You're not talking to yourself. Appreciate your input.
Am heading out, but will post a couple of ideas after that.

ps My chart close at 128.922
My Oanda chart closes @ 128.89, the posted one is MT4 closing an hour earlier on Friday but I use it only for charting.
My broker is Oanda.

Looks like I'm only talking to myself here, but hey nothing wrong with that. It clears my mind.

If you look at the 4 hr chart then the whole drop from 126.81 to 125.44 was nothing more than an normal bull flag.
But the effects should be reached by now.

So I favor a retrace to 1.272x at the moment but would prefer 126.65 at he next low point. I need to have a conference call with Yazumi and Noda about that.
I saw this formation form fairly fast and was really happy to get in on it considering it was the pound/yen! I have not traded this pair for months and now its fast moves are calling me back

I agree setting up the charts and going to keep it in my focus for now. It was actually my first bullish flag and seeing on the pound/yen made me even happier. Going to keep an eye to see if the speed keeps up!

Go for it, I've made killers in GJ and I've left it for months because yen was just boring at that moment.
But hey, its back in play now and I'm very happy about that.

Still hesitating to take trades in UJ though.
Last trade I took in UJ was long @ 76.50, it went down from there to 76.15 and I was happy to close when it got to 76.65 for 15 pip gain.
Shit could I know it would be trading 81 now?

One thing is for sure, yen is heavily manipulated at the moment, but lets take profit of that as far as we can!

Fxck Noda and Yazimu because they fuck us at the same time if they can get away with it.

I hope you are right pal, then extremely heavy short from there, and I mean $50 per pip if I'm there at the right time.

No doubt though I won't be there at that right time. Shit I can't spend 24/7 on this screen. I wish I could but ......................

just to let you know GBP is fundamentally a sell, they probably will lower rates soon.

Has anyone noticed that this major weekly trendline is being broken. If this week's candle closes about 129.50, I think we're in for some serious bull run. Just buy GJ and hold with tp at 140 or come back in a few months.

Ever heard of pull-backs? Your trendline has to be tested and rejected first before you can make such a statement.

You state in your profile that you never take advice blindly.
If so, please then don't give it blindly too.
Thanks.

I have several sell orders on this and it is falling already.Highly inflated.I believe this is partly due 7pm ET only Jap/Aus markets are open and Japs love damping JPY
I suspect once London opens price will come down even more. I expect around 127 next 12hrs

IF it's going to remain bullish, this is my take on GJ. It's now approaching the 131 area, being the weekly 100 and the 61.8 of the prior downmove. With all TFs being stretched, there's not much doubt (in my mind) that GJ will see a retracement starting there.

If it continues up following that retracement, the daily 800ema is sitting at 136 right now.

A retracement to the 125 area initially, following by the next retracement shown on the chart as wave (2) may, indeed, end up being effectively a first then second test of the famous trendline.
