Why is everyone looking for the long when the Yen has been a down trend since the 22nd of June with 400 pips already in the trend.....??????
Retail has been overly long every USD pair the whole way down, USD/JPY is no different. Take a look at Oanda's statistics. USD/CAD was 80% long for the past 900pips down. Shorting the dollar is like shooting fish in a barrel, but retail keeps shorting eur/usd and buying usd/cad, usd/chf, usd/jpy, etc.

How long do people think the carry trade is going to hang around? I'm close to going long gbp/Yen but just worry it will unravel and that i'm getting in too late.

Its not the end of carry but still worries me as housing sector in USA is getting worse.

I'll be the bear who sees USD/JPY falling to trendline support @ 116.50 if the 200-day doesn't hold. Although I'll be buying should we successively test the 200-day.

I agree with you guys that think that the USD/JPY has some more downside in store. I like the 119.50 level for very temporary support as the halfway mark on this most recent rally (March - June). Beyond that, I wonder if the most likely consolidation area is 118.50, where the market stopped in April.

120.00 will hold until US market opens.

It will start in action when DJIA start showing RED. Then, 119.75-119.50 is not impossible. That will make G/J @ 246.50-247

Can you give a link to these statistics?

When the retail traders majority start shorting the $ is when the $ trend will change back to long.


Weekly and monthly are very bullish. Were in a short term to slightly mid term correction. But can suddenly return to the over all direction at any given time.

When do we know for sure when a trend is changed....when its too late...So to respond to the guy that said trade what you know....that doesn't work.

edit: also 117.44 is a possible target on a bottom weekly trend line.

Precisely. If that level gives though, all bets are off and we could be sitting on a 300 pip haul in one session.
