....Wow. Just Wow. This pair is so extremely overbought by intraday standards that it's not even funny. USD unemployment claims did nothing to damper the bullish momentum...
Its overbought like crazy on the 5 min, on the h1 I guess it's still got enough to go, if the numbers come out good till about 10ish EST, I'd say it'll bounce around there for some more in an uptrend fashion but eventually yeah it's going to drop, don't see anything else on the calendar after 10.

....Wow. Just Wow. This pair is so extremely overbought by intraday standards that it's not even funny. USD unemployment claims did nothing to damper the bullish momentum, and now we're dancing on 85-90 RSI levels in the 5 minute chart. Only one question: How much risk should I take at shorting the 108 mark?
108 round number is naturally a resistance by itself, plus other resistances make 108 a quite powerful number in overall. Shorting at 108 carries a nice ratio R/R (20-40pips SL) because tmr data may well support the move, which can drag the price down

200 sma on 4hr TF might provide some resistance.

Hello~~~
IMO I do believe that the pair will go according to this chart pattern
seemed to have broken out with a good push
strongly suggesting heading toward TP @ around 109.550

We've a minor resistance around 108.1 (probably going to be broken), followed by the 108.40/50 mark.

The reason as it turned out, was that the BOJ won't intervene for the moment, but the U.S. bonds and stocks are performing above expectations. We're going to see a correction before the market goes up again (current trend is bullish, seeing as how it's driven by recent data).

The only question is where does the correction end-personally, I'm looking for a bullish buy in somewhere around 15-25 pips below.

I'm also holding a small short, but I wouldn't bet on it to dip 30-40 pips when market sentiment is roaring for the dollar.

Short if you want, but I'd be very careful about your TP & SL if I were you.

Edit: I smell a bull trap as well. I wonder how many people will buy right now at around 108....

I don't know why I bother, or spend time reading this forum.. I don't know how many times I have read opinions and reviews by members of this forum about market calls that just confuse the shit out of me because they contradict my own calls, and prevent me from making money.

I had awesome positions @ 106.50, and 107.. all closed prematurely because of all the people screaming its going to tank, why its going to tank, etc etc...

I'm just as guilty for reading and believing everything here on this thread, I need to be more comfortable and confident with my own calls...

I can only suggest the same to everyone else...

/logging out, only to return to see the calender.

goodbye.

It is an opinion forum, not a trading instruction forum

UJ will continue to go 108.60. If that level is broken then we'll see 109 levels again.

Hi P

Sorry to hear that you closed good positions because of comments you read on this thread. I have had a look at where price is right now and indeed your account would have been screaming 'Thank you'.
You must realize that the market exists because people have different opinions and FF is such a place to voice them. Sometimes the consensus will align with your opinions and sometimes it wouldn't. When it aligns with your thoughts you feel epic and when it the other way you feel in the dumps.

Trade your own trade. Its your money. Follow your own trading plan at all times. If you blow your account doing that at least you blew it yourself and you know what to to do to improve. If you grow your account trading your own methods you feel epic and you will be able to do it again and again. If you manage to grow you account based on consensus you do not have a reproducible method.

Sorry for the lengthy writeup. I have been there before - many times
