{quote} Went long as well. Think there is plenty of room to drop even more.
It wouldn't retrace until next week end i guess. 1st week of April was a big crash for UJ so it should retrace a bit in the month and continue downtrend and touch 105 till month end is what i feel. but anything can happen with this volatile pair. lets watch n see.
Believe in your thesis and stick to the plan, don't get scared with moves

I think next stop could be support around 106.50 - the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the move from October 2011 lows to last June's highs.

​I agree, a pull back before further downward movement, eyes on 107.00 zone.

Did not managed to break the 50MA on 1h chart. Should go more down once Wall Street is open. Next break should be 108.58/50 (daily pivot/ psychological levels) and below that at 108 (multi-month lows).

Is a trip back to 107 a realistic shot before the weekend? I opened a short at 107.9 yesterday. Hurting me now.

First it needs to break 108.50 and then hopefully the rally will continue. It is possible. Lets wait for the New York market to open in an hour.

108.22 is a monthly support. If price breaks this it might fall bad or would stay above it for this week. But next target of 105.5 is still not ruled out. Sellers on yen pairs are still maintaining their positions.

still look a sell to me, Im going to hold my position until next week, and of course it all depends on the margin and pretty much everything around me.
will keep an eye on COT data too...
I still believe its going to touch 105.00 but might not be an easy road.

I agree. I will keep my position open as well. So far it did not manage to break MA50. Only touch it again.

UJ got a lot more room to fall, until retail cuts their longs to 50% at least, it's a short sell and hold game.

It looks like a sell to me too, and I think it might even reach 103.80 - 103.00 next week. I don't think it will break below 107 this week though.

looking at UJ monthly chart the above does make a lot of sense.

Well I just hope the weekend gap won't hurt further come Monday's opener.

I would leave the stop loss higher in case of gaps ! I also added another lot to my sell position at 109.00

Looks like just a correction movement, downside movement continues. 108.00 still act as immediate support level.
