I recommend that if you haven't done so already, switch to the daily chart, zoom right out and look at the trend.

We have two outcomes at this point:

1. We are in a rally which means look for more downside action.
2. This is a change of trend in which case we should wait for more upside trend confirmation.

Have the fundamentals for the GBP really changed? Do we have a change of trend? What will happen when the interest rate statement is released later this week?

I must admit that this year has been very difficult for me to trade and current market conditions have reminded me of a natural phenomenon. Has anybody been at the mouth of a river just as the tide is changing? The water swirls around rather than flowing. Some of the water runs upstream while some flows downstream, then after a short time, the river gives into the gravity of the moon and starts flowing smoothly again.... that is until the next lunar event.

Everything fundamentally all screwed up at the moment. Up is down, left is right, gravity is reversed so I'm sitting on the side lines until things start to settle down.

I have a sell stop order at 208.60 just in case the price turns and breaks below Fridays low... This would be a clear indication that the market is taking GBP/JPY much lower.

Just be careful trying to predict the market at the moment. It is more dangerous than ever before.

Good luck.

207+ has held very well....now it has made a temp bot....a break above 212.00 again is needed to continue.....looks as if Bushes stimulis package working very well....but its for a short term only...long term the trend is down.

You need to have gonads the size of coconuts to go long in GBPJPY at the moment!!! I call it low odds trading!

Could we see a retest of 204.50 sometime soon?
