I like the use of the black stochastic you have. if it stays high like that , every time the green stochastic goes down to the bottom , for sure it will rise back up to the black stochastic again...............

{quote} Friday can be a good trading day b/c its the close of weekly candles like Nov 22 this year was a great buy at 101 on the dip. I'm not really sure if this is a strong trend. As a stock trader as well, I've got to say that this had been very crappy momentum up & was expecting to be where we are now 3 weeks ago. We've now gone up 8 weeks in a row so may be a bit of a coincidence if we fall next week... because the run up from <80 was 8 consecutive green months. Charts are still saying buy, but I'm being cautious. Should next week sell off,...
You're not sure if this is a strong trend? Hahaha. That's a good one. As far as I can tell this is the absolute strongest trend of all right now. Maybe with exception of global stock markets, especially the US.

I think I found your Stoc stack indicator, but using the ma that you show, mine does not look the same. What are your settings?

Last weeks close above the previous May high suggests to me that it will test 105.00 before a significant pullback. Let's see what happens when/if it tests that previous resistance at 103.73.

Yeah that is what I'm saying. While I have managed to be long for a good chunk of this U/J move, it has been very hard to add in aggressively. So far this month, U/J has only gone up 150 pips after a great November that seemed to be the breakout.

Gap down to 104 tonight. This to me in a warning sign b/c I'd prefer a open at 104.15, so that a move down to 104 could mean just a daily wick off the round number. Watch 104.25 (the 50% Fib of Friday) for sellers.

Maybe there won't be...but I've never really bought into the idea that markets shouldn't be traded around holidays b/c of light volume. Last year around this time was the start of major trends in /ES and U/J.

Agreed. You just have to look at the charts to see some pretty big moves this time of year.

Good morning! I don't know about you guys but imho the fact that it opened and closed above 104 over the weekends shows its not ready to move below 104 as yet until it hits higher resistance. What are your thoughts?
Never let success get to your head because the market will punish you

I had some great high probability set ups to add longs at 102.50 and 102.90. But I see what you're saying and i would warmly welcome any UJ sell offs for more areas to take intraday long set ups.

USDJPY Daily Outlook for 23rd December 2013 (Monday)
**this is my personal favorite setup for the week**
Daily Chart
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ek7Zp4TBK9...2-23_00-09.jpg


http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DGD2FQGs56...2-23_00-09.jpg





  1. We are trading within the 104's area which is not a strong support
  2. We expect the market to test the resistance in the near term.








Hourly Chart
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SGwCNxssf-...2-23_00-09.jpg





  1. Fell of a rising wedge and was according to my analysis last Friday
  2. I hope for market to go down to the blue area which is my demand level (50% fib retrace)which looks attractive as we haven't retested this area as an support after breakout to the 104's






Outlook Trade opportunity
Two trading opportunity here, my forecast is for price to go down to test the 50% retrace at 103.550 near term. So i will have a buy limit at that area.
If market retraces back up to around 104.32 before hitting my forecast area, i will be shorting from there down to potentially my target area and taking partial profits on the way
#1 - Short at 104.32 (only if prices have not reached my forecast of 103.550) - Target to 103.550 while taking partial profits on the way and Break even for a risk free trade)
#2 - Long at 103.550 for initial 20pips profit take majority of position off, and leave small portion for bigger trend continuation to the upside.


Risk Level Low

Only the strong survives!

Looks like a nice bounce here off 38.2% (103.82) weekly Fib. This needs to hold in NY session.
