Looks like I'm the odd man out. Short at 121.99.
Still holding the 121.90 area for the last 4 hours!

Man... I'm staying out until there's some real movement.
It's almost too sublime...

There is not much news on the Yen this week. So don't panic. Eventually it will go up. Whatever you do, keep your positions open.

I would also like to point out how important the 122 level is.

1. Round number
2. 09/07-10/07 upward correction, 50% fibonacci retracement
3. 03/06-22/06 downward correction, 23.6% fibonacci retracement
4. The 50 EMA is exactly on this level as a support

===> If the 122 support holds..... were in for a real winner to the upside!

These are based on a 4hour candle

The move up to 122.08 was a 50% retrace of the move from 7-13-07 at 122.59 down to 7-16-07 at 121.54.

We should see a test of the low areas of 121.67-54 for the bounce upwards.

The issue here on the expected move upwards is the move down from the high at 123.65 down to 120.95 having completed a 61.8% retrace at 122.62 on 7-13-07, and the move upwards now is just the retrace from that upwards 61.8% retracement.

We have a support level at 120.95, and the 121.54 area, this would be the 2 areas of a re-entry Long.

Almost accurate. 121.90's area for the last 2 sessions
high climb to a poor 121.08 for 3rd time in the last 2 sessions

10:22 $/JPY comes under pressure again as the pair dips back below 122.10 nt support lies around 121.90-95

Using Fib levels on Fractal points.. my readings are the same as monarch.

The 120.91-3 Level is the 1.618 extension of the further move down on H4. That could signal a completetion of the move... on the 4Hr strictly speaking of course.

For the Daily charts, the downmove extends to 120 (1.382) or 119.40 (1.618)
*added* that being said, there is a small support at 121.55 (61.8%), and breaking 121.40 could mean it might take a bit longer to recover.

On the whole, moving up is possible, but let's just say its "easier" to move down from the perspective on Technicals....

Chances favour the prepared.

Well ive gone long here @122.20 for a longer term trade. Breakout of triangle - looking for 122.65 - 70 area first and if broken will add to position.

My techincal chart also shows a potential break North

As shown on the attached chart, we seem to be in an upward correction c, while the bigger scale is still point to the downside.

I took a long trade @ 121.90 with breakeven trailing stop now, targets per shown.

A failure is more worth selling in the next stage (end of c occurs). IMHO.

Cheers.

Still short at 121.99. Kind of getting impatient with this one though. I have stop and reverse at 122.65.
