99.50 seems to be a good long entry point from a risk/reward perspective.

CHF and JPY are becoming stronger with the choppy down moves starting in the stock markets but while i expect EURCHF to test the 1.20 barrier I think USDJPY will be quite well supported around 100.00.

101.0x fib 50% holds for now.
becareful jpy likes to strengthen big on afternoons.
bad data from US when FED has started tapering leaves doubts on usd. now only remains to see if BOJ talks of tapering to see usd/jpy down to 0.9xxx in matter of hours.

target 1: 101.225 target 2: 100.60
Target one hit, there's enough strength that i wont be taking any profits until target 2. Maybe not even then, bears are butt raping the bulls hardcore style.

Price action is screaming down. Not a bull in sight.

Where you looking at fib levels on the weekly? I see some support at 101, but it could drop to 100.

Hello US/JPY

YEN Masters are hard core gamblers

they will be back to light up the charts

FXCM

Wow. There is heavy short-term (1wk) $USDJPY option interest between 102 and 106. Lots of calls from 105.50 to 108.50. Who is buying that?

Further to my last chart a week ago here is the latest overlay of the Japanese Banks /USD/JPY (left hand scale).
For my money it still points to a lower USD/JPY and I will stay short this pair plus the NZD/JPY.
The positioning numbers from a major German bank point to a much reduced long position however I will stick with the shorts until I see more of a panic - on which I'll close...

I have netted about 80 pips so far and have taking some profits. Hows everyone doing?


Still holding all of my 104.30 shorts.

Very close to my target 100-101 range. Will close half of the position around 100.30. I was expecting 400-500 pips till end of March. That was way fast. A sign of strong bear market. I decided to hold other half of my positions by moving my SL to 103.50. My SL will move down as long as bearish stock market trend continues and UJ continues to go down.
