S&P downgraded Spain to B last night and for some bizarre reason the market was surprised. My long positions looked like crap this morning (AUD got within 2 pips of my stop & I got stopped out of some crude) but you can't keep a good market down and a sharp rally / sell off in USD underway.
Technically most markets either in congestion or have broken out to the 'risk-on' side.
James commented that USDJPY humped itself on the BoJ news last night. It did but its also a messy retest of the broken bear flag for more downside. 4hr chart USDJPY
AUDUSD headed for 1.0435 pivot next. A close above1.04513 confirms the bottom and projects a targets of 1.0595 & 1.0670
NZDUSD is setting up 4th inside day in a row (Krabel fans will be watching). Whilst I really like it back to the pivot at 7975 if the broader market is rallying 'risk on' then its just going to stay in this range
