Today's Outlook

Patient Confirmation Day

EUR events ECB's Lane Speaks at 02:30 UK and ECB's Elderson Speaks at 07:00 UK can cause sharp EUR/JPY movement. Let London show clear price behaviour after 08:00 UK, and avoid treating the first fast move as a trade signal.

Today's Guidance

Mark the Asian session high and low. Wait for a candle on the 1-hour chart to close beyond either boundary before entering beyond it.

Today's guidance illustration

Alternative scenario

If

ECB's Elderson Speaks at 07:00 UK is followed by wide EUR/JPY candles continuing beyond 07:15 UK.

Then

Replace the good and best windows with observation only until EUR/JPY candles become smaller and steadier.

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

Today's Trading Checklist

Run through every step below before placing a trade today.

Statuses update automatically as today's plan and trading windows progress. They show when each point is most relevant — you still confirm the trading conditions on the chart.

  1. Step 01Plan closed

    Keep EUR/JPY risk balanced because the evidence provides no directional view.

  2. Step 02Plan closed

    Use the Daily and 4-hour charts for context before choosing entries on the 1-hour chart.

  3. Step 03Plan closed

    Treat repeated turns from the Asian session boundaries differently from a clear candle close beyond them.
