The US dollar was sold off vs. the majors this week. The Japanese Yen benefited hugely. Will this trend continue next week? I don’t know. The only thing I do know is that the markets are pretty mixed as of now. At this point in time the JPY, EUR and GBP are bullish against the Bucky. The only one saying “nah” is the AUD
The above scenario sketches what we will be heading into next week. Have a look at the studies below so you can use this as a benchmark. Remember to make notes of the levels where the direction of highest probability will change as it is most important to change your perspective as soon as the bias changes in order to stay ahead and trade with as little risk as possible
Although this was a great week, remember to stay disciplined and you will be rewarded

Something interesting on the YEN:
I see we had an inverted Head and Shoulders pattern in the JPY. The neckline at 90.42 has since been violated to the upside as the pattern signified. Possibly, price could make a move downwards and bounce on 90.42 to confirm the breakout. Keep and eye on that support as it it significant. The direction of highest probability is bullish in any case so I wouldn’t enter any shorts. I’d rather look for nice long entries
