Very nice movements in range 77.92 - 78.80 .. up and down around 10 times .. My strategy is to buy dips and sell highs .. im mainly short at this pair until levels 76.5, if we will touch it i will start with bigger buying, because i think that around 75.50 - 75.80 could BOJ intervene like several times before.
This range ain't gonna last much longer. Don't think it's going to 76.50 either, but it definitely ain't gonna be bouncing around in a tight range like that long enough to make a strategy out of it.

It actually went up to 78 over the weekends for some reason.

Possibly back testing this important trendline.

closing above 78.80 might end consolidation and open targets towards 80.60 and later towards 84.20 imo

Yeah, Bear, we're basically at a major low right now with a lot of already tested areas above which should mean not much resistance. I'm seeing previously tested areas all the way to 110.00!!

now it seems that USD/JPY is testing the 79.00/79.10 resistance. I am wondering if I should hold my short position. From the 4h chart I see a up channel. However it is time for a retracement. any suggestions??

While anything can happen, there are reported large buy stops above 79.2. A break there could mean an impulsive upmove. This thing can move a long way without retracement (look at the move 76~84 a few months ago without any significant retrace).

I made my opinion about that in G/J thread, bulish signs on h4 are really strong now.

I agree re GJ. It's moved above and holding above the daily 50ema and 50 sma. I expect 124 to break, with next major resistance up at 125.6~7 .

it is still not clear whether the "major support/resistance" 78.70 is break or not.

Well this is disappointing.

I was expecting after the fake drop and the final break of that support and resistance level that it would hold now as support and the sky would be the limit. I wanted to see alot more strength here, not this.

Can't trust anything in this game.

The drop was hard, but still bulls are in favor, they defended 78.80 for now, even though the data was bad. I think that shows their strenght.

closing the day above 78.80 would give bulls some air imo

Agree, the drop made some space for new buyers and thos who thought that the cross was overbought for the moment, now closing over 78.80 would be a sign for them that the price still can go up.

Not to mention closing above 79.00

Attention starting to be turned to buying this pair.
Target 2 almost attained here. US yields continue to gring towards 2.0% with a break of 1.8 today. Usd/Jpy will continue to follow those yields. After target 2 hits I have 79.29 then 79.68 with both areas providing some potential resistence. Target 3 is 79.64 then next target 80.07. Stops are at break even
Don't follow me! You can and most likely will LOSE all your money!!!!

As i said earlier, still in bullish mood, the drop from bad data couldn't stop the price for longer, what is more, as we can see from 1 h chart, the volumen on the drop was lower than in the first 1h bar after it, which moved the price up - that mean bulls are much stronger and ready to move the price further up.

Some charts with broken supports(blue major downtrend line, 200 ema on 4h and 38.2 fibo ret lvl from 80.60) and future resistances
