If anybody made anything off that I wouldn't wait to cash in, looks like it is going to fall.

The MOF has not confirmed that an intervention has occurred.

First they dabble with the markets and now insult them.
BOJ did buy earlier, but this move may, or may not be due to the resignation rumour......dunno really

The spike came through more than one Japanese bank. I don't see how it could have spiked that much in 1 minute from more than one source on a rumor but I suppose anything is possible.

Traders that work for other banks still think it was BOJ but no confirmation and BOJ is saying they will not confirm either way so who knows.

At least it adds a bit of excitement to an otherwise flat trading day.

I think this time the govt will not directly intervene like the last week's. This is because Jap PM is meeting Obama today and he doesnt want to complicate things which will give an upper hand for China in talks with US on Yuan appreciation.
The spike could be due to other local banks working for BOJ or there is some fresh news coming about China/Jap spate.

I don't think that Japan or China has too much to worry about with Obama.....China is keeping it's currency low, Japan is selling the Yen and Obama likes to print dollars. They are all forms of intervention and Obama is no better that those he like to accuse. I doubt that China and Japan will give Obama anything other than a smile and a bit of lip service.....then go about their own business concerning their own countries welfare.

This intervention by the BOJ to artificially prop up the US Dollar shows the weakness of the USD. Sounds like a big drop could come sooner than later
US Dollar is trash... Get out of that Ponzi scheme !!!

I'm looking for opportunities to long. Seems the BOJ intervention may be producing the desired sentiment in the markets at least for a bit...

If the US has its plunge protection team the BOJ is entitled to a plunge creation team.

Where do you see that change in sentiment?
Intervening for 5 minutes and then letting it ride down again doesn't improve my sentiment.

ps I'm long as from 84.38

What idiots.

What are they trying to prove? Let the markets run their course. Do they not realize the bulk of their intervention funds are going to the hedge funds and large equity houses.

Why not establish a TARP fund similar to what the FED did two years ago instead of wasting billions into the shark pit?

Instead they insist on bullying markets with their push and pull power. I mean at least if your gonna embark on your intervention sprees then do so in a tactful fashion. I.e. news releases, major world/economic...
ease, I think it wasn't intervention (low volume and back move)
it's rumors move because all expecting intervention, but it's not meaning it's can't go up more

Are you confident there was intervention? The weekly chart shows the pair bouncing on the bottom of the downward channel and we're at least due for a retracement to 88-90. That coupled with BOJ intervention hysteria the forex gods may just let it rise a enough to reinforce my technical perceptions of reality.

boj is in the 'neither confirm nor deny' frame of mind, so other than their earlier buying the usd/jpy, I wonder if this spike is just a result of the rumour that the BOJ governer is about to quit?

We'll find out in due course. In the meantime I'm content to sit on my long and add more if this thing shows some willingness to etch it's way back up!

When they intervened last time I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.....this spike I also caught because I bought off the pivot!! I cashed in this move, but the original intervention long is still running

Well, if I would like to build a large UJ long I wouldn't wait for thin market time to execute. So I think someone (the buyer) must have picked up some very protected bullish rumours.
Just hope my entry=BE=84.38 will hold....

Hello Everyone,

I am new to this forum as well as trading the USD/JPY.

I have been trading mainly e minis. ( ES, YM, TF & NQ )

I have studied the Euro & GBP a bit but new to USD/JPY.

My question is : if USD/JPY dropped from 85.92 to 85.12.

Is that a drop of 80 Pips ?

I see some charts with 3 digits & some 2 digits. So which one is correct ?

Thank you guys.

George

Your entry is under the pivot so it should hold....unless the durable goods spoils it!
