You know full well that news events and all sorts of things drive the market, but technicals are but a representation of all those events. News events are not essentially "fundamentals", but are in essence just that ... news that impacts peoples' expectations, emotions etc etc.

Fundamentals relate to the perceived value of a currency and are driven by that country's economic/political and social standing and also, obviously, by interest rates which may be a reflection of all those things thrown together.

Fundamentals will drive the long term (year/multi year/decadal) value. But people always seem to confuse fundamentals with plain and simple short term news. The yen trading for long periods at 50 or 250 is fundamentals. A USDJPY spike down from 100 to 50 for a few minutes may have nothing whatsoever to do with fundamentals.

My view is that technicals normally rule but they follow fundamentals over the long term.

On other matters, all I know is that GJ fell out of its long term rising trendline/support (whatever you want to call it) and was rejected after trying to break in. This consolidation may be the prelude for another attempt north ... or it may fall below support now about 40 pips below us. I still suspect the former.

But, when you find out what's going on, be sure to tell us!

Oooh okay. I see that now. I just checked FF and I see that it was a high impact event. I've noticed that FF labels it like that which I think is cool, but I've never paid any attention to it and I guess I need to... at least to the high impact events.

Thanks. That actually answers a few of the questions I've had. I guess that spike down was triggered by Chinese Trade Balance, which came in 0.7B less than expected, so that makes sense. But I went back in time to the top of the hour and it seems like the down move started a little before the actual top of the hour. Which leads me to believe that either 1) some people had exclusive, privileged, or early access to the information, 2) my broker has a delayed data feed whether intentional or not it would still suck, or 3) the market started to anticipate the 0.7B shortfall in the trade balance ahead of the release.

Whatever the reasons, it seems we are right back into the 150.189 to 150.316 range that I drew earlier. I wouldn't be surprised to see a pullback from current levels, but I'll probably hold on tight because we should be header higher soon imo. If we don't have a pullback from current levels, even better.

I am really frustrated with how I've been trading lately and maybe starting to learn the fundamentals (literally, the fundamentals, like this Chinese news release), maybe that would be the difference for me. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thank you Mpt. That was a perfect answer. I am going to hold on to this information from now on. I've always wondered about this and your answer makes so much sense. I guess the "fundamentals" is something I can no longer avoid.

Hey dudes

Very important levels have now been taken out IMO. If daily S3 and weekly 23.6 fib gets taken out then 147 would be my next target.

I have had a very bullish opinion even with all the weak bars coming out but I am more bearish on my view now.

I have 148.2 as a strong support level

I believe we are still going down. Question is, what is acceptable as the bottom.

Hey dudes

Got a small open short in play - however I am giving up scalping for a while and referring back to the larger time frames for all my trades again as of now as i've never been one for scalping but always tempted to when this pair plays this way.


Anyway, i've made a clearer chart as you can see, we are still currently in an uptrend based on the daily TF however looking at the 4HR and 1HR charts only, since the beginning of May, we have been in a downward move. Whether this is just a big pull back for a bigger move up or not, it is clear we are moving downwards.

Last 4 attempts to break higher have failed, last 3 attempts to go lower have been successful.

How I see it now is that the next leg down on the 4HR needs to break below 147-146.8 and if it makes it to 145.82 then it would be a nice bounce from there IF that level holds. If on the other end it doesn't hold after a small pullback then (a long shot) but we would be looking at the low 140s where I see the next major support holding on the weekly.

If none of the above takes place and we break and close above 153.4 then 157.1 would be my next major resistance before deciding where it goes

I can see why you guys think 147.00 is a good target, but I'm not so sure if we're going to get there. Bernanke has spoken, it was pretty friggin volatile, but it seems to be settling down a bit now and I am bullish at least in the short-term.


I just started using Fibonnaci in my analysis and it looks like we're right there testing the 50% level. It's a real battle right here, so you have to keep a close eye on it.

Hey all!

Back from vacation and kinda sorta starting to get caught up with work, the house (still half unpacked), and now dealing with wedding planning. Yup, the proposal went flawlessly... woot woot!

I've been trading a bit while gone and this week. Today sure was volatile, but I stayed away from the screens for the most part. I've got some long Geppy that's in the money, but she's been pretty finicky.

A few hours ago, I was convinced that GJ was bearish, and that it would, over the next few days, fall below 147 and find final support in the 144 area (daily 200) or thereabouts.

Looking at a GJ chart, you would say it's in a triangle and that, once it falls below 148.7, it will have difficulty getting back in.

BUT, the descending price that LOOKS to be in a wedge is a bit suss. There is support at around 147.9/148.1~3 that may stop it if it falls below the black triangular pattern. If it only retests the black triangle bottom or even just its break out area and fails at that point, then it should turn down to become very bearish.

However, GJ has done this so many times ... it starts out looking like a small bearish triangle, but finds new support and ends up being a bigger triangle.

I think the pink coloured box area is the key.

I had shorts earlier this week with TP at 148.80 but I got antsy yesterday and cut them too early. I'm long now from a bit lower, and I think we go higher... gotta stay patient though
