Well, looks like we have our 4hr FOMC channel. 146.15 to 149.15. If it bounces off the same area, I will buy back up. and see what this thursday 9-10pm shows us. If it starts down on Thur. my 141 touch will get blown. October 31st is on my radar as another big dump day.

I am selling, target 146.5
Buying slowly again to 148.
This is a long term sell and forget level. Reminds me of 80 level with lots of BOJ interventions at that time and see where we are today Only idiots of speculators buy at current price levels!

Nothing is certain in the market. If it failed at 80, it is not certain that it will fail again. The speculators who bought yen at 151 just before the intervention made lots of profit. The yen sellers got wrecked.

Sentiments are slightly changing but not so fast. China is selling USD too buying their currency, UK politics is stabilising, EU buying oil in cooperation with other EU members and most of all US consumer confidence is down. Still selling yen for now, I dont think they will change their monetary policy on Friday (could be wrong of course). US will still raise rate on Nov and Dec. Next year will probably the true pivot and reversal.

Bullish? No... Sideways? Yes. Then bearish for a few weeks.

Sometimes the most obvious place on the charts to buy is also the best place to buy. We'll see if this ends up being one of those. Short term trade, immediate target 147.8. S/L 146.16

First sell signal for a long time, no guarantee

What are you doing with that TE?

Or maybe, why TE?

Stopped out and got back in for now. Dxy likely due for a correction at some point around these levels. Will continue to watch both U/J and dxy closely.

Edit: Out for now. It's not ready yet. Will look for potential re-entries below or after some consolidation.

I will keep mine for now (small positions). There might be another spike to enter at 145.5. They are talking about stimulus to be announce tomorrow.

just my two cents...

I stop trading JPY not because of the intervention, but because Russia started missile drills -- missiles that can carry nukes. If Putin launches one for real, even a small limited powered one, which would mess up the market pretty badly. I think JPY gets mighty strong in a second the news comes in. And I wouldn't be surprised if the spike is huge like Swiss Franc shock in 2015. Stop Loss may not work against that kind of surge.

Of course I stop taking a long position in xxxUSD, too because USD is likely to get strong if that happens.

Oh, well call me crazy. But anything can happen these days....

Ended up going short when it retested the 146.3 area. Rode it down to around 145.6, so made my money back plus a bit more after the s/l. Decided to go long right above the previous low from earlier this week (around 145.52). After it broke through that previous low I went short again with a smaller position. I don't fully trust that this isn't just stop hunting by the MMs so I don't want a large position at these levels. I know my trading here is all over the place here, but I'm in the green right now so no regrets..

Edit: Exited that last short with the first new hh on 15 minute candle for tiny profit. Will considering shorting again at the turn of the hour (depending on how it's behaving).
Out at BE for now. Buy order in case it hits 144.2 again. Happy trading everyone.
Went to sleep so I put a sl on my long.. blew it. Getting back in. Waiting on another 15m correction to do so. Not going far though IMO. 148 area target. A lot of news is out today, so be careful out there. Small lots. Until confirmation, then wait for retests. Tonight starts the countdown to the FOMC announcement. Coincidentally JPY has news out. One last order fill before the dip to the lower 40's / upper 30's. One last psych out. IMO

This is interesting news. Thank you! Here's what can happen if that occurs and oil losses it's grip.
