Quoting Firstboss
I am short @ 107.45, take profit at 107.28 - midpoint between the daily and central.
Also have a blind long entry at the PP (107.08 + 2pips), with take profit also at midpoint
That is a good call....... Thank you Firstboss

Do you think a pickup of the Asian stocks will move it upward? I'm going to sit tight till the Asian session opens..

Well, in a nonrmal world one would expect yen to strengthen considerably, but these are strange days. I saw the spread widen for maybe 2 seconds, AFTER the news.

i just don't get it any more.

I'm going to turn my monitor upside down for awhile and see if that helps.

Yen is often slow to react on Japanese news. Wonder if it's insider trading (market makers know the news ahead), Japanese patience or volatility prevention by Japanese Central Bank...
I am still short - added more at 107.50

I see the same trend line on my hourly, back to the high on 6/25, with a top at 107.62; recent high at 107.75. I think it should drop, soon; at least to 106.5.

I dont get it anymore, the market is so screwed up with everyone trying to prop up a currency. Look what the Koreans did..LOL
I'm afraid to go short, I'm not sure about going long....

I do think it will short, but I'm waiting for further confirmation. What worries me with this pair is that it often moves in tandem with the stock markets, which were up today; add the drop in oil, this is all good for the USD.

Yuk Yuk.. I guess so. I read too much into the news, and U/J should follow the Asian market if they are up I would assume.

Nikkei is way up right now, but sometimes that just means that it can only go down.
