i feel so stupid... the fall back to 98.95 was to the 76.4 retrace of 99.83 --> 95.78 move that started last week . totally made sense, so wrapped up in the tl pc forget to check the fib pc. note to self: focus.

175 pips by EOD? Big call. Unless something major happens I don't think there will be enough time at this current rate of climb. Times like these I wish I were a true psychic!

I also see significant resistance at 100.70 - 101.70 from a weekly and monthly perspective. However, price hasn't stopped at any other areas of resistance during the past 6 months or so. Refer to the monthly and weekly charts as I've drawn out some areas of support / resistance.

If we close above 101.70ish on a weekly basis then I see 110 as the next stop for USD/JPY.

1st Target: 100.70 - 101.70
2nd Target: 110.00

Obviously there will be buying and selling on the way to 110.00 depending on a persons trading style, but overall trend is definitely UP.

One thing we need to keep in mind is that even though areas of support / resistance exist, price action at those levels is the actual guide and tells us whether or not to Buy or Sell at those levels.

what a disappointing day again from NY traders... well, two scenarios over weekend:

1) gap up with 100 taken by banks - shorting through the gap down with no bottom in sight
2) gap down with eventual 100 next week

Does your broker allow going long in the same account (hedging)? Or, call options (with a broker like Interactive Brokers).

I hesitate to give advice given my numerous mistakes in the past. But the estimates I saw range from 110 to 130. If we get a bounce off 100 and back down to 99, I'd get out of a short. Or wait, the last quote on xe.com was only 99.50 You could possibly get out any time perhaps.

If you're not used to the leverage, you could always take a peek at ticker symbol DXJ in the stock market although this is not a recommendation. I'm not a broker or expert or anything really. (DISCLAIMER: None of this should be seen as investment advice.)

I'd like to buy at 98.25 -- last week's open price and the 38.2% retrace of last week's range.

brinksssssssss , wazzap man ? How are my long USDJPY buddies doing? Sorry for all my absence but the last 2 months were crazy like hell in my company and I didn't had time to post my charts ;D. Was such a crazy ride with those 2 falls from 96 to 92 and the last from 99 to 95 , I had to close some trades with minus on gold just before the big drop ( I don't know how exactly I saw that coming but I closed at $1580 ) so I can save my USDJPY longs.

I also think that the EURUSD / USDJPY will open with a GAP up because of the news from Italy, also Lagarde's comments regarding more QE and the approval for BOJ's policy will push USDJPY and other YEN crosses up this week .

Cheers and green pips to you all !

Misterspread good to hear from you glad your hanging in there.

Yep have been in and out of these yen pairs for the last few months and see no reason to change yet.

Not sure about a gap up at open though.I dont really see a reason why it would as most of the G20 stuff was released before the close on friday.

yes G20 meeting over, and it seems like everyone is supporting Japan to fight against inflation.
