overall market has changed

I think the market has changed lately.

1. Liquidity rose significantly
2. many individuals joined the market
(can you add anything? )

I think because of these reasons now we have less trending market. All trends tend to have end (USDJPY correction for example).

Look at EURJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP (other crosses) they are not trending at all in long-term (weekly, monthly)


what do you think,

Would one go short/long on long-term rallies/collapses?

Personally I look carefully on EURJPY/GBPJPY for short opportunity

aud/jpy, cad/jpy and nzd/jpy have a strong bullish trend.

Read my post more carefully, I mean liquidity is the main cause of this new market. I think CADJPY is one of the illiquid pairs. AUDJPY and ZNDJPY too.

I think you're mixing up the two terms "liquidity" and "volume". There is always liquidity in any pair. Always some MM willing to buy or sell any pair. That's liquidity. With regards to volume, IMO, Forex volume in over-hyped and used as a marketing tool by MM's, Brokers, System sellers etc. A lot of the volume is created by the MM's to move the markets where they want it to go, at least at the retail level and in the short term time span.

But there are terms of High liquid and less liquid pairs, Thus there are very few buyers/sellers of CADJPY and such seldom traded pairs
