all the conditions.
- The MACD is in positive area and the histogram is showing increase of momentum.
- The Parabolic SAR is long and showing the preferred pattern of higher stop loss on opening of new long and short positions.
Although the pair is showing strength in the Weekly chart, it is consolidating in the Daily and 4 Hour chart. The Ranking and Rating list shows a rank of only 27. If the pair reverses, it will be most probably of a temporary nature. A stop loss has been placed on the open position, as usual, just in case of a stronger pullback.

Weekly Currency score: Down
Based on the currency score, the pair looked interesting in the last 3 months. The GBP is a strong currency from a longer term perspective and although the score was very low in March, it seems, based on the different TA charts, as if the currency will remain in the coming period at the right level. The EUR is a weak currency from a longer term perspective and had in the last weeks a strong pullback. It seems that the pullback is over and this offers an opportunity. With currently a Score difference of 5 and the GBP being better classified, it is an interesting pair for taking positions in the coming week.
