DislikedSeems like everyone is short below 200 and long after 200. Just goes to show what round numbers can do in this market. But look at over 200. The majority of longs there are astounding.
Also just read this from UBS FX Strategy and thought I'd share:
"There was a plethora of comments from Japanese officials this morning, the upshot of which make it seem increasingly unlikely that Japan would consider intervention. BoJ's Suda said that "it's natural that the central bank has an interest rate hike at the back of its mind" although acknowledged that "it's difficult to tighten money when the economy is weakening". BoJ's Nishimura however said that the bank will continue to "adjust rates" if the economic recovery continues with price stability. Nishimura is clearly referring to the need to tightening rates, without actually saying as such - perhaps reflecting a desire to avoid making comments that could attract political criticism. The OIS market however continues to judge the risks as skewed to lower rates, pricing in 15bp of rate cuts over the upcoming 12 months. However, for now the BoJ has not adopted an easing bias, and hence the yen remains supported by monetary policy. More significantly, Finance Minister Nukaga acknowledged that from a long-term perspective a strong yen may have its benefits. This suggests that MoF remains only preoccupied with the speed of movements in the FX markets, and will not be drawing a "line in the sand" for any specific level of USDJPY. Nukaga also commented on FX reserves, saying that losses on Japan's reserves are around Y18.6 tn if USDJPY is at 100 yen. We cannot recall a finance minister commenting explicitly on the returns of reserves before. If Japan was to diversify out of the US dollar they would lose even more money by pushing the US dollar lower, so his message seems consistent with not disrupting reserve allocations for now."
Ok, so my economics accumen is not where it needs to be, but I'm working on it. Anyways, if they're losing 18.6 trillion yen at 100 I'm sure they're going to want get out of this some how and switch to another currency such as Euro. So how would they do that? I figure they'd want to at least break even so we should rally past 100 then they'd be selling off the dollar (in stages) and buy something else like Euro's (I'm just throwing out Euro's)?
Also, I guess the other implication is it's too late for them to do anything b/c they're in the hole, and if this is the case, then what will prevent the Yen from going lower? We are in a downtrend already and supposedly the markets have priced in the expected 15 point cut over the next 12 months. If that's the case the dollar should have rallied already.
Or does BoJ have enough capital to buy dollars up to past the 100 level where they're breaking even and everyone is thinking the uptrend has begun and then they sell off dollars in a bull trap? Hmmmm....Is my thinking on track here or am I way off base?Ignored
Dislikedoh, i 4got news at 8.30. i shouldnt have placed d trade, well, ill move SL b4 d news and turn it into a news prenews casino tradeIgnored
Dislikedi don't believe in HS anymore. just plain trendlines and support/resistance levels on multiple timeframes.
the whole point of this movement is to divert us from the real trend. the next drop will come at the point when nobody will expect it anymore. so, since i didn't buy yesterday's fake breakout, i expect another upward movement.
look now, g-j is usually falling during asia... this time went up 100 + pips.
i'd like to believe we'd see some nice movements tomorrow.Ignored
