Comments made during a speech by European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet triggered a lower low for the EUR/USD during the first hour of today's New York session. Although the pullback did provide a logical entry point for a short trade, the euro failed to extend lower on a day devoid of major U.S. news. The yen crosses, mostly mixed through the first half of the session, surged lower across the board as equity markets sold off following a new record high in oil prices. Traders who took a short trade entry on the GBP/JPY at the re-test of European session lows, then saw a classic two-speed move -- price first riding the Bollinger Band, then riding the 5 ema. Those who took profit at today's M1 pivot point netted about 140 pips.
