long 98.93.Mrs trend is bringing cup of tea to ABE.
yes. that's my base case too... there are technical factors at work, but i don't think they're strong enough to overcome abe's plans. having secured the upper house, and wanting a weaker yen, he will now make it so.

A little lookout for next week, we're still in the midst of a pennant. Technically could still go either way.

Weekly chart outlook

Still higher and higher lowers. Recently pullback still forming an bull flag. A close below 94 will signal reverse of bullish momentum. Break above bull flag should at least yield 105.

NZD/JPY printing new lows as new week starts.

U/J still has some downside potential before BoJ (at least thats what I hope.)
my aim is longs from 96.800-97.200

{quote} SL too tight?
Yeah today's high nearly triggered it. But its ok, if 99.18 breaks, 99.25-99.60 is in view

But like you said in your other post also, downside potential till BOJ?

I'll try to go long after BoJ,
I don't carry positions...

I just trade the price action/reaction after news.

Feels safer, I can snipe great prices and ofc less stressful.

Well I f'd that up by about a pip and a half. Shoulda kept the s/l where it was at -4 pips instead of b/e. Of well. Waiting for the next opportunity.
