... I am wondering, if rallies here can technically end as fast as they started. Sure, these are a bit different conditions than before, but here is the deal. Japan, although it has crap GDP, demographics, shut down those powerplants, contracting manufacturing,..... well, simply is in trouble, in current crisis struck world, still is kinda viewed as safe haven. So I am wondering what part of this rally is thanks to "safe haven seekers" who are fleeing because of Kim harassing up there. So, when he stops harassing, money could very well flow back. If combined with technical correction, it can be quite fast fall, and I dont want to be there. T

Hi Tom,
Just my technical view. take it in cosideration but pls follow your own rationale. Like cohiba I would suggest you treat all trades individually.

You will find that hatching often is not beneficial at all.

Can a "rally" end as quickly as it started - why not. I'd prefer to follow objectifiable signals rather than having expectations and hopes. Rather than getting in the red better close a trade in profit and re-enter once the conditions seem right again, even though you might have missed out on some pips in the end.

I'd expect you to have entered the trade with SL and a projected TP and an idea what invalidates the trade/ when to close it. I'd rather follow that than putting it in the hands of fate.

D1: Cautiously speaking and depending on the next few days D1 is showing bearish RSI divergence: 909x and 918x are very possible supports

W1, MN: Retracements to weekly 8940 and monthly 8510 are possible and required to invalidate bullish outlook for those timeframes.

Next levels up that I am watching on monthly TF are 101.2 and 105.5. Note we are close to the upper kumo, that is often pierced before PA retraces again to find new support. there is good momentum in the bull and the week long signal (weak tenkan kijun cross) was quite good - expressed by a steep and parallel tenkan and kijun line (highlighted yellow in monthly chart). This said the conditions for a continued bullish trend are good, but a retracement cannot be ruled out.

Thank you for your technical analysis. Nope I dont have TP, SL is set at BE. It was supposed to be long term floating hedge offseting USD strenght when another stage of European crisis comes. I didnt expect such a move and was expecting slow grinding up. But imo thanks to the events in North Korea, it took quite a fast speed and I am afraid same speed could be seen once it starts correcting. It is currently leveraged at 1,4:1, floating 4,4%. I feel I would be fool not to take at least partial as 4% is my monthly target. And thats why I am harassing your thread here. I have literally 0 experience trading UJ. This was my first trade and didnt went exactly as I ve thought. I think taking partial and deleveraging to 0,4:1 is good option now. I just need to pick target now.

So thanks and if you have more on the topic, I am one big ear (or eye? Dunno, just would like to read more),
