we have the H&S on daily, I am sure, just waiting for a breakout to go short.

no problem.
but if you feel like short go ahead do it. The news might help the pair to break that trend line. But at the moment it's just making me stay away from short.

Looks almost ready to break 94, if it does wont be surprised to see a Friday market pushing it down to 93.xx. But its definitely not on uptrend for today.

I'm holding short since 95.60 for today. lets hope

why?
cause the pair is extremely oversold and I see risk appetite back and equities up again

don't think thats gonna happen today though... barely few hours left for the market to shutdown. I'm waiting 3 more hours for the price to turn up, will be quitting my trades. Don't wanna be caught in a weekend gap against me.

Its good to see a person believe so hard in stochastic's and overbought/oversold conditions, cuz i have forgotten them long back.

well for today tis been range bound between 95.20-95.80 area. i have my sell stop at 96.00 just in case.

Hope it moves somewhere either one of us win...rather than being stuck for hours in range bound with positions.

I believe RSI is important on this pair, cause differently from EURUSD or GBPUSD that are swinging pairs, USDJPY tends to make unidirectional moves (like for example USDCAD and USDCHF).

When I trade it I therefore keep a short-medium term horizon, trying to sell the strenght and buy the weakness.

For today I see a close above or below 95.6 could be indicative for the coming days.

huge US Treasury coupons expiry + redemption of japanese capital could cause further pressure if equities will turn weak again today

I still see these downward moves as chances to go long on the medium term
