EURJPY Tests Key Support Area And Finds Some Profit Taking Buyers




105.78-91 is a key level for the EURJPY.
  • 105.918  is the 38.2% of the move up from the 2012 low
  • 105.78 is the 200 day MA

On Tuesday, the price fell below both these levels on the way to the weeks low at 105.43. However, momentum could not be sustained and the price rebounded (to 107.08 today).   The move out of risk today has pushed the EURJPY back to the downside support level.
The low today actually pushed below the key 200 day MA (low reached 105.735).  This should give sellers cause for pause on the failure.  As a result, I would expect to see profit taking buying on dips against the level now, with stops on a break of the lows at the 10573 level.   On a correction, I will be  eyeing resistance against the 106.115-106.232 area (see chart below)

MPs say Rupert Murdoch unfit to run company

Image
Rupert Murdoch is not fit to run a major international company, MPs said on Tuesday, finding him ultimately responsible for the illegal phone hacking that has corroded his global media empire and damaged the political establishment. But it split along party lines, with members from Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party voting against the report, saying they did not agree with its view that the Australian-born Murdoch was not fit to run a major company. Cameron is facing criticism ahead of local elections this week that he was too close to the media tycoon, who won government approval to take over British pay-TV operator BSkyB, before dropping the bid when the scandal broke. The report said there had been huge failures in corporate governance which raised questions about the competence of Rupert's 39-year-old son, James. "News International and its parent News Corporation exhibited wilful blindness, for which the companies' directors -includin

Clinton confronts dissident case ahead of China talks

Image
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in  China  on Wednesday for top-level talks that risk being upstaged by the fate of a blind dissident whose supporters say is under U.S. protection in Beijing after escaping house arrest. Washington has not even commented on the whereabouts of the dissident, legal activist Chen Guangcheng, whose plight has overshadowed the Strategic and Economic Dialogue due to begin on Thursday. The United States hopes the talks will encourage greater Chinese cooperation on trade as well over  Iran , Syria, North Korea and other international disputes. Chen's friends and supporters have said he is probably inside the fortress-like U.S. embassy in northeast Beijing. The official silence about his fate from both Washington and Beijing has shown their eagerness to contain friction over his case. Relations could easily go awry, especially with the ruling Communist Party wrestling with a leadership scandal and a looming power succession. "O

Facebook's IPO show to hit the road on May 7: source

Image
The roadshow for Facebook Inc's initial public offering is scheduled to start on Monday, meaning the company's shares should begin trading on May 18, a source familiar with the process said on Tuesday. Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who has mostly operated in the background during Facebook's closely watched journey to public markets, will be involved in the roadshow, another source said. Facebook declined to comment. Many on Wall Street had not expected Zuckerberg to turn up on the roadshow after he skipped a March analysts' meeting, ceding the stage to COO Sheryl Sandberg and CFO David Ebersman. His March absence irked some investors who were indignant that the CEO, while wielding near-absolute control over the eight-year-old firm, had snubbed Wall Street. IPO roadshows, in which company management presents its strategy to prospective investors, typically last one to two weeks. If the roadshow goes particularly well, shares sometimes start trading a
