It's Yen weakness as opposed to Euro strength in this rise.

Well,

EUR/JPY is going up, so we have three possible scenarios:

1) EUR is strong
2) JPY is weak
3) EUR is strong and JPY is weak

We look at EUR/USD to see that it is ranging.

Thus EUR and USD are about as strong/weak as each other.

Ergo, JPY must be the currency that is weak to cause both EUR/JPY and USD/JPY to rise - if EUR/USD is doing nothing.

I see eurjpy move is being driven by jpy strength and recent pullback is because rebound in yen strength.

Will eurjpy continues its recent down trend? if it is where is the next target?

Any Idea.

pivot points could help you with the next target and the yen could strength or weeken when ever they feel like, if is too strong and will interfere with their export, the emperor intervine and trow some billions and then he get it all back with the procidings of the exports sales, IMOHO

No idea... ...and if it did, what's your target?... you shooting for 10 pip scalp or 1000 pip runner. You on tick-charts or weekly?

What's a "target" to you?

Yuppie,

Didn't you tell me being able to withstand 300 pip moves for EJ position trades was a bit of an exageration?

From last nights bottom of 126.95, midway through the asian session, to the current top of 130.66, is a 371 pip move (this would've closed my shorts at breakeven if I hadn't taken profits first).

Just messin' with you .

Any thoughts?

I'm still open to a short position around the 3 fib intersection .

Out of interest, would it have stopped out your shorts if you left your initial SLs where they were and not setting to BE?

I find this happens a lot.

Price will come back up to my entry.
