Current pattern could appear similar to past one.

eliteincome,

first identify the trend,
second look for support and resistence
third make a trading plan
jump in in the direction of the trend...

good luck :-)

Hello US/JPY

If all this happens great for my existing longs
bit weary after all the retraces



5- Positioning is limited in USD/JPY, the recent rise having been driven by small amounts of real money buying. Hedge funds are not involved and options topside positioning is clearer.
In line with this view, UBS entered a fresh USD/JPY position as a trade recommendation from 103.00, targeting 105.00 initially and then 110.00, with a stop at 101.00.

.... and been long since Sunday, granted the positions are all very profitable for me, but the longer term charts are showing SERIOUS signs of reversals... This is a rare time when technical align with fundamentals ... there isnt much reason to be long YEN. IMHO this is a perfect storm for the YEN...

Yen bullish = usdjpy down .... Yen is bearish and it already reversed off all time highs... Lows for usdjpy

we have tested 101 2 times, I don´t think it will be tested a third time, but lets see ;-)

one possibillity is in the chart. Up first to test 104, then drop back 2 times to test kumo cloud. Good entry point for late buyers.

the usd has a bullish divergence on the daily usd/lfx. the usd/lfx is an index to measure the strenght or weakness of the usd against a basket of other currencys. there is also such an index for the yen, but its called lfx/jpy. So in the lfx/jpy chart it means, if price climbs higher, the yen is more bearish against other currencys.

Spot on the stock market: the s&p500 has a daily doji, spinning top or hig wave candle, so on monday there is a chance for an evening star. If a stock market correction is on the way, there will be yen buying and usd/jpy might drop again. Lets see how the market react on chinas export fall.

May way too early prediction is that it looks like the up move is exhausted or near exhaustion. I can see back to 101.8 before another move up. Of course I really wouldn't want to be shorting yen. However, what I see by my methodology looks down first.

So, down to 102.95......stall and decide to resume up again, or what I think will happen down to 102.7.......stall, back up to 102.95 then down to 102.31....stall then down to 101.8. At least as of right now that's how I see it playing out. Below 102.31 I might put a very small short to target 101.8 but I wont short before then.

bad china economic data over the weekend. JPY is an risk off currency, hence the drop in USD/Jpy.

I would not worry about it (unless I was short), looking for UJ to hit new highs by month end!

{quote} Stopped and again a confirmation for myself that newbie lessons like ascending wedge, channels, h&s ..etc are as stupid things as betting on red or black on casino, maybe yes, maybe no. Means no use for such things. Come back to my hard calculations with relation between price and timing. If a trader has not that, he could see if got chance in his own life to expect betting in trading. So, more seriously, according to Gann square, we should begin to see a long retrace, specially on time, for at least 36 trading hours. Price action shows...
Looks like Bear begin to work on UJ and my short on GJ at 172.80 begin to give some gain at before open. Let's see this week what could this pair has to offer to bear.
