I'm short as well.
101.85 and 101.75

I think we should probably see about 101.17 or so by London.
All TFs are overbought.

A 61.8 retrace should be doable/feesable, as they'll probably try to pick up buyers for tomorrows CPI news.

But, we'll just have to wait and see.

Trade what the charts tell you.

That should be the Top if it breaks 102.00

However the Japan market could drag it up if positive. Tomorrow AM are earnings from some big banks in the USA.

It needs to break 101.40 to go back to negative bias. It all depends on news overnight and how Europe and the USA trade on Wednesday.

This is the one currency pair more influenced by the ups and downs of the Dow than the technicals by themself.

I am short at 101.47 and if I see it going up I will hedge my position waiting for the reverse to 100

What a ride this pair has day to day.

Good Evening All !!!

I'm looking for the G7 high of 102.10 and the April 11 high of 102.24. Shorts might not come into play till tomorrows earnings and CPI.

Looks like we may get our Asian session 50.0 retrace..... ;- )
50.o fib is at the Weekly Pivot.

A close below the Gann with this next 1H bar and I'd bet we'll see that.

Are we expecting better financial reports in the coming days ?
Or is it too good to be true ?

That was some ride once HCIP came out at 5:00 AM

EUR/USD hits NEW high at 1.5969 and sends USD/JPY to LOW of 100.887 on my FXCM platform.

I am out of all positions and now will sit back and wait for US news at 8:30 this morning.

We could see a Big Drop in Dow and USD/JPY at 100.00

Then who knows if JP shows better results than expected. Everything then will be perfect in Fantasy Land and USD/JPY will go over 102.00

In Forex everything is possible and that is why fundamentals are the key to lasting success in Forex.

That's my view and my results keep me trucking on.

It is a nice feeling to be all in cash waiting for the next FX trading opportunity.

Great Trading Folks !!!

for usd/jpy, today is a define day. if the jobless figure come as expected, than it will in uphill for next few days. ML's report is also important.

however, if it is not, then i would an reversal trend is coming.....

It tested over 102.00 many times and touched 102.19 but could not break through 102.25 and EUR/JPY was as high as 162.85 carrying it up.

Now EUR/JPY is at 162.60 and USD/JPY is at 101.90

Jobless Claims at 8:30 AM and Lynch loss and Philly Fed will set the tone for today. Stay Tuned. Stong Resistance at 102.25 with bottom of the range at 101.05

Any comments or charts ?

Good Day to All ! ! !

You are probably right. The chart climbs as if as the is a very convincing fundamental news.
