looks like it's making intentional effort to re-enter main channel from 12/13... (may hit R2 at 80.75) ...means new price floor will be well above 88.40

(edit: R2 now done)

the 3 wave up move to R2 didn't do it... apparently someone is still trying to short this thing!!!!!!!

i might be wrong about the floor thing. maybe we will have series of uninterrupted upthrusts?

have a limited repertoire of tricks, but once or twice year i see a series of super-neat price floors (bear traps i assume) and got in at the second one (87.725)... from there on, easy to see what happens --- didn't expect such long collection of short suckers followed by spike to R2 (from ytrd) though

this krazy run-up might actually stick: Abe cleverly did the "employment targeting" thing this afternoon (no more accusations of merchantilism) which kicked .uj up a few notches... being clever this way, they might scare it all the way to 90 without spending a cent!

then... they could do the SNB "line in the sand" thing...unlimited ccy and bond buying, neg interest rates, etc.

it might never come back down

i feel a short but sweet down move coming, so closed long at BE


time to observe and perhaps re-enter at a better price. need for market to move though otherwise off to bed !!

It's getting to the point now where 90.00 might not mean as much as people think, smart money will decide where the price stops & if they want it to go higher than 90.00 then it will. Abe is doing a wonderful job of playing the media.

i agree... the 90 fig was something thrown out by a few Japanese businessmen last week.

i am amazed there are still people going short .uj (well there are on the EUR/USD thread --- maybe they should visit this thread!) ...it's ripping everyone who's tried to short it to shreds

wherever it goes, the example set by the SNB changes everything from where i stand ... it doesn't necessarily have to retrace anymore

simple economics: if you want to fight unemployment, you need to be more competitive! how? lowering the prices of exports, the only way to do it is...weaking the currency. So ... don't know how can be people shorting
