bat pattern fails to deliver an extended short

29 gen 2017

On a fundamental basis, the US economy has shown relative strength to its developed peers. Specifically, in the comparison vs Japan, US GDP has shown a growth of 1.9% vs the last reported number for Japan of -0.3%, confirming long term trend of weakness of yen vs us dollar and the uptrend of USDJPY.
Technically we seem to be on a consolidation area, exasperated by a disappointing GDP number on Friday, although it failed to signal a trend reversal even when when a bat pattern was signaled.

Possible longs at 115.40 and new shorts at 114.704.
