u mean u dont trade USDJPY at all or only this time ?
I'd rather buy the dips than sell from here. If we can get to 81.30 - 81.10, I'll be a keen buyer if the pa looks good. Selling from here though is a bit too risky for me.

Just as a 'rule of thumb'.....take a look at where the PA is at Asian open, with regard to the Daily Pivot. More often than not, if the PA is above the pivot, it will continue in that direction.....same if it's under the DP.

Your short might work out ok, but you're probably a bit late getting into it. The time would have been right at Asian open. You could have your SL at BE by now, removing all risk.

u mean 85.5 and 76.4 ? i feel fibo works better in lower timeframe, maybe i am wrong.
My chart is almost exactly .82...

Plus several DailyFX analysts have it at .82 too:



Jamie Saettele - Continue to look lower towards initial support at 8200 (38.2% Fibonacci and former resistance). I expect that the decline will result in formation of a wave ii low ahead of 7637 before a much larger advance in a 3rd or C wave. 8300 and 8350 are short term resistance areas.
Support/Resistance Index (M,W,D) – 0, (5), (4)



Ilya Spivak - USDJPY put in a Doji at support just above the 82.00 figure marked by the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the rally from the mid-March spike low set in the wake of the Tohoku earthquake. A shallow rebound has begun, with a daily close above 82.71 would confirm the completion of a bullish Morning Doji Star, opening the door to enter long initially targeting the April 6 high at 85.51.

Here is the indi I use. You will find that the pivots vary slightly between brokers, but if you use a USA based broker, your pivot should be close. The indi says that the daily pivot today is 82.60. If you go to http://www.actionforex.com/markets/p...2010040848154/ , (make sure you select the 'Daily' tab), you can see that they have todays pivot at 82.63. That's close enough

I trade several pairs though, so there is no need to try and force a trade on any particular pair. For me.....I like to sit under the Forex tree and see what fruit falls into my hands....and I gratefully accept what I find. If I tried to climb the tree and get more, I would fall from the tree and get hurt!!

MARKET TALK: USD/JPY May Hit 100.00 By Fiscal Year-End - Daiwa

0046 GMT [Dow Jones] The WSJ interview with BOJ Governor Shirakawa saying Japan's GDP will likely shrink in the first half of this year suggests that the BOJ has no choice but to leave its policy ultra-easy for the time being; reinforcing views that the JPY will be the least favorable vehicle for investment for this fiscal year that started in April, says Daiwa SB Investments senior fund manager Kenichiro Ikezawa. "This is Shirakawa confirming that the BOJ's easy policy will remain for a while," meaning "the yen will likely weaken." He says the USD/JPY may touch 100.00 briefly by the end of this fiscal year; the USD/JPY is trading at 82.15. ([email protected])

MARKET TALK: USD/JPY Implied Vols Steady; FOMC Eyed For Cues

0322 GMT [Dow Jones] Volatilites implied by USD/JPY currency options are mostly steady from late New York on Friday, with the market focusing on the FOMC meeting later this week. "People are taking a wait-and-see stance ahead of the FOMC meeting," says an options trader at a major Japanese bank. The U.S. will probably end its $600 billion bond purchase program in June as planned, but there is great uncertainty over how the Fed will shift towards a tighter monetary stance afterwards, traders say. The options trader adds selling demand for shorter-dated options by investors is detected but there are no major trades in the morning. Benchmark one-month at-the-money USD/JPY volatilities are at 10.70%/11.40%, compared with around 10.95% (mid-point) in late New York on Friday. ([email protected])
