wow, volatility was much more than I expected today. Early in the day I was up 10k, then down 45k, now break even again. Unfortunately I dropt 1/5 long position at around the daily bottom, loaded up too early. Completely played today wrong. Hope other people did better.

IMHO, 115.10 becomes an important support level for the USDJPY, breaking which the pair can plunge to 114.60, 113.70 and 112.60 support levels.

Bulls look strong pushing up but not as strong as bears looked pushing down. Could go to 117ish, but will keep eye out for bearish reversal now or any new evidence Bulls are stronger...

Had a stop/reverse order at 116.20...looks like you were right about the .618 bounce...with Japan's economy not doing so hot, expect another big announcement from BOJ's emergency meeting tomorrow. I would look for 120 by the end of the week!
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Okay, sounds good, I was just looking at today if we can get past 117, but now Bulls taking a break, we will see. And hope you're end of week 120 happens

you still going short at 116.4-6 like said before or you change? Wonder if another pullback in store don't think so but would love to get more longs in.

Watching...

Not sure, but when I was posting my assumptions before, it was more of a "I think it'll play out like this" type of thing. So, I won't enter unless I actually see the price playing out like I anticipated. Right now, still bullish, consolidating, and at a key level. I think current consolidation will give some indication on whether bulls can ride this up more.

So, I'm bullish as long as price can stay above 116.43. If this level is bearishly rejected, then I may look at short position...

Add: Also, I think if this level is bullishly rejected, it should test 117ish area again, and maybe higher. But again, only assumption, we'll see how it plays out. But For me, I wouldn't be adding longs right now. But I'm intra-day, so no sure if my time frame is the same as yours... I'd probably wait for another pull-back to go long, either after it breaks current high, then pulls back, or if it rejects current high then pulls back...

oh no definitely not adding longs at this level would add lower on another pullback towards 115.5-115 level. Just wondering if you were shorting it I personally would not here but that's me.

Okay, yeah, once I start typing, I tend to go on an on and on : )

But the more I look at the chart, it seems clear to me right now that bulls have their target on 117ish area... So, not even thinking about short positions

However...

I'm still not convinced this bull run has enough steam to go too far. I will be looking for a pull back at some point.

Right now looks strong. But looks more like a corrective move, rather than a decisive directional move (at least to me)...

Edit:Would be surprised if it made it past 117 on this move up. And I do think 115ish are is very possible once it bounces off 117 area. Sorry for the rambling, but I was away from my computer, watching on my phone, and now getting back to a little better view/analysis...

Watching lower time frames now, and seeing a little too much hesitation. Went ahead and TP for this time around. Will watch to see what's next...
