I see USD/ JPY going much higher after taking our the resistance level. Not today maybe, but soon.
Sorry to hear that .. I've just gone short @ 109.10 !

Looking at the strength of the move up, I think you may well be right.

Meanwhile I'm gonna manage my USD/JPY shortly carefully ....

Stopped out on gbp/jpy 212.72 -65. I should have grabbed some pips at +40 and set stop on the rest at break even, like I usually do. Did not follow my gameplan, and let this thing bite me

Like Stevehutts said there was good support on the rising trendline on daily

Textbook breakout on usd/jpy. I wonder if 50% fib at 109.92 on monthly holds.

I never play breakouts or breakdowns. I like to wait till they are confirmed

I remember you saying it last night. I've learnt my lesson.

The next resistance I see on gbp/jpy is 213.80

I have a feeling aud/usd is going to stall for days before it tests 0.9000.... basically stay around the 0.9050 level for days then move down to 0.9000 or slightly below and keep bouncing off that level for days.

I think there's very strong support at that level. You just have to be patient.

Short USD/CAD 1.0460-70

This is a pretty big level. I actually think this is a repost but as we get closer to these highs it becomes more and more of a reality. If 1.0379/8 gets broken through its only a handful of pips away at that point. Here's the chart:
Just wanted to say that we got a bite on this one today with CAD making at high at 1.0476 - so far just started and I'll keep you guys posted only up a few pips on it right now.

this should be in reference to the positive carry trade pairs (UJ, GJ et al), since Wed 5pm is triple interest rollover.

Long gbp/usd 1.9511 .... small position.
I'll add more at 1.9425. I bought off of that rising trendline on daily. I see good support at 1.9420 area.

Nice trade BRV. You can actually trade this one with a fairly tight stop. Are you planning to exit at 1.0380?

I could be wrong! I just don't bet against the USD when its in bull mode. I wait for confirmation.

I forgot to add.... I hope no one goes into this trade with me as it's a risky trade. That trendline might or might not hold

len - if i may ask, what would your SL be for such a position. Slightly below the day low of 1.987?

Seesaw - Thought you'd like to know that I successfully got out of my USD/JPY short @ 109.10 with 1 masterful PIP of profit !

Having read your advice after I'd already gone short, and looked back at the huge blue candle on the way up, I reckon I'm lucky to have made any profit on it all.

Similar story with my USD/CHF short @ 1.0585, on which I scraped a quick 8-PIP profit before getting out with a great sense of relief.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays from now on I'l take the good advice from you / Sojournerr / FFBK / Len / etc and remember not to stand in front of an express train - thanks to you all !

I'm mixed with this pair.. it seems like she can come down just as easily as she can go up. With triple interest though I'm more inclined to buy... but... i dunno something is telling me not too.

edit: and the divergence on the daily charts too. just be careful
