In the kickstart FX video for January 10, 2024, I take a look at the 3 major currency pairs including the EURUSD, USDJPY and GBPUSD. The EURUSD and the GBPUSD buyers are trying to take more control in what has been an up-and-down trading week so far. The USDJPY is up for the 2nd consecutive day as the market reacts to tame wage data released overnight.
The video brings together the technicals that are in play, and what needs to be done to either increase the bullish bias or tilt the bias back to the downside for these 3 currency pairs.
