Today's Outlook

Patient EUR Event Day

French CPI (MoM) and French HICP (MoM) share 07:45 UK; EUR Industrial Production (MoM) is at 10:00 and Euro Summit at 11:00. Require clear EUR/JPY highs and lows from London price action; avoid chasing the first sharp change around each EUR event.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low on EUR/JPY. Enter only after a candle on the 1-hour chart closes clearly beyond either price.

Alternative scenario

If

Sharp EUR/JPY price changes continue beyond 11:20 UK following the Euro Summit scheduled for 11:00 UK.

Then

Remove the 11:20-16:00 UK trading window and wait until EUR/JPY forms a clear high and low.

Guidance — not a prediction. Today's plan may need to be reassessed if this trigger materialises.

    Do not add to a EUR/JPY trade merely because price moves quickly.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Preserve capital if EUR/JPY fails to form clear highs and lows.
