The Swamp

I got week day 12h 6h closes below 0700x and 0695. This has me bearish. PA is currently above these. So I could be wrong. If it starts to close above. 0711 and/or 0713 have a small attraction. A larger one at 0768 is smaller than 0695. When pa closed last week below 0695 I figured it was not needed. Tuesday's close is a larger month close. After 3 weeks of closes below 0695. The month one can still have a different vote.

Any running short has to sustain pa closes below 0678 support. Starting with 0700 0695.

I ignored the LC above 0778 Friday. When pa closed below 0695. I figured it was still bearish. It closed above 0690 bull side. Today the open was below 0690.

First I ignored the miss at 0678 close.
Second the close above 0690
Both signs of a sneaking bull. Atm pa is above 0695 and 0700. 4 total reasons to be mindful of the shorts. The week close below 0695 can be bearish. The month close is more powerful. PA just closed a 1h above 1.07. Bears and bulls may get bent over b4 Tuesday in the close whipping. I dont have any trades. I just closed a short -2 pips.
When/if it runs to some R. I may short for the possible attraction to 0680 in the mid morning U.S. session.

week that there is a small bomb that can generate a hecatomb, as long as it is not priced...

I opt atm for what Achilles did.
I could place pendings with tight stops. I dont want to. This is the first month that has a chance to close below 0695. It can prevail or fail.

Baby R at 0711.3.. Norm at 0713x
ATM high 0710x

Pa is running through these like nothing. Slow and sneaky.

Today is a holiday in Tokyo and that is why the BOJ is not operating in the market, letting the yen work. let's see what can happen tomorrow and maybe the dollar will suffer with the intervention

in my candle trading life. This 30 min would be bearish. It was close to 0711. I opted out.. It passed too easy through those r's

This second top on the 1 min if at 0711 I would of taken. This was at 0710. So I thought it may hit 11.So it was not one for me to take.It just was at the wrong place.

closer..

My high is 0711. I missed the trade. If one used 0711 as pending. One can tp for 4 pips.. The s/l was about 2 pips. That's 2 to 1 R/R. Or one could just figure they got on base, and hold for lower. 0680 Lc or whatever. Once at B.E. It's up to the individual.
If 0711.3 was hit i would be in.

a 1% spike in USDJPY in less than a minute...

I made my 5 pip donation today. BBL

Golden week. Low liquidity. Fat finger move

the volatility of the yen is like a bipolar...

I was a sleep. I think it will drop to 0680. But also 07002 can support, or resist. It didnt resist the run up. So it may not support down. The month close so far is running over levels. I dont know if its yen related

The 12h close was not below 1.07002. I came close to pulling the trigger to long. The attraction to 0680 stopped me. Not closing below 07002 may bounce it again.
PA is acting funny

I dont think price cares much about day levels.

PA looks like its attracted to 0767/68. It is a smaller attraction than 0695 was.
There is no denying 0695 did not stop it, after reaching. The slip should of ended. PA is above it and 07002 with a 12h close. 0756 should resist it, if runs there. If it dont resist, that's just the algo attraction power.
I lost 5 pips this week.. I can sit and see how things settle. Things are funny, meaning not normal. The midpoint 0768/0695 is about 0731. It looks like pa is being pulled day wise to 0680, or the algo at 0768. I can wait.
