Some are anxiously awaiting the prophecy that usdjpy will drop to 102 by the end of the week.

The better than Consensus Ex Auto retail sales number sent it to it's HIGH of 104.797

That was a great place to short. Resistance is at 104.95

The Dow then going down let it retrace however EUR/JPY running from 160.122 to 162.02 KEPT USD/JPY higher than it might be. You need to wait for Dow to go down over 100 and see EUR/JPY rettrace towards 161.00

Is that clear for everyone ?

Good Trading...

Clear as a bell! Thank you teacher. Please keep us updated.
Please make your own trading decisions however I do think that a short over 104.80 could be a good trade. Ideally as close to 104.95 as possible. Stop loss at 105.20 in case things have changed fundamentally or technically.

Just imagine where the USD/JPY would be now if the Retail Sales were worse than Consensus.

In other words NOTHING has changed. Things are BAD. You have now a BETTER entry point to short from. That is one of the KEYS to be a winning FX trader.

A Trade Plan...Patience...A Good Entry Point...A Good Exit Strategy...See the News due out on Wednesday. Read WWW.JSMINESET.COM after the close at 5:00 PM for the North American Markets.

Finally please bring me a APPLE for Class tomorrow.

Something happened right at 12 pm EDT today that caused USD to strengthen all across the board, not just against JPY - we're talking futures, euro, pound etc. For a while it did look like it would cool off after the sales report, but then it's as if some kind of switch was flipped.

Clearly, as good a job as it does, FF can't capture every event contributing to market volatility on the calendar. It is still taking place, as I'm typing this... and I still have no clue what's causing it.

On a related note, it appears as though the Dow will finish in the green today.

I am only saying it because many supposedly experienced traders all say that usdjpy should fall, and fall hard. I am very inexperienced, so I wouldn't know. Just wondering why so many experienced eyes looking at the chart are definite about it going down, yet it's been going up, and possibly pushing recent highs.
