I missed out a few pips! Closed out around 99.67 and it's now 99.7 it might be a few pips but damnnit every single pip/pipette counts right here.

Daily candle looks bullish, but I'm not really in a huge rush to buy anymore. The reason for that is b/c of the 1hr and 4hr charts looking a bit messy. Price action was moving so smoothly that I was pretty surprised to see my add from last night taken out at breakeven and price to chop around for 12+ hours.

The daily Fib levels I have are 99.52, 99.44, and 99.36 for the 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracements respectively. I'm still holding long and moving stop up to 99.29.

Article leaning towards to bull case for Yen. I don't use trendlines because everyone draws them a bit differently, but I'm keeping an open mind to either direction.

This is interesting.

Especially this quote "Now here’s the thing. When technicians look at these charts, we’re trained to presume that the consolidation will eventually breakout in the direction of the underlying trend, which in these two cases would be to the upside of course. But it’s not just us in the chart community, the fundamental guys are all over this one as well. In fact, I can’t find a single person that doesn’t think these two charts break out to the upside. It’s almost like blasphemy if I bring up even the possibility of a sell-off in Japanese Stocks or a rally in Yen."

This is one of the reasons I'm selling this triangle. Too many "IT'S A BUY, HOW CAN YOU NOT TELL?"

Sellers at it early... 5min/15min close below 50% daily Fib.

Nice setup on daily chart.... but too early to tell

To me H4 seems a bit a flag like consolidation atm, thinking about to get back in with half size

Quoting seandean
{quote} 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%.
Friday afternoon will not see anything beyond 99.79. That resistance level should remain firm for a few weeks to come.

You ASSUME a 5th wave extension - as would anyone with a bullish expectation.

But what if there's no wave 5??? What if 99.3/4 gives way?

Or maybe you just counted wrong!

Now, let me think ... if there was no wave 5 ...oh, that would possibly suggest a C wave. How would that look on your bullish wave count?

We are discussing 2 options, first chart bearish second chart bullish.
if we see 5.wave (new high) on my before post chart (hourly chart) we will have second bullish chart confirmation.

As a confirmed Yen-bear I would like to point out the following.

Yesterday's tickle at 99.80 can be viewed as confirmation of the down-trend drawn from July 7th through the high of September 11th.
We need to see 99.80 broken convincingly before screaming to the hilltops.

On this basis I just cancelled my long order entry @ 99.40.

Another point to consider is that because UJ has rattled around inside this triangle since at least 7th July any breakout is unlikely to carry much momentum.

The caveat to that is that any significant news item will do it. Another tsunami god forbid, or some other catastrophe such as the FED increasing QE.

Thank you - it's just that you posted one view only which was a little presumptuous. Anyway, we will see over the next few hours.

Best wishes

It's rallying right now. Doesn't go upwards anymore. 100 doesn't look possible this weak. Should buy or sell?

Someone give some advice.
