“Don’t think these are the markets for heroics so if we can pick up 100 pips then we should be grateful,” said FXWW founder Sean Lee, adding: “I bought some AUD/JPY at this time yesterday below 87.00 and added today after the USD/INR reversal near 87.45. I’m looking to book at least some partial profits near short-term Fibo resistance at 88.20 and re-assess from there.”
