Just a quickie (apologies for all the lines, most are irrelevant to this) - in reference to my earlier chart today - TILTS - I might have my required further upward tilt.
This is an experiment to see if I can achieve something I've never managed to do: predict on the hints the formation of new fork & required drop. These hints always appear beforehand, the blue line is parallel. I've joined 1-3 as the demarcation of the median line, and I'm reasonably happy with the current down trend nesting into its Fib behaviour. Need the price to move downward,the lower edge of the previous fork to break, (the red line), and a bounce to occur at C back to the ML.

This is pushing the boat out a bit, and can be inadvisable to trade this yet, as Fib retracements often have marked confluence.

In a few hours we might get further confirmation as the ML of the new fork acts as resistance, trapping the price at it's approx current level, then pushing it down.

We shall see.

If you draw a trendline up from the low of July 11th, through the low of July 16th, ...price has just penetrated that line.
Admittedly 99.50 is a support, but that has also failed before, July 10th for instance.
Price could go either way from here.

yeah...price broke down from the wedge...I will give it some time and see if it can pop back above the line...if not...a shorting we will go

also...USD is weak across the board...seems like it will continue...any reason anyone can see USD getting stronger short term...do tell

Still holding this short since this morning. Looking for a strong Yen during the Asian session. I've moved my stop loss 10 pips closer to 99.75.

Closed the other half around 99.4

Went long at 99.43. Stop loss at 99.1.

Looking for a short term spike up to 99.8 to close half the position. Then gonna see how price reacts at 100.

according to open interest (oanda, myfxbook etc) everybody is buying usd/jpy, it means that it would be more wise to sell on corrections) with stop loss, of course!

If only I could do that every day...

I closed out my entire position around 99.8 since I was at work and wasn't able to babysit the trade.

I might be taking a small long at 99.86 as it looks like we've got a continuation pattern setting up, and I suspect the NY session might push us through 100. I'm not quite sure yet though.

I think now will touch 99,6 (that is 23,6 fib retracement from yesterday) and then go again up...touching 100 by the end of the day.

What do you think?

Trying another long? After we just fell straight back to support?

...I'll be looking for a short set-up.
