They have to intervene today or the effect will be less on monday and next week. But even a move of 500 pips would make no long uncomfortable due to interest rates (about 600 pips per year currently).

Nothing. No intervention. BOJ is crazy in my opinion. It was the best time to do it today. They missed it. If intervention is not coming today yen will go to the moon on monday. There is no reason anymore currently why Yen should go down (Us-Numbers ...

Closed 75% of the position (short, loss) - yen will go up to the moon - although it is already run 1000 pips. 500 pips more is possible. Damn. and the sentiment is still: image Omg... that happens once in 5 years on ...

I'm also pissed. There is no use anymore to be short at all. They said there stuff. Boring as always, nothing new. So why should anyone short that now? We already have a 1000 pip move up but the problem to other scenarios like that is: There is a ...

Yes, I mentioned that yesterday already. Crazy Central Bank. I short whenever I can currently.

BOJ most times intervene in the night, when volume is very thin. They would never dare to do it now (except no one is expecting it and they can land a hit lol).
- JackintheBox replied 15 hr ago
If you wonder why GBP/USD makes moves like normal 1 year ago: BOJ is preparing for this night. If you can afford it, don't sleep when rate decision comes out. I assume a massive move all over the board. USD/JPY is the key. You don't want to see my ...

It's currently like a mantra: USD rate cut, USD rate cut, USD rate cut and numbers say since months: No, folks. No matter what you write all the time. No. They are so afraid to push it down more (GBP/USD) because they think: NEXT numbers will show ...

LOL. I also don't know what they are doing. Was perfect to short the sh*t out of it now to new lows but nothing happens. I wonder what they do with all their shorts in the 1.23's area. First hammering the market like no good from 1.2460 to 1.2300 ...

They want the intervention for volatility...greedy b*stards

Yes, Ariana, I know exactly what you mean. My biggest losses were always with JPY pairs - but I learned to trade them now. You have to give them more room and only trade the best setups, not even think about same trading like EUR/USD ...

One more thing: Today is wednesday... so big role over on finance costs (interest rates are paid today, currently ~4.5% p.a.) so lots of people go even more long. Perfect setup for BOJ today after NY Close... on friday interest rates decision. ...
- JackintheBox replied 41 hr ago
Yes, that is also my opinion. I really wonder how it will play out. I know from past BOJ like to SELL even more Yen, so they join the rally also. They do that to gain more momentum when they finally intervene. That is very dangerous and I think no ...

Yes, some guys want to provoke BOJ even more... USD is in loop again, not getting out until BOJ finally pushes the button. No normal trading possible. I hate to speculate (I did that last trade but what should I do? I have to earn money).
- JackintheBox replied 41 hr ago
Expected intervention. Medium Position short, already closed. It would be fine if BOJ finally cracks the longs so we can go back to normal on ALL OTHER USD PAIRS (especially GBP/USD ) image

Spike on JPY up. any news? Shorted at 155.13, closed 154.98 and 154.95 (I expected line in the sand for BOJ is 155). But what was the cause?
- JackintheBox replied 44 hr ago
Markets are really calm. It is very worse. I think it is because of the USD/JPY issue. They really annoy the BOJ with attacking again and again. I think 155 on USD/JPY is the line in the sand for BOJ. I'm short on USD/JPY. The rest (GBP/USD etc.) is ...

Unfortunately the picture is not that clear from fundamental side. I hope the institutionals use the chance to get in cheap (here: high) and push it down again below old lows. At least they managed to get it deep enough not hitting 1.25 even today. ...
- JackintheBox replied Apr 23, 2024
Ouch... institutionals got hit badly with that numbers. 1.25 is in reach (again). Will be hard to defend to let GBP/USD drop again. I wonder if it will hold or backflip up. Some of them is in big trouble now (lots of shorts open from yesterday). I ...

Awesome day. Sold have now, just below 1.2340's area (first level which was missed reached). Next Target would be 1.2380. let's see. Cheers !
