I have a down-channel with lower bound 96.65
I think it was just broken.
In which case I have 95 as the next test
I'm so sorry if I alienate some of you

Downtrend seems to be over in short term. Will look to buy dips. Hoping to go long 96-96.25 sometime in next hours, if can we retouch those levels tonight. Should have had a buy stop at 95.90

I think 97.15 is a good area to try short, with s/l at 97.75. and look down to 93.75 area.

I'm long with Tp at 97.15. I'm thinking the price could go in the 97.15-60 zone before going down again

Agree. But it's so weak right now, hardly moving up when it does. I'd love to see 97.50 today.

Right now we are sitting on the historically important level of 96 - 97 which you can see if you check the daily charts of 2008 to 2009 - around there. I like to identify these levels and look at what the hourly did. Sometimes price action can narrow down these areas and give us some good trades.

This is a daily chart with a pretty good diamond formation. Is it a diamond reversal pattern or a continuation pattern? What I like about this is it sits on the 38% retracement of the 2007 - 2011 drop. Today we are trading off of yesterday's bullish candle which also sits on a 68% fib level (the diamond) which coincides with a March 2013 high of 96.70.

Oh, and hello daily 200sma very close by. Here is the chart:

Habi, if you tell me why you think it will go to 94 and post a chart to back it up then I will offer you my opinion.

I have longed USD/JPY.

Below please find two attached charts.

I believe Nikkei has reached heavy support.

USDX near or at the support lines.

Hoping for at least some bounce.

Agree. I was hoping for some profit taking today but until now it seems bear presure is still very strong. If Nikkey breaks critical suport i aspect another down sesion

If Nikkey really brakes that support line we will have a huge movement down.

Thanks Libertas. I obviously freaked out Habi by asking a question but anyway, here's my short term view of the reverse head and shoulders and, if it plays out, the overhead resistance...
