Guys, what's your take on USDJPY right now. Looks like a clean divergence in H4 and also in M15, Fibo ret just hit 61.8. (pic below)
I think we can safetly expect a down trend now.

No divergence to me. Hit 61.8% and had small reaction though. But fib retracement by itself and even with divergence still needs more confirming factors such as other fib price levels/time/pattern.

COGS, I love your charts, thank you for sharing!

I have two questions.

#1) How many pairs/instruments do you follow?

#2) What is your default time frame when watching charts? Do you normally leave your charts on the 1H unless things get interesting and then you drill down? Do you have another time frame you default to?

Thank you!

bad idea to look at low time frame charts and believe in fib lines, that is how people lose lots of money on this forum and then never come back to Forex

trend is still bullish unless under 108.5

Bad idea to give general advice. To each their own what works and doesn't regarding fibs and short time frames. Fractals are on all time frames.

As one of those sitting out here reading and learning, the "bad idea" is to take any single statement without a tub of salt. Trust but verify it works for oneself.

That being said, this learner thanks all for the information provided. Okay, back to skulking in the shadows...

Like my charts, you do, see something you must.

Watch many pairs, trade very few, USDJPY, EURUSD, GOLD. Important ones I follow 3-month treasuries (investing.com), DXY, OIL.

Default timeframe, how can you pick just one? Each chart shows the same thing, zoom out, look at the whole market, I do. Zoom back in looking at the 1 min chart you see the markets reaction.

Important patterns, wedges, flags, pennants ( https://www.mql5.com/en/code/13704). This code does very simple timeframes, but the idea still stands strong using the linear regression of the market. The markets reaction with regards to linear regression, is very strong. But not this linear MA or the linear lines that float around, highs/lows based on really data, the market uses.

Also to add, trade many directions with many timeframes, big small all sizes.

Yes, I very much appreciate the wisdom you share from your charts. Other new guys, take note and ask questions, lots of great advice from some senior fellows in this thread.

USD/JPY started the new week trading within tight range above 109.00. It seems that the pair is awaiting Fed to set direction.

I saw Israel bombed a Iranian base in Syria overnight and killed like 26 people. I am not sure if all that was confirmed or not. Did something else happen? This whole situation with Russia and potentially China backing Russia could be the biggest story of our lifetime.

I read that too.

Last month I read Israeli news that Israeli were testing their brand new F35 within Iranian air space

Unfortunately fake news CNN likes to talk only about Mueller,Cohen,Comey and other legal mumbo jumbo.Why legal? no one really understands legal.

They are trying to sell to that they will get Trump impeached and give hope to the Trump haters. Maybe they will. None of it matters if Israel attacks Iran and Iran responds or worse yet Russia backs Iran and/or Syria and world war 3 breaks out.

Huge news event that could impact all of us in our personal day to day lives, while Mueller, Comey, Cohen is gossip crap.
