there won't be a final top until japanese want their money more valuable.

major bull trend started with abenomics around 79.63 breakout (2012-11)
2 years since thn.

I guess it would take another 2 years before we see a bear trend

The only day you need to know for trading the USD/JPY this week: WEDNESDAY.

We're seeing a press conference from Bank of Japan and a meeting from U.S. FOMC. Those two will move markets for sure.

I'd say that the press conference of the BOJ would favor bulls for USD/JPY (Japan just sank to technical recession).

I don't know about the FOMC, however.

Oh, and a shout out to Mr. Abe Shinzo! Thank you for fucking up Japan's economy! Three cheers to the man who helps me keep the food on my table!

BOJ easy to guess


FOMC will give nice entry opportunity,
ready your guns.

Low volatility this year, pretty heartbreaking...

Anyone think the GBP/JPY will test the 183.00/.30 levels before Wednesday?

I have a small long poised for intraday profit. It'd be a shame to earn $0 during the morning trading times, when market is most volatile.

intraday:
GBP/USD weak
USD/JPY weak

eliminate USD from both pairs, take a guess

BoJ conf. is not on wednesday,

Ah. Sorry about that There's two reasons: it's listed as tentative (so im partly guessing), and I'm looking at it from my time zone. By Tokyo time, I guess you'd be right.

I went long when I BE on short position, but then went short again from 117.

Something to think about - anyone who went short the first time it went 117ish still would have not been stopped out, and now getting pushed down again. Price could not make it 1 pip above the last run up.

So, for me, last night's little spike up to 117.04 did not change my target of 115.32. I'd need to see a strong reversal to negate this view...

Or if Bulls can make it up past the 50% retracement level of this current move down from 117??

Perfect place for extremely low risk short trade at current level (116.68) with a few pips SL...

Edit: I will say this, in favor of bulls - this recent bear slam down from 117.04 was not as strong as the last one. Next time this thing turns around and heads up, we'll see a new high. Pick your target to buy and hold. But right now, my opinion is that SL needs to be at 115 or below if you are holding long term

only n00bs go short on this pair... unless you want to scalp quick 10-20 pips... which i won't advice because this pair is headed one way and it's that's upward!!

Who's defend 117+ area? BOJ?
3 times from last friday hold
isn't a good sign for Bulls, Imo
maybe we will see 114 this week
and there is always a gap on 112

Anyone who thinks this or any pair can only go in one direction, be prepared to lose money. Or you'd better have a wide enough SL and the emotional fortitude to watch your account in drawdown for extended period of time...

This was a nice little bull push, but price still cannot stay able 116.80. I have absolutely no confidence it is ready for another push to 117 yet.

If it shows it can stay above 116.80, well then, maybe it will make another move. Until then, be prepared for lower prices. Just my "noob" opinion

based on... ? there is a huge volume bulck right were we are - I wouldn't be surprised if we reverse now that we finally got here. look at the /6J future volume profile.
