Ar certain times a pair becomes a technical play and others it becomes a fundamental play. One of the easiest mistakes to make is to not being able to identify which is happening when. This pair is a pure fundamental play at this stage. Trying to use technical indicators that work during ranging market on something that is trending fundamentally can only lead to lost opportunities. The pullbacks will be there but it can be a b!*ch to time those. I trade based on technicals alone but for me this one is a real keeper. One I have seen in a long time.
The price will go where it has to go.

I'd rather miss a technical trade in line with fundamentals than just buy anywhere based on fundamentals.

Not trading is a position.

i agree with you on this, sometimes it's fundamental and sometimes it's technical. looking at all TFs, the sentiment is still long usd. it will take time for jpy to recover, after all, bank governor wants cheap yen to boost economy. their target is 2% inflation, and to achieve that they need weaker yean, no...???

I know there are still a couple of hours to go, but the daily candle appears to be forming a bullish hammer.....

I longed this yesterday, my stop was at 108.24. I went to sleep last night and this came within like a half pip of my stop and then shot up. You should see this chart it looks it bounced off my stop on the daily chart lol.

Also yesterday I shorted the aussie, on that my stop was at .8929, it came within 3 pips of that one also, before reversing.

Talk about good stop placement, eh?

Yep, I think you are right. Whoever are not already long probably an opportunity to go long on a dip.

Good call. Price is more or less trapped between 108.50 and 109.45 range.

Yup. I was eating dinner when bells rang in my trader. I got in a small short at 108.650 and sold at 108.500. But still...a drop from 108.8 to 108.5 in 25 minutes? That was one big short sale.

Strong sell off before the Tokyo session, but bounced back quickly at open. Let's see if we get another bearish European session.

I have a feeling the bears will try and test the 108.3 mark once more-15min, 30min, and hourly chart indicates a downward movement.

We've a possible chance to load longs around 108.3, but the 180 line better hold-that's probably one of my main SL margins (actual support is a bit lower, but whole number prices always tended to be good indicators).

The major USD/JPY movement will probably happen when I'm asleep.....better pay attention to my TP & SL margins.

When will you load longs? 108.35? 108.3? 108.25?

Also, does anyone think we'll not reach 108.3 and instead have a rebound around 108.5?

i think maybe in US session, and with a good new homes sales report, we should get back some bullish momentum, but we will need a bit more to get us past this 109.2 point, then on Thurs. we have unemployment claims and if that shows us good stuff, that might be able to push us through, but with geopolitical BS going on, i dont know.. i see this going back down testing 108.2 again;without good data next 2 days, i could see this break through 108 and hopefully see some buying action at the 107.9 mark, anything lower then that im going to have to eat my losses,

The pair confirmed a positive closing last night despite a drop below 108,30 forming even a positive day reversal but only a daily closing tonight above 109,01 will support a resumption of the move up! The indicators of the daily chart are still well positive but those of the s/t charts are negative suggesting further consolidation/ correction with still the 200 hours line at 108,10 the attraction! Only an hourly closing above 109,00 will resume the move up confirming a positive reversal with the target now only at 109,96! We stay short (108.82) waiting for a possible test of the 200 hours line; we buy a 108,15 undershooting but we avoid a firm bid!!
