Though a member of ET informed me (a couple of years ago) that there is no such thing as statistical support and resistance, I continue to use this concept (i.e., price ranges) even now, more-or-less successfully in my view.
That said, starting today I am likely to begin referring to another concept which I'm sure any number of more knowledgeable and experienced traders would tell me does not exist, and this is the idea of "temporal support and resistance."
In other words, not only do I believe there is a certain amount of
distance beyond which exchange rates will typically resist separating themselves from key baselines/moving averages, it seems to me I have also observed that there is a certain amount of
time beyond which exchange rates will typically resist advancing without deviation in one particular direction. Such limitations are what I am going to be calling
temporal support and resistance.
And though CADJPY looks like it might be on the threshold of crossing over from bullish to bearish, it has also hit both the first and second (or primary and secondary) levels of "temporal support" on a newly configured four-hour NPP "secret sauce" chart I plan to begin experimenting with this week.
Moreover, I calculate major statistical support to currently be at 79.34. So, bearish or not, I will be waiting for an opportunity to buy the pair somewhere between that level and were it is now at 80.77 should I happen to observe signs of its (temporarily) turning north this week.
(P.S. I pasted the above image simply as a visual to make it easier for me to find this particular post should I wish to return to it at some point in the future.)
