They are the wild card. I don't think they can stop the melt down, but they could certainly cause some BIG spikes and screw all the players with shorts. That's one reason I have been in and out again taking profits and not just lowering stop loss..putting money in my pocket and leaving less on table for the manipulators. Also if i leave it out there with stops it tests my discipline not to keep moving stops when the price approaches them... this last little move down bumped weakly 5 points from bottom. Has to touch b4 it can go up convincely

The range of the past 8 days is almost equal to the range for the whole of 2015. To say that this move is overextended is a big understatement. Everyone is now talking about a possible BOJ intervention, after the yen appreciated 8% in 8 days. Not sure if the bank holiday will deter them from acting today or perhaps they will wait for Yellen/s testimony to be done later. Whatever the catalyst might be for a correction, boj intervention or something else, a long here at 113ish with 100 pips initial stop and initial target at 116 seems like a good...
I think BOJ will intervene. I doubt they want a strong YEN while their economy is in trouble with export and shipping numbers dropping. Short term I see 115-116 coming up

It seems as though everybody wants to bring their exchange rates down....BOJ,EUR,China,Australia, probably Canada soon and this from Yellen last night...................

" Over the course of the year, subdued foreign growth and the APPRECIATION OF THE DOLLAR RESTRAINED NET EXPORTS. In the fourth quarter of last year, growth in the gross domestic product is reported to have slowed more sharply, to an annual rate of just 3/4 percent; again, growth was held back by WEAK NET EXPORTS"

​In Pollie speak that's pretty plain English for "high exchange rates are damaging our economy, we want them down". U.S. rates have risen from 76.4 Yen since Oct. 2012. I think we're seeing a major readjustment take place. I'm sure we will have a rebound from the bottom of current movement, and I plan to be on the flight when it lifts off, but I think the game is changing. Volatility is going to reign supreme for quite some time..............................currency WAR

Too many wrong calls this year from Goldman. Wrong calls on stocks,Indexes,metals and currencies. They called 135 for YEN this year and now their stock is about to crash.

Too quick on the trigger that time. Just missed another 50 pips on both shorts! The last time it tapped a double bottom like that it quickly turned and I missed a good sell price. I guess I should have waited 3 minutes.
