And... touchdown! +50 pips!

Thank you Bank of Japan, thank you Tokyo. Now I will just liquidate half of my positions and trail the stop.

Yes, indeed, go for it. It's about lunch time at the BOJ. They often pause for lunch (even during interventions!!!)

Sorry about your loss. If I hadn't been out to dinner with my bf, I would've been in the same situation as you, would've shorted before the intervention and be caught with a 130+ pip loss. There was a short signal given on my chart and nobody could've forseen the intervention today. There have been talks about intervention for months but nothing was done until today.

I am sure you would recover in no time. Good luck!

Sincerely sorry for your loss Whatfx, I feel your pain.

The YEN can stay quiet for a long long time, but when it moves it REALLY moves, especially when the all mighty Bank Of Japan is behind the move.

Buy hey, this is what trading is all about, you win some, you lose some, but you keep fighting until the end.

80 pips is small. You should reduce your position size next time if 80 pips is hard to swallow...

hi

this may sound strange but i rarely take losses of such high pips. my losses dont usually exceed 20 pips. so this huge move came as a shock. i profit consistently on a daily basis, hence this loss was a huge blow to me.

off to sleep now. good luck to all.

In my opinion, the next BUY point for the USD/JPY is around 78.50, for those traders who still want to participate in that (UP) move.

As always, trade at your own risk.

BOJ warned the market they would intervene after August 2nd. It's been all over the news for a week. Everyone was expecting it.

As a trader, it pays to keep up on current events.

Well charts showed double bottom at 76.5

I respect technical analysis and kept alerting that UJ bottom formation is over

Lets all ride the trend upwards

London, Zurich and Frankfurt traders will take over in a few hours and then we will probably see some immediate profit taking on the USD/JPY, so let's see...

Don't think the uptrend will stop until it hits 80. And then it's going to be up to the traders.

damn i closed my longs too early at first pullback.. oh well.. better wait until after NFP for a better entry....

The USD/JPY has now moved over 200 pips with virtually no retracement. (Long) European traders will soon see this move while having coffee and quickly take their profits, at least partially.

NFP - Non farm payrolls, due out on US Friday morning. Apart from interventions, the biggest market mover on forex.
