I have 5 trades left all of them opened at different levels of $82, the lowest is $82.001 and the highest is $82.743 , but just one of them is a bit higher volume.

if your a scalper then yes maybe it was a mistake.

if your longer term you could still get in now if you wanted to.

If the candles break the Kumo at $82.30, I think we can swing again to $82.70 :>

No real headway made on the fiscal cliff the Abe effect is losing steam could be a deeper pullback coming especially with the market so short yen.

Hmm smoke and mirror if you ask me , the only thing that I'm watching until the elections is if BOJ makes an intervention, the fiscal cliff problem in US and also if the bears break the $81.85 point, a major resistance if you ask me !

I'm still looking to add long at 81.70 as I'm long from 82.00 but am aware there could be a bigger pullback if there is I will keep adding on the way down.80.00 will be a main area for me if it gets down there again.

When you say BOJ intervention I take it you mean more QE ? Not direct intervention in the market.

Yes, yes more QE and in my opinion is going to be after election, remember what I said regarding Abe? If he wins he will take all the glory for pushing hard to inflation and the "big pressure" that he will put on BOJ for more aggressive tactics in reaching that goal.

But he is already softening his stance on that as I said it could be a buy the rumour sell the fact if he does get elected.

Anyway interesting times I guess what is happening now shouldn't change my longer term bullish view for dollar yen.


Also a chance that the fed will ease with even more QE and we know the bank of japan cannot weaken the jpy like the fed can weaken the dollar.

I don't believe it , I just don't believe in this pullback and even if is a pullback it will mean more good openings for me because my margin level is at %900 so I have enough to open 3-4 more positions in cascade : $81.85, $80.25 , $79.70 , $78.15

I'm bullish as well at least till the elections at which point I'll see how the PA reacts then then I'll make a decision from there as what to do with my positions. I grabbed some at 82.00 have another order at 81.85 as well but I don't really see much more below that. With the fiscal cliff still looming I can't really see to big of a pull back. Liquidity seems very light & that generally keeps the markets up. I would guess its going to be a very bumpy road on the way up with jerky reactions every time fresh news hits the wire.

I know that is going to be bumpy, it has to be, because otherwise all the n0bs will stay in the same boat with the ones who know how to handle the longs and in trading also someone has to lose in order for others to win.
I just noticed that what is happening now is an accumulation like the one from 27th Nov to 29th when it started the upswing from $81.70 to $82.75, if my chart is correct in a few days we should see the USDJPY from that bottom at $81.95 to a new high for this period of $82.85 at least .

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm looking at Ichimoku and if the candles break the Kumo at $82.35, we will have enough power for a bigger swing up !
