Took a breakeven last night at 103.05 and now daily candle is another bearish engulf like last week. U/J 4hr trying to suck me in long again. I wish I was long this pair from better levels b/c this pair has just been so tough to add longs without going underwater for periods of time.

Hear you on that. Gotta just wait for nice size dips and wait for a good momentum play basically. I had a good one other night, entry at 101.85 or so... they will come, you just have to be patient... but sooner or later this thing is going to break 103.50 and head to 105+ and it'll probably go up real fast to 108-110. If only we knew when

Yeah, would be very nice to fall down to 102 then get some momentum, would make for a nice opportunity

Took off some longs from 101.80 pre NFP at 103.30 yesterday, with today's pull back to 102.6x i added at 102.84 but I am getting a bet concerned that we haven't bounced yet. This thing usually doesn't stay down for long if its going to continue higher. Guess a range has now been set between 101.80-103.30, which seems to coincide with SPX 1780-1810.

This equities correlation is seriously a concern, also there's the ridiculously short JPY positioning. This thing could pull a clean out at any moment. My average is currently 102.62, have taken some decent profits since NFP and I am thinking that equities may pull back and take U/J down and away from that weekly resistance at 103. THat would make for an ugly weekly chart, but may send price back towards 101.20.

For now I am putting a stop below 102.50 which is last weeks weekly open, a weekly bearish engulfment candle would be nasty at these levels.

For real. This action in /ES since the bell has been wild as well.

Edit: U/J looks bad. Time for another wave down.

The two are negatively correlated. Buy equity with Currency.. Sell equity, gain currency.

{quote} You must not like what the 4 hour chart has looked like for the last month. We had a pull back on 12/03 - 12/05 and now I expect it to test 103.37 and breach it. {image}
We hit it and pulled back after.
