Hi Cesar,

I have a question for you. I believe most of the GBP/JPY movements is due to carry traders coming in and out of the market, and this is of course due to the high interest rate on GBP/JPY, then why Gold/USD is going up for years now, in spite of the great interest rate when you short that pair?
I'm not familiar with the drivers behind Gold. Know it's one safe place to run away from risk, only.

From this article it looks like the ECB is going to raise rates while the BoJ is going to keep them level. This is carry trade positive right? Longterm implications being that the EJ will rise?

This "164 barrier" is constant in the chatters. Increasing in intesity as days go by...

122 barrier reported in UJ...

GJ expected to follow suit, hopefully.

Just FYI

06:49 164 barrier in EUR/JPY been most impressive we've seen in quite some time..Usually all the "barrier" business is mostly talk but not in this instance

If these levels don't get broken soon, I'd expect a fairly sizeable unwind in carries followed by a reaffirmed upswing to the same levels.

There's just too much money to be made through volatility for this sideways trading to continue for too long before something gives.

You gotta a point... But there has been several hours with poor change in the carries scenario, just a quick dip in UJ during the Asian session...

Market seems on hold, collecting interest as long as conditions stay stable: no harsh rumors, stocks sound and safe, China shaking but not spooking and all...

You're absolutely right, but that 'on hold' appearance hasn't just been for the last few hours... it extends right back through the past couple of weeks for GBP/JPY and even longer for the other yen crosses. Sure there have been a few dips that have been met with almost instantaneous buy support right back to the same levels it was at pre-dip, but for the most part the action has been sideways.

Honestly, I really want to short all three pairs right now but I don't want to swallow the huge negative swap rate for a long period of time if this period of inactivity continues to drag out. Instead, I continue to sell dips as my signals are triggered then close those trades for my combined couple hundred pips per run and then buy back into the carry trades on support. It has been quite a profitable period for me but I really do think that the longer this goes on, the less and less buy support we will see to combat the pressure to the downside and we could easily see a slide comparable to that which occurred in February. I'm not advising traders to avoid going long on these pairs at the moment because carry conditions are obviously so favourable, but I would suggest doing so with caution and with careful money management strategies in case you do manage to get caught in the almost inevitable avalanche that is building.

You're right... But I'm long all yen pairs at Friday's bottom area, so safe here. In case of the avalanch I got sometime to vanish.

But as long as they don't fall, it is worth the waiting to see what those "big barries" hold for us.

I was looking back all the way to 2002 on the USD/YEN chart and noticed
basically everytime this year, price takes a mojor hit. Sometimes 200 pips, sometimes 400-500 pips.


Is there any explanation on why May-June price takes a serious dip.

Right now, we have caustious/conservative buys now TP at 122.

However, we have quite a few Buylimits set with sells stops going down from 120s to 118s.


Any comments, answers or reference is greatly appreciated!

We are now aproaching 239.99 the daily high from 1-30. Been a long time since we have been this high.

Could show serious resistance, but if broken could see more upward movement to the 241 area.
