It's just so amazing that after all those actions last night, today, the pair barely moved a millimeter in the NA session.

Hello! Calling for traders!! Is there a trader in the house?
I'm not trading this or any yen pair, at least for the rest of the week maybe for the rest of the month. I should have kept my long position yesterday on AUDJPY but I didn't and I'm not opening a new one.

" which way will it move ? ... better not guess ... wait on the sidelines .... when in doubt , don't push the button ...preserve capital ..err on the side of caution ... etc " ... probably some of the thoughts going thru the mind ....

It hasn't gone down either though.

But I thought we are the unimportant tiny minority. What happened to those BIG SHOTS Institutional traders? Don't they have to trade for their banks for their banks' day-to-day transactions? This is their daily volume? This is it?

ok .

how about some chart reading ..

the immediate resistance is at 85.89

macd is maxed and shows losing momentum

osma (macd histogram) looks bearish and might cross zero line

will there be a reversal ....?

or will range for sometime and then blast off again ... ?

probably they are doing their sums now ... perhaps they too did not expect the intervention today ... so they are taking stock of the situation and sizing up before they enter the arena ...

Ok. I wil wait until they enter the arena and then we shall see. Right now, we can't really read much from the charts because there is not much to read. The prices only moved 2 -3 bps in the last 4 hours and that's supposedly the busiest trading hours during the NA session.

We will wait. Just surprised that without any speculative actions, this is the daily volume and movement of Institutional players in the Forex market.

I can't see them not getting involved if it wants to drop below 85. They didn't intervene just to see the price head back down in any significant manner so soon. There will be pullbacks but over the next couple of weeks I think the overall trend will be up.

Keep in mind that I have no friggin idea about what I am talking about so take it with a grain of salt.

I agree with you, i think BOJ want to see if the trend is still bullish.... The target is around 90, that is quite ideal for export...
Currency speculators do not dare to sell UJ for some time.

Yes, at least to 90. Think they will try for 92+ (whether that is attainable or not is another story) according to this:

Quote
It’s “pretty unlikely” officials will be able to return the yen to the level “that companies are basing their profit forecasts” on, Nishioka at RBS Securities said. Firms said they remain profitable as long as the yen trades at 92.90 per dollar or weaker, according to the Cabinet Office’s annual report released in February.

"A surprise attack" -- a quote from Nikkei newspaper (equivalent to Wall Street Journal in Japan).

Also quoting from Nikkei...
The JP gov threw $2.3B in the market yesterday. JP gov did not use brokers for the intervention to prevent the rumors among brokers. JP keeps intervening tomorrow if needed. For the last intervention in 2004, JP gov spent $33B in total.

Here is interesting parts...
This is a JP gov's sole intervention. JP gov has been negotiating with other countries so that no other gov comes against the JP's intervention. Other counties are not willing to intervene the market anyway, even though they were when the last intervention in 2004.

Nikkei's take
It is very unclear if JP gov can succeed in this intervention because there is no backup from other countries. This is a war between JP gov and the market. The first round seems the JP gov's win due to the "surprise attack."

My take
The market will never lose no matter what the gov does because the market plays with their own money while the gov plays with somebody else's money (namely tax money). The hedge funds will suck up all the money the JP gov put in after all....

I would be very wary of trying to short the U/J right after an invention has started.
i agree 100%. If BOJ really intervening they are waiitng till the low volume zone between close of US markets and start china. This is when they may make their next move. This time will make sure that they can overcome any opposition to their buying uj

all down moves have been on very low volume. 85.75 is resis on daily with 86.50 and 87.50 resistance levels above that . I would not be surprised to see another 200 pip pop to 87.50 if boj is really intervening

Ok Ok, I won't. I am waiting just like everyone else. Just surprised at the super low volume today.

This sounds like a "Yen trading" intervention: Don't do it! Don't throw away your account money like this! You have a whole trading career ahead of you!

Warms my heart that you guys care about another fellow trader this much *sniff sniff*

just the fact that uj ramps up what 250 pips plus and then moves in a tight 25 pip channel for hours now suggests that is is just having a tea break ...lol....

there seems to be no sell interest at all right now and any slight dips wait for an up move that ends on a lower high on a 15 before tkaing any sell positions.

picking tops when boj or swiss bank are intervening is suicide .... your mini lot against their billions ... who will win ...lol

if you are unsure if boj is really intervening then trade something else for a few days and let the dust settle. GU has been pretty noce and the daily is coming off a strong rounded bottom ,

Again, it is very unclear that JP yen goes up or down as Nikkei newspaper wrote.

According to Nikkei:

UP: JP gov keeps injecting the money until the price satisfies them.

Down: Europe and the US don't do anything about it, wanting their currency prices low so that their exporting does good. This case, yen may start going down two weeks from now. Also, Europe and the US don't want to back up the JP gov, wanting Chinese to stop manipulating the currency. It is not fair if they encourage the JP gov to intervene the market.

Interesting, eh?
