ADVISORY: As Tactical Trader/ Investors
Awareness of risk events that can change market conditions before and after release of certain data is widely expected. In such cases, the main responsibility of looking forward towards price swings can be anticipated with a certain degree based on previous price levels and the process of deduction. Money flows as investors shifts, go where the trend flows so when time comes that it does change directions, then there will be ample time to make changes even on real time.
Although, the practice of forward looking should be done more often, while the use of a back-testing system can be limited only as a reference guide. Closely monitoring price action and market behavior as a basis can be more effective even before any price move occurs.
Yes, we know its easier said than done. Due diligence can only help build that trading confidence and consistency especially noting all trades in a journal for further reference when called upon.

EURJPY Cross VALIDATED as of 01.29.16 Asia Session
Japan CPI data provided speculation on BOJ easing which pushed USDJPY high @121.40 level, and spilled-over to the EURJPY Cross rate @132.26 high in the Asian trading session. This has led to the BOJ rate cut into a negative 0.1%.

With the price break above the 118.80 equivalent USDJPY after the release of the CPI data and the sustaining levels with the EURUSD above the 1.0880 -1.0910 fueled by weight on more speculative actions by trades for more probable BOJ easing which added to the rapid price swing and pullback during the Asian session. Closing price levels for the week is closely monitored. As these price movements is a glimpse of the market's direction that would set the pace at the start of the new month's activity.

CCY Corner: EURJPY CROSS RATE Comparative Analysis
With that
out of the way, the EURJPY cross correlated to the Japanese Yen's price movement have likewise shown some relative support zone @125.85 low and a price recovery
currently @128.47 marks a correlated Yen weakness compared with the USD
maintaining strength well supported not only by its price, but by some
encouraging figures from housing prices data and US Consumer Confidence #'s. The
USD direction would have some momentum and increase volatility by the next GDP
data for the week.
The price
action pullback of the EURJPY from its 125.80 low can no be a confirmation of
its benchmark support. Quite a significant move and a divergent comparison with
the EURO is well justified. Marking the low price of the EURUSD @1.0580 as the
first bottom price based on the current chart. However, the current
configuration of the EURUSD well within a descending channel from it high
@1.1048 price zone was a result of the ECB disappointing the market of its
inaction on rates.

A Matter of Perspective Analysis
Two Leonardos' in one Applied Analysis RAISE the BAR of TRADING CONFIDENCE |
Yes, prices were technically oversold but a few percentage point recovery will not cut it. Use price levels as reference points while going beyond price action analysis can do more good in timing a trade more than ever. This is where the underlying time and price correlation takes place within the three major markets price movements are equally as important to take note of. "CORRELATION" is the key component in these market conditions now. It is a matter of perspective to differentiate technical and fundamental analysis combined with Price Action and Market Behavior. Trading these markets is a "NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL'.
Here is a good reference presented. Just take the finer price points!

BRIEF: Market Insight Before ECB
As the market prepares for ECB Mario Draghi's much awaited remarks in the European markets for the ECB rate decision. While in the Asian session heading towards the major session in Europe and the US have turned again into bear territory after starting off with a relief recovery.
New Lows not only in the DOW & SP500 and the other global indices; the currency market has indeed came through with CABLE marking three consecutive new lows with the latest @1.4125. Meanwhile, its correlated EURGBP Cross rates have also marked its new High @0.7755 before making a pullback @0.7650 reflecting some profit taking for the day. This has been an effective well worth the risk analysis which we have made to this date. But a cautious play should be observe as the ECB rate is on hand. However, its the remarks of Mario Draghi that may trigger a different tone moving forward.
BTW - These exceptional moves and market conditions are best approached going beyond charting systems and price action analysis. 'Secular Market Forces' have been present for some time now from our countless information sharing emphasizing due diligence on market behavior. Tools of technical trades are effective but not as effective during these kind of market movements. Take the extra caution in trading the market. Only the best for your trades!

SP500 V SP SH Flip-side of the Coin
SP500 bound to test Oct starting point as initial first line of defense that may create a 'Hysteria Market' as the Asia global shares have made. As percentage declines spread over time since October 2015 to January 2016 have weighed a top heavy on a tech perspective. This is were fundamental forces have been dominant in the market's behavior
@MegaTrade101 SP500 v SH is a Flip-Side of the coin; unorthodox approach yet quite effective at times and out of the ordinary. And this approach be be classified as looking at the charts in a different perspective from the traditional way of technical analysis
Cautious as it may seem for traders not willing or simply unable to do anything now as the negative contagion on stocks and Oil other than China. JPN225 have now been included in the decline during the Asian trading session.

UPDATE: Comparative Analysis 2 #DOW & #USD INDEX
CCY Corner: Divergent Trend on EURO & CABLE 2
The aftermath on the stock market rebound is still seen as a relief price recovery of the market after several declines were seen. Which was obviously felt by investors in the first two weeks of trading for 2016. This has given some headway for the currency market to make its own moves as prices continue its trend movements today.
Therefore choosing the 'Right Currency Cross rate' was made based on the divergent trend of price and market behavior of the two pairs that led to combination them into one trade with a fairly larger exposure. However this trade is well defined into its process and has a limited time frame based on the price comparison / directional difference including the market's behavior and price change.

CCY Corner: On EURO CABLE & Cross Rates
With the disappointing data in UK, we've seen CABLE making another new low (3rd of a series) which built up the momentum & declined to its price objective @1.4350 levels before pulling back up on the close of the US session @1.4445. For now, the 1.4350 has been marked as a good initial support level for GBPUSD.
An expected relief price recovery is expected while Asia session today have seen CABLE trading @1.4490. The decline effectively flowed to the correlated EURGBP Cross where it made a brief session high @0.7554 that likewise made a similar pullback to its current price @0.7480 to this writing.

Volatility Translates to a 'MAKE or BREAK' Trade
Traders and investors would have to deal with two important trading issues taking place. One is the market price volatility that changes unexpectedly when one least expects. That in turn gives not a lot of traders the level of confidence and increases the degree of trading difficulty in the market.
Secondly, with the increase in price volatility price movements equates to wider trading range in both directions. Thus making it more difficult to find timely execution of trade position. Superior positioning may well be disguised in non-active price action between trading session in the three major markets. But the traps of price pullbacks and resumption of original price trend may take the unsuspecting trader flatfooted.

Being a step ahead of the market can be fortunate especially when external forces comes on the right side of your trades. Although, it does not happen all the time!
Stretching the USD Rate Vs. PHP
OFWs should at least consider checking the graph tor the USD Direction versus the Philippine Peso Exchange rate. Expect some room for a USD initial pullback but eventually would continue to improve as the rate would likely resume to the upside. Stretching the rate can be great in planning your investment and prospective projects ahead relative to the exchange rate value. Far better than stocks as of now and stay liquid with cash on hand.

UPDATE: CFDs US DOW30 & SH SP500
@megatrade101, we can't do much more than to simply emphasize that whenever there are exceptional times like these market movements, HEDGING STRATEGY becomes a necessity to simply protect and provide a layer of cushion for investment funds exposed in the market. Likewise, it can create a sustaining strategy to preserve wealth and manage risk as the market trend at the beginning of the year is No Joke! And this is more for ASIAN Investors / traders in particular. As prices move lower their jaws drop in amazement and awe!
That is also why we have released an earlier market outlook, though it may be a "Brief Insight for the 1st Quarter of 2016; it was a primary signal that new highs and lows can be reflected of the first week's trading activity. And the fundamentals were the catalyst to provide the fuel for the current market conditions.
