it's around 80.30 now and everything is pointing to weaker dollar at least on Monday 80.75 will be touched and lower I guess.
but in reality let us wait and see, it is going to be an interesting week.

Yes, I read the article many times in the last days...
I find it good that you are bearish... always go with the trend, we need confirmation of an uptrend first.... I would hedge, and use the bearish profits to put them on the bullish account... but wait with the bullish positions until we have some drastic happenings!
No you mistake me, I have a small long position, which was obviously a d mistake, but I wouldn't go short even though I'm expecting this to fall the more (hoping it wont of course).
I might add to my long later if I see a proper reversal forming, but shorting is too risky with any possibility of BOJ intervention which the G7 meeting was in favour of to stop extreme volatility, rather than manipulation. No, anytime this goes under 80 intervention is a real and strong possibility so beware, I wouldn't want to be short when it happens

Good evening all,

don't like to think the obvious will happen, so long @ 80.30 SL @ 79.70 in case the obvious will happen.....

Eitherway... I am waiting for going long... I have a small position short right now, but also some micropositions long...
I dont know... I will keep ammunition ready for the bullride... but shorting small size is the best idea right now...

The best I can hope for is a sort of reversed head and shoulder formation at the moment which has been talked about, (right shoulder being created now), but I can't help feeling that 79.75 is acting like a magnet for this pair. Either way I think we're in for a very strong bounce sometime soon, intervention or not, it's certainly worth the waiting for.

I think one indicator for JP intervention is JPY index -- in other words, JPY needs to be strong against all other major currencies for interventions. Right now, UJ is going down, but EJ is going up. GY is also ranging.

I think a critical moment is when JPY gets strong in all these pairs.

longer timeframe: I expect a bounce

There are only 3 reasons I could think of why USDJPY going south:

1. Trade Surplus: As money goes to Japan, it is converted to JPY.

2. Risk Aversion. Scared of bad economy, go to more stable economy. Now this boggles me. Japan is not in any better shape than most western economies (USA, Europe) with GDP lagging behind in the last decade or two. strong jpy had slowed much of its export economy.

3. Speculation: this perhaps is the strongest reason I could think of. People are just betting this arse off. speculators got more money to push it down more than BOJ could pull it back up. it is all in the money. although more retail traders are long on this pair, however, most of these "long" are virtual and does not hit the real market thus insignificant impact. only the big money speculators could push it down.

Can't argue with those reasons.....this is an interesting article that may shed a bit of light on this subject: http://www.forexblog.org/2010/10/why...ll-rising.html

True.

It is one of the many currencies in the world that does not depreciate much in the face of inflation. CNY is another one; although china is heating too much, it could be in for a hard fight against inflation.

I might be wrong but Japs have meeting on Thursday 11-4-10...and I think no intervention yet...Until then is beyond my imagination how low will be UJ.

is it more probable that BoJ will intervene when tokio bourse is open? Or can they intervene anytime 24/7?
If they want to intervene when tokio is closed dont they have to use the help of another central bank?
