The pair rejected the post BOJ levels and is facing critical support at 110.19.

a failure to close below 110.2 on the daily chart is not good for sellers

i think we will have a big move to the upside on Friday if the U.S data is good, we still have some housing data earlier though and it could support the pair

if you placed a limit order there, where would you place your stop? the guys on the other side of retailers trades have a saying, that we are so predictable the stop is always just above or below. thats there target, our stops. its their favorite way to make money. just something to consider when looking at charts and p.a.

Down to 109.5. Been a hell of a day so far. Just over a 90 pip drop since the start of the asian session. Going long from here. Might have to hold my positions for a day or so, but at least the swap is in my favor.

How to get "screwed" often ... going against the trend. Which I see many around here do time and again.

Note this is not being pointed out to anyone in particular and I have said this numerous times in the past. So take it for what its worth.

The "trend" started around 113.38. A drop of nearly 400 pips on a slow moving pair like the USD/JPY is pretty big sign for a reversal. Maybe not a big reversal, but it's showing signs of bouncing back to an area around 110.400. If it drops further, then 109.880 would be the next target exit for a quick long.

I prefer quick shorts ... with the trend. And let others look for reversals.

In order for me to enter a trade I need confirmation. It is a lot easier when you do that "going with the flow" most of the time in an elliott wave 1, 3 or 5.

We each have our own methods to this madness. I've found price returns to the same areas over and over again, while using a mishmash of volume spread analysis and RSI to help gauge when a movement is exhausted. This pair is entering uncharted territory for me, so I'm pyramiding so much that whomever the poor person is that has to audit my taxes next year is going to hate forex traders, but like I said, at least this time with longs the swap is on my side. As long as you control your risk, and use the right lot sizes, even counter trend trading can be profitable. You just can't be too greedy with it or it'll bite you in the arse hard.

Most trend changes start with stop hunts though. Like I said in my previous post, maybe not a long-term change, but something you can snag a few quick bucks going long on. Some big volumes happened about 20 minutes ago on the 1M chart.

Probably another new LOD soon.

While on the other hand new all time highs expected on NY open for equities.
