Yeah, they definitely aren't materializing much... but there hasn't been much follow through to the downside either
There's like almost no trading going on. But the pound just breached support and isn't looking healthy. Yen actually gained a bit last hour.

Yep, definitely leaves us with little action on geppy. However, I am seeing some MACD divergence on the 15min-1h TFs. We could be putting in a bottom here still. I added one at .05 but I'm not adding any more until we're at least above .50

I was/am tempted to as well. Last 30M showed more activity than the last 4 bars did so maybe a little late day action again. Still holding as of now.

Well, watching the 5M I added one at .07. I have tight stops so I'm only risking 1/3 of what I just banked this morning. For better or worse, let's see how it goes.

haha, glad you're enjoying it man. I'm in and out all day because I keep the tab up on my computer during the day. It definitely gives trading a more "office" feel and less of a solo adventure.

hahahaha!

This crap is crazy, and I've seen it before: lots of hype then disappointment.

But the BoJ has a lot on the line here, and I'm wondering if they don't just come out guns a blazin'.

I'd like to hold on to the longs I've put on this morning in hopes they put some distance between my entry and price (100-150 pips in profit?). If that can materialize, I'd take a gamble on holding through the conclusion of the meeting as the risk reward at that point would be quite good. e.g. I lose the 100 or so pips in profit on a disappointment, or make a couple hundred (or more) the other way.

We'll see, the next few days will definitely be interesting.

As we've discussed, that would be the perfect scenario to be sure. At 100-150 I'd cover mine by a few and not worry one bit about the outcome.

My biggest worry about this right now? The dam market (yen cross wise) stays like this until the announcement. While probably unlikely, It wouldn't be the first time I've seen two days of stall before a big event.

Definitely a possibility, but the good thing: we've already had a good week

No doubt bro

Actually regarding that news about the sell off. It makes perfect sense to me for the market to position itself in front of the "expected" news. In the case of the yen, buy the rumor, sell the news.

The odd thing to me is it "generally" likes the 50% of the last largest range from which to launch. If we assume that range is from the August 2009 high to the September 2011 low, 50% is 139.939 or roughly 100 pips below us now. That's pretty much why my last short target was 140.30ish figuring a TP just a bit above that.

So there is still today and tomorrow to reach that 50% and obviously, I now hope I'm 100% wrong...LOL

Looking at the 5min chart, I'd like to see price break the 200ema (yellow line).

It has been solid resistance and is where we failed this morning. Keep an eye on her!

Halfway.

Looking for the 55ema (green line) crossover to feel we've turned the corner.

how far could they take it up before they bring it back down or did we hit bottom? But i know albchr was hoping for 140.30...?

You should really read back a few pages. It'd answer your questions.
