if you look at the daily chart and see the pin bar that is forming it give a feeling (just the look) that the trend down now will start or there is still a long way down to go

Why would the professionals buy JPY if they believed a BOJ intervention is coming? Unless they believe there will be no intervention?

I don't know ..that is info from their website...fact is UJ is still going down...and Retail trader is still buying UJ hopping it will be intervention.

As per Dukascopy professionals are buying JPY and amateurs are buying USDJPY...big difference.
Last time I checked large traders on COT are decreasing positions. SHort contracts have been decreasing.

My understanding is big investors don't want to keep USD in their hand but have any better choice than buying Yen...

Do you see a bounce from here or do you think it will touch 79.75?

I think place stops below 78.99, and reduce lot size to stay within risk appetite, and MM.

I don't know why everybody is pointing at jpy/usd but all the other pairs have the same spike eur/usd gbp/usd ...
I was sleeping at the time of the spike sure it is not an intervention and I don't think it is a computer glitch.
well obviously every pair that has USD in it... Somebody buying USD, because of maybe a closing of a longtime short position in USD short.

All the pairs are intermangled...
this pig cannot be slaughtered for ever... or can it?

We are now trading above 80.50 and price is slowly increasing. I think risk on plus speculative buyers are up to come up as price crawls with a bullish tone.

Does anyone have any idea what is likely to happen to the US Dollar when the mid-term election results are announced and the Democrats get a bloodied nose as widely expected? Been reading a few reports here and there but it has been one hell of a confusing read so far. I am not sure whether I should close some of my existing USD/JPY positions which at the moment is still running at -50 pips loss.

Some people say the Dem winner weighs on USD, but I don't really know. There are so many events coming up this and next weeks -- QE2, EU meeting, JP meeting and G20 in Korea...

One thing I'm sure is nobody is sure what is going to happen. But I would close my opening positions if they can't survive big spikes that might happen this week right after QE2... Otherwise it may be a good chance to make profit.

imo, if you use MT4 to trade I believe they can see your stops. I do agree though it's time to see UJ bounce and EU trend.

there is definately buying interest on uj. Regular money will not move it like this normally.

here you all go.
