{quote} U R brave! What's your time-frame/expectations? I think we retest the highs on RUT and Nas but then it could go poof!
I have no profit target...except for I believe a new weekly high is nearly a foregone conclusion. Today's low wasn't even a 38.2% weekly retracement and I believe that less retrace = more power to the upside. I was thinking we'd get a stronger close, but instead we got just more sideways. I think the weekly low has been put in today so my new stop is just below today's low.

I just see a very low risk opportunity with monthly/weekly/daily timeframes all green. Similar look with U/J.

I broadly agree with everything you say - wrt SPX at least. On USDJPY, though, I disagree, although I do think we'll see a fakeout on that as well.
I have no clue what I'm talking about.

Well maybe the U/J fakeout was Thursday last week. Between U/J and SPX, I feel more confident long SPX. On the other hand U/J has only been going up for a year and great trends will last longer than a year. Looking at the monthly chart there is no indication that the U/J carry trade is weakening.

Now that my daily candle is closed, I could see another drop to 99, but much more upside potential than downside currently.

Here is a contrarian indicator that I watch for kicks...

Price usually goes where the orders are and if you hit cumulative you'll see there are much more sell orders above than buy orders below. More retail is also short U/J below current price than long.

Good luck sellers. Every single timeframe is saying buy and market is moving very fast.

I don't set price targets, but 101 is not out of the realm of possibility this week.

The option market is currently pricing those chances at approximately 10% between now and Friday afternoon. It seems like its only 150 pips, which is true, but those are a “hard” 150 to make. The path of lesser resistance is downwards, the same move to about 98.00 is priced at approximately 17%.

I've decided to bracket trade this with shorts. My projected s/l isn't that far so it makes it a low risk trade for me.


Shorts in 99.471.

If it fails then I'll have confirmation for the bull period.

S/L 100.60

Previous 1hr low was breached, but I gave it its full hour. Looks like a big bear trap. 1hr left in my 4hr candle so possible to see some solid buying continuation from last hours close.
