Following the breakdown below the ichimoku hourly resistance (184.50/40 got slammed down hard), I decided to short on the bounce back up at around 183.820. Initial target at 183.30, provided it works, followed by 182.70/60 and 182.10/90.

If we DO go down, 183 might be a zone to watch out for; my guess is that it'll either be a scrap before a bounce back up or a catalyst to jump start further movement down once it breaks.

Given the failure to look positive on the daily chart on the ichimoku cloud (seriously, it's pretty hectic) and the continued move down bit by bit per day, I'd say that the odds of hitting below are high for now...only question is when. Then again, market might surprise us with some news announcement, which could change the game depending on what it is.

Edit: Curse my cowardice. Shorting from 184.50 would have made a GREAT scalping opportunity right off the bat. Did anyone get that spike down in the first two hours of the market? I know I didn't.

Edit 2: Hard SL at 184.150. Currently glued to the screen, so manual soft SL.

Nope. Is it worth it? Isn't spread really high?

Still in the trade. Was close to closing, though. May close depending on whether the currency pair goes down in the next hour or two.

Think we could get good scalping opportunities from now till FOMC. Gonna close everything before FOMC, too much uncertainty to trade effectively.
JPY will definitely be affected.
What do you guys think about the FOMC rate announcement? I'm thinking risk-off attitude all round hence temporary (even mid-term) strengthening of JPY.
I don't even dare to look at EURUSD or GBPUSD when FOMC rate is announced. Too much anticipation always = to added volatility.
Luck shines on the positive.

Funny peaking on the 30min. chart. Moved SL slightly up and still kept the trade. Going by gut on this; gbp/jpy can easily test 184.50/20 before going down, based on past past data and occurrences. R:R is worse than before, but hey - it's the decision I made. If I win, it's back to the pre-planned route. If not, I'll bite the losses. Might close early, but definitely not moving up the SL further.

Que sera, sera.

Update: SL triggered. OUT.

The ideal situation would be, but not always practical, is to clean up all positions tomorrow NY close. And Don't open any positions until Friday NY mid-day.

Like I said, this is only ideal but not always practical. Like you said, it'd be risk off. We should not take any risk for this very big event. Well, ok, just small risk less than 4% equity is fine.

Take a holiday, and come back on Friday NY midday. With Fresh trading, fresh mind, and fresh attitude. Have fun.

But we should find someplace to get long with a small stop......the last two years reversed on this day.......for a month in one case and for 8 months in the other.

Morning
GbpJpy Weekly pivot at 184.13, and 4hr RSI just below 50. Could be setting up for an RSI rejection of 50 and price a rejection of the Weekly Pivot. This hr candle needs to close above 184.11 for a drop.

Cable is also at Weekly Pivot of 5187, with 4hr RSI trending down toward the 50.

So we could have a setup to short GbpJpy at 184.08 when London opens if we are still here.

Alternatively, Franky could take price up 10 184.38, Then we have a different scenario. Will update just before London open
Forex, awful to watch, AWESOME to play

My ideas precisely. Though I'm not sure if the broker's server can react fast enough to close a trade during the spike. Good if it goes our way, bad if it delays into losing more.
Luck shines on the positive.

Back to the trades. Not going to rule out a retest of 185 before down again, theres an expanding channel with tops at 186.5+ and bottoms at 183-. With most of the daily range along the bottom half of the channel. if it breaks the half mark at 185, we could see it try to test 186.5. And if the channel stays strong, great swing/scalp trades.
Luck shines on the positive.

Just a reminder. On a hectic day, your SL or TP may not be honored. Or your positions will be liquidated way off your SLs. So, There is no guarantee on SLs.
