Quoting Vermillion
The "xxx/JPY" pairs are unknown for intraday trend. Ask the veteran users of Forex Factory; many of them have wide ranges and are staying back to see how the market reacts on Sunday. This is because practically everyone expected Abe Shinzo to win, with a record low turnout for voters. Everything fell exactly into place as expected. Now, before any one of you newcomers decide to go crazy for longing the USD/JPY as soon as the market starts, remember these key points: 1) The major financial institutions that run the forex volatility are well aware...
Plenty of people have turned there attention short as well remember. There might be a bearish sentiment about the markets at the moment with some analysts claiming it could go 113 and below. This week will be interesting though

Just an other reason to go SHORT on Oil, isn't it?

Of course not, never said it was. But Oil has definitely thrown a spanner in the works.

Like I said If this thing closes below 117.25 then I will look at opportunities to go short. It is not personal bias but more that the overall longer trend has still yet to be broken.

"Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's coalition cruised to a big election win on Sunday, ensuring he will stick to reflationary economic policies and a muscular security stance....."

...market reaction is muted.....and will remain so for a while.....go fishing. Recency bias dominates all round as usual.

Edit : If it doesn't break out of this, nothing is happening yet either way...

We have a significant dip in prices within the first 10 minutes...unfortunately, most of my shorts are a bit lacking in profit, seeing as how my broker's spread just jumped to 8 pips in the GBP/JPY.

At least its leverage is high and its data & withdrawals are trustworthy. I guess they have to squeeze a few bucks somewhere.

But all in all this is VERY good news for USD/JPY longs in the med-term. Time to stock on for 2015 first quarter, when the yen jumps 125+. I think most banks are looking around the 145 mark and possibly beyond for 2015.

Mr Abe's won the Japan's elections will be seen as positive for this pair, the Prime Minister as he retains further 4 more years, will enable him to complete his economic reform and that should continue to weigh on the Yen.

I have two words for you, Liam: Scottish Referendum. This Japanese election reminds me of just that: predictable results, and opposite movement just following the results of the votes. I think the market makers already cashed in and are trying to set new lows before creating new yearly highs.

I expect some support on 117.50, but I personally think that the optimal place to reload would be 117. Of course, I could very well be wrong; all I can guess (correction: have guessed) is that we'll go down to at least 117.70/30.

I agree, UJ will probably continue the upside.

{quote} I agree, UJ will probably continue the upside.
Probably? No, it's guaranteed. Japan's parliament already acknowledged that on T.V.; go look up Abe Shinzo's pre-election interviews and T.V. media appearances.

The problem for retail traders here is that most people think it'll go up automatically.

I think that some people in this forum (i.e. those screaming "buy now! buy now!") are forgetting that the market makers are watching this as well, and they also knew Abe Shinzo was going to win. They'll also look forward to buying the USD/JPY, but they'll need sellers who'll sell the pair to them. After all, they only buy in bulk. They'll want to squeeze as much short term intraday bulls as they can before buying it right back up.

The thing is, it doesn't matter if our fundamentals and technicals are right during moments of volatility like these. If only for a moment, they can just shove their vast quantities of funds from their war chest and knock us out of the market. It's big business strategy 101: Use your bigger size and weight as an advantage over smaller competitors. If you think I'm lying, look up all the cases where big banks like Barclays, HSBC, Bank of America, CitiBank, and dozens more are indicted yearly for manipulating the forex market.

Edit: Oh, hello, 117.00. We've just touched slightly below 118.00.

Possibly a retest? The market is out of whack right now.

We're seem to be in for a correction, but bulls seem to be fighting to keep this area alive.
