Pending order short at 84.33 with 12 pips SL with the trend which actually still down and against triple top. If SL hit, i'll go long after R2 daily PP will be broken, because 84.40 will be support instead of resistance.

I've got a long position on U/J at this moment since 83.00. It seems like it is a good time to take profit and open the short trade now.

market looks like no direction and fluctuating in a range between 84.29 and 83.89. 1hr chart indicates lower high and lower low, but still no confirmation for down move. Consolidation?

The JPY is struggling with breaking it resistance at 83.40 but there is a base support at 83.35 on TS line in ichimoku so I think that the price action will be violated during next trading sessions.

The UJ break the resistance at 83.40 earlier than I thought so it seems that market is in the bearish sentiment for JPY. yeah time to trade is here, btw dont forget to take a look at EJ.

Too quiet. With that strange calm, we could not expect reel move before New York session.

I have not read all the posts .. in fact I am fairly new here .. that's why I did not want to start a new thread.

My question is .. like I say, it may have been answered before .. how can anyone trade confidently using T/A or any other form of analysis, when everything seems to depend on the course of the USDollar .. which is known to turn on a dime?

for inst, the U-J looks bearish as can be .. but what about if the dollar decides to go back up >80 on the DXY? wouldn't that knock everything over .. where would the bearish U-J be then .. might as well read tealeaves!

Good point. Uncertainty is what you have to get used to.

Always have a backup plan, never bet the house, try to stay in the game, thrieve for small steady wins... Try to develop an edge, try to do what noone else does, you dont want to be a lemming

Well you're right it takes 2 to tango.
Right now Yen doesn't display a clear trend of its own so USD behaviour is dominating UJ
On the other hand the pair gives some protection downwards due to intervention risks and all time low.
I think we are at a critical point atm and not only bearish, look at the possible inverse H&S

Option 1 - Close your account and buy lottery tickets, but then again I prefer coffee to tea.

Option 2 - Open up your chart on your desired time frame. Draw on the prominent trend line. If bearish sell at said trend line, if bullish, buy at said trend line. This isn't about predicting the future, it's all about trading what price is doing. Once the trend line is broken (with confirmation), look to change your bias and once again trade in the way of the trend.

Technical analysis is self fulfilling. Markets are driven by supply and demand. More buyers and the price rises, more sellers and the price falls. If traders see an obvious supply or demand area they are likely to trade it. An obvious demand area and traders will buy pushing the price up and an obvious supply area and traders will look to sell pushing the price back down.

Strip your chart naked, keep it simple and you will be profitable.
Good luck mate and get rid of those tea leaves

thank you George and U-B for wise comments.

a trend of its own .. that might be the relevant thing to look for.

A Dominant Trend .. hmmmm! .. fluctuations within such dom-trend .. learn to ignore the USD .. sufficient confidence might enable .. have to sleep on that.

did I say sleep .. no way! not with 2 positions open .. short U-J & U-cad.

might add that I am using enough indicators, signals & theories to fill a Hercules transport .. but the one that eludes me is an entry that offers instant dynamics .. even if only temporary, but long enough to take part profit & set stop at break-even.

I know they're all doing it .....

As fosking said, don't get caught with those indicators, simple trend lines e.g. demand/supply zones especially the horizontal ones plus some fundamental thinking is way enough imo
