The Yen is going to take a huge hit. Risk appetite increasing, while the Japanese economy is hurting big time. Japanese core machinery orders down 9.1%, while the current account increased 20% less than expected. Today's numbers shift the fundamental scale towards the USD. I expect a rise over the next couple day towards 90.

Nice one Donnie.......I got 8740.....just above the S1 yesterday. I was going to shoot for 87 flat, but I chickened out! I have the stop at be+10 and I'm hold this trade until it either gets stopped out or we reach 100!

Of course I'll make other trades in the meantime, I just want to see how this goes long term.

I'm in the same boat with ya here brother. You beat me on the entry cause I chickened out to be honest. I tried two other longs at 90.00 and 88.50. Was thinking 85 could come into the realm of possibility??? we still haven't hit any major resistance but that pinbar and the bar that's 5 back definitely appears to have more buying than selling going on over a period of all 5 daily bars really

later

USDJPY is a classic pair for Fundamental vs Technical analysts.

According to charts, it has to go down down and down more till it reaches 85.00.
Yet some would explain that the recent rebound (from 86.95) is just a mere retrace from oversold levels.
Fundamentalists would claim that JPY is just plain too expensive for Japan to make ends meet and therefore would intervene soon. We have heard this statement since USDJPY hit 100.00, when it hit 95.00 when it hit 90.00 and so on.. yet it kept falling down.
Some Fundamentalists would claim that JPY is considered as "safe haven" currency and therefore reacted accordingly as it is right now (ie, JPY getting stronger amidst the threat of recession).

Japan will be having an election this weekend. Let us see how Tech vs Fundy compares when it comes next week.

Personally, I am LONG 88.8, 88.5, 87.70 and 87.05... I am LONG simply because I betting on it. No TA no FA just BET/GAMBLE.

Nope, sorry. I've never understood those patterns. There was a poster on the eur/usd thread last year and she was a real exponent of the Gartly patterns, but I never did grasp the idea.

I see you use FXCM. Lots of retail traders been long on this for a fair few weeks and no doubt to the forex gods. This is today's reading. Looks like they are slowly changing their bias.

USDJPY - The ratio of long to short positions in the USDJPY stands at 3.29 as nearly 77% of traders are long. Yesterday, the ratio was at 4.37 as 81% of open positions were long. In detail, long positions are 11.5% lower than yesterday and 17.4% weaker since last week. Short positions are 17.8% higher than yesterday and 32.3% stronger since last week. Open interest is 6.0% weaker than yesterday and 94.6% above its monthly average. The SSI is a contrarian indicator and signals more USDJPY losses.
