Learning to be patient is much easier.
I'm still holding bro. But had I banked em and reloaded like my "instincts" told me to, I'd be much happier while being patient... LOL

Well yeah, if I could trade leveraging hindsight, I'd be moving the market by now with my volume.

Everyone would have made the perfect decisions if they could see the future.

Does anyone see a weekly RSI divergence?!? ...with the possibility of dropping to 146.50???
I see the Weekly 26 period RSI pulling downward. This would be forming the head and shoulders (I never care to talk/trade in regards to patterns but that is what is forming). Price did touch to close the gap for the right shoulder but it did not close...hence my concern. Pull up your weekly and check out the space of time from February to current.

I think the top is getting pretty top heavy for the time being and the back door is wide open. I like to use VWAP to establish long term points of control going back for two months. Going backwards there is very little support protecting bulls. Momentum downwards will take us to 146.50 is my call.

That's how I see it...maybe someone who is much better at Technical Analysis can offer a little insight.

Thanks,

sjc

Oh come on now. I'm not saying I can see the future but you have to admit when I posted that, I did say bank and reload. It wasn't hindsight then.

But you gotta admit, this is not a pretty picture right now....

All I can say Coondawg is you've come up with pretty much the same target I have. So either we're both right...or wrong.

Nothing wrong with this picture in my opinion. But I do get tired of the "I should have done this or that"... the more people regret the decisions they did or didn't make, the harder it is for you to go forward. Why think about what could have been if you can't change it? It's a very pointless and counter productive exercise.

Maybe I'm tired and cranky, or maybe I'm too jaded by these forums. I think some idiots on here have gotten to me today. I may need a little hiatus.

You're cranky...LOL

But I know what you mean. I'm still holding so obviously I still have faith in the position. If it came off as I "regret" not cashing them in then I perhaps I could have worded it better. I don't regret it, just would have been "happier" if I had and reloaded again. Who wouldn't?

I'll keep quiet now. lol

G'day All,

I'm an avid reader of the thread and am enjoying the many varying ideas and theories thrown to moot by one and all.

I've got a question about today's price drop from 151.1x to 148.1x. Is this 'swing', and 'retracement' up to 149.3x, now the latest swing to be used in terms of fibo calculations, or is it still a retracement of the last swing, from 146.4x up to 151.1x?

How far does a price movement against the trend have to go in order to be considered a swing rather than a retracement, if you know what I mean?

The first report I saw about that was 16 minutes ago. This has been rising steady for 3 hours. So I have no idea. Previous reports late last week and early this week have been saying the BoJ (and US) doesn't want run away decline in the yen going into the G20. Again, I have no idea.

My charts tell me we should see at least 147.80 to 146.50ish before any real take off. Time will tell.

Well the yen was rather steady until that blurb, and then apparently Lew said G-20 shouldn't target FX rates for competitive advantage. The yen retraced roughly 50% before continuing it's decline (which correlates to Geppy reaching the 50% Fib). It might continue downward. Yen is a trickster.

I am not sure it will revist anytime soon. Maybe go up to 23%Fib
