Good morning HP... Just hang in there. Why buy the top? Especially in pre-London Frankie trade which typically moves counter to the London session? Unless of course you are a bit over-leveraged.
Hey PT,

I'm definitely not going to buy but I don't want to be short and have another wave up occur... Happened last week and am starting to see bullish momentum pick up for NZD, AUD, and EUR.

Don't want to chance it especially if we get another 300-400 pip rally in any of the above mentioned currency pairs...

Understood. IMO your NZD/JPY short is a good play. It's way overbought and due for a bit of a reversal as soon as USD/JPY starts consolidating... and I believe that consolidation will happen today.

Anyway, nothing wrong with being flat. Take a break buddy. It seems you need one. Remember the market bakes a new fresh loaf of bread every day.

I was actually short NZD/USD, but you're right, NZD/JPY is way overbought and is in need of some sort of correction.

Definitely need to take a break though... Hate seeing profits that I work hard for disappear due to bad timing and positioning. I guess that's the name of the game though. Can't win em all.

I am going to hold on to all my YEN crosses and see what is there next year and stay away from shorting AUD and NZD.

What do the good readers of Forexlive think?
USD/JPY at 83.86, EUR/JPY at 109.90. Barrier option interest at 84.00 and 110.00 respectively the next hurdles for the rampant yen bears.

Good morning Ken. Yes I believe that short Yen across the board is a good thing, but we are overdue for some consolidation. A nice wave of risk aversion will do it. Perhaps bad EZ PMI numbers couple with a Friday profit-taking might just set that in motion.

Also consider that the Yen rout is not only due to positioning, but also due to piggybackers. Those piggybackers will be unloading their Yen shorts before the weekend elections as they are only in it for the ride, and not the risk event itself. Also consider that those barriers will be defended (even though they will eventually fail)

Ahh my mistake. I thought it was NZD/JPY.
Anyway, whatever you choose to do, do it with conviction.

Morning PT,

Understood. Thanks for the reminder. I might close some to deleverge just in case we get a 300-400 pips whipsaw. But overall shorting YEN is the less worry for me anyway.

No problem.

If I choose to sit out I had better do it with conviction as well!

Probably just going to hold onto my E/A longs and sit out the rest of the month. Need to enjoy the holidays with as least stress as possible...

There's a free cheese for everyone if we come out alive, otherwise that's a small price to pay
