{quote} What's the reason for that? {image}
It's just an observation. Usually there is some correlation with USD/JPY against NIKKEI and S&P500. I don't like to over analyse, but here it is.

Bad USD data initiated cash flows into stocks. As US stocks soared with USD dropping against most of it's counterparts BUT maintained strength against JPY. That can be explained with NIKKEI going up putting similar pressure on JPY.

Now as for why I remain extremely cautious is because EUR, GBP/USD are both coiling around resistance, USD, EUR, GBP/JPY are also reaching resistance targets.

All the above movements highly contradicts each other, no clear signals at all.
Hence I remain cautious fundamentally and prefer trading technical scalps for now instead of swing trades with trend.

Edit: Just like to add I am a long term EUR bear. So I'm somewhat a USD bull.
Luck shines on the positive.

{quote} Yes, that's usually the case - but since it's US bad data the JPY weakness against USD is probably limited but not so against other ccy's such as AUDJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY etc Also USD being dumped (+ UST yields up) for Crude and energy stocks is probably the drive for N225 Stops build up above 118.00
Yup. Hence I'm taking my wins along with my popcorn and sit on the sidelines for now. Personally hoping for USD/JPY to drop (not motivated fundamentally) to support levels so I can go long from there.
Luck shines on the positive.

If it is really break of inverse head and shoulder, it will target 118.5 imho

With AUDUSD on the rally, USDJPY is poised to decline on a 3rd wave (wave iii) while AUDJPY on the move up.

Yeah, looks like it, kind of, but be carefull, we are back below 117.70, so am not 100% convinced - I think it will slide back to .50

If it reaches 117.7 then back down to 117.3 it will be head and shoulder..

Looking at Ichimoku Daily Chart.... UJ can test 113.50 provided it breaks below 116

But I think US fundamentals can restrict the further decline of UJ. I also support more bear moves of the pair.

The bull started 11 am here in norway and is still strong. Couple of more hours before the bears take over,
Energy, frequency and vibration.

Current chart for UJ... Should be a good short trade (imo)
