no that doesnt mean when the bar starts going down sell. That means when price spikes up to resistance levels on a 4h chart, 8h chart, daily then you sell.....
can u give me a visual ( chart ) of the above in usdjpy context today ..?

i am confused with this spike up to resistance ... thought today it broke downwards from the support ... ????

a short covering rally is when buyers come in to "cover" their shorts or buy back what they sold ie. profit taking.......the top line is in play. This is only hard if you make it hard.....common sense is the best tool.

Hit my entry exactly at the low!! Next hurdle for Yen bears is trendline resistance at 85.79. Above that I will trail my stop to cost and take 1/2 profit at my first target at 87.35.
Well played, I shorted 2 minutes before the news... went to bed and what happen to 84.00?? crap...

where did you get 84.80 from? or did you just look at 84.7 and added?

hi people

I am looking for some people to do a website project to help people trade. By help I mean group trade calls and mentoring. This is not a commercial project so there is no profit, I just have a sponsor for the design, hosting and running cost so no profit but pure education in forex.

So if you have successful trading knowledge and willing to help out please contact me.

Again, this is not a commercial thing so do not ask for money or payments from the users of the project because this is free all the way round.

I don't think it's that obvious any longer man......for the past 2 weeks the bears have been trying to get this to stick below 85.30 (ish) and they can't do it. Included in that period there has also been 4 failed attempts to get into the 84's, despite continued crap news for the greenback.

No, the downdtrend has not yet been broken, but there are cracks appearing.

With BOJ talking about intervention again I believe no one wants to get caught on the wrong end of it.

If you look back on this pairs history, you can easily see that when it hits a true bottom, it comes off of capitulation. Right now all the pair is doing is consolidating right at support. That's usually a signal that it's getting ready to decline. I mean look at the fundamentals coming out of japan. They've completely went into the abyss. They've gone so far that monetary policies they attempt to put into action don't even work anymore. Even if they intervene, it will not work. History has only told us that when CB's try to take on the market, the market wins.......

Watch this....This Bass guy is a very smart dude. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1568296901&play=1


A lot of times, taking a step back and looking at a larger tf over a longer scale gives a great picture of where the pair is really headed........Everyone's out there talking, " Oh I'm gonna buy at 84, 82, max out my leverage at 80....." Hello margin call....No.......I'm looking at 75 in the near term.

I agree with you up to a point. The only way this is going to 75 is if Japan is ready to risk everything....which I doubt. If, at mondays BOJ meeting, they choose to take no action as far as the high value of the yen is concerned, and they don't choose their words very carefully, then the market will likely react with a drop....and it could be to 75. I doubt that BOJ is going to risk that happening.....they can't afford to. You'll see mass suicides if that happened!!

I don't think they will intervene directly, because, as you say, they won't win......and, other central banks won't back then in direct intervention.

What's most likely....imo....is more verbal intervention, that may or may work.

Not selling rallies.....imo that's crazy. It's just as crazy as taking unprotected longs with maxed out margins. I am buying dips (but you knew that!!) with very tight stops, and so far I am in profit with that tactic.
