1) China is buying JPY bonds in the last couple of weeks in order to diversify away from USD and EUR

Hello again guys, long time no see. my trade still have a lot of long transaction open. and i dont know why in long term trade i still believe that this pair will go back to 94.xx

but guys can you give me an opinion about the current condition? actually now USD/JPY will face many problem when the cerrencies is so strong. but there is no visible step from the Japan goverment. so do you think this pair will still have a big chance to back to 94.xx again?

Hello Yeri, nice to see you again. I just got back from 3 days in mountains so I won't trade because I'm tired. This pair is still consolidating and it's anyones guess when it will move north. I don't think the BOJ will directly intervene, but we have heard lot's of talk from the Japanese 'officials' in an attempt to 'talk the Yen down'. I doubt that this pair will drop lower than it's recent bottom of 86.27.....but hell....it just might!!

The focus on the Euro and all it's troubles is abating now, perhaps temporarily, perhaps not....and the focus is on the state of the USA economy. It's only a matter of time before the focus shirts to Japan, and the monumental debt that it has.....which makes Greece look good!

I'm pretty confident that we will see 95 before too long, and I'm looking for 100+ on a long term long that I have opened at 86.60.

The time frame?.....who knows!!

How much drawdown can you handle on your open longs? There's always the chance that it re-test the long term low of 84.80....and if it breaks that then the Japanese govt might have to act.

I think your longs to 94 will pay off, but it depends on how much drawdown you can handle.

for the record ... No, I am not trading real account.

as u can see from the above charts .... this month, i have attempted only 3 demos and one failed .... analysis is one thing ... being present at the right time is another ... taking the next step is even harder ... still learning ...

anyway , thanks for the well wishes !

yours humbly,

Thats a good one... I also sold one at 87.52 and TP 87.35 was pretty confident that it should touch at least 87.10 and lower... but too bad i took the profit too earlier in case it shot up..

Hehehe.... i guees for now buy at 86.70 and TP at 87 will be a good one.. not sure yet.. but i guees it will play at range 86.50-87.80 for the time being..

sitting on the fence ...

going by the triangle formed , think it might continue its downtrend keeping within the upward blue channel ..

but the macd and osma(histogram) seem to say might turn up ...

just watching how the cat will jump ..

I guess we should see lower low before the BOJ intervenes.
Here is my chart. I use raghee's indicator to know where the flexible resistance and supports are. But before that I wait for the PA to give me a signal to short or to long based on 5-8EMA crosses. Then I draw TL with short term FIBO levels. And I get in once the TL and FIBO is broken. I'm planning to enter little below of the short term 61.8%. ATM is trading in range respecting the shor term 50 and 61.8% fibos.
