{quote} may look to go long around 104.3/25 for a break above 107... it looks like potential bullish flag same play could be sell on break below 20 old trend line that was well respected and then broker perfectly also in play at around 106.25-30
nice bounce...
might not help my EU long with larger size..

out breakeven.

Probably see some profit taking at the end of this week but trend should still be down for YEN. Let's see if we see 110 again

I suspect the market has some sort of erronously entered order active, that usually explains the moves like this. eg. one broker has pretty realistic demo and if there's a data glitch the order book still accepts orders and defaults them to 0.

In current system cancelled orders appear to linger, even if the order is cancelled within seconds, it has already effect on the future. In charts I found that some of these far placed, possibly erronous orders can take years to execute but if all the market makers withdraw then you get a wide spread (or "flash crash" if hft trade it).

Suggestions: If orders is entered beyond vwap+-10% then keep the order at client platform (don't make it auditable/send to broker etc) and show some counter that you have x seconds/minutes to cancel without market impact where x% is based on the distance from vwap, so if USDJPY order was sent at 0 you'd have possibly hours before the order went to the broker.

Even though the "0 order" may now be executing, don't count on the USD crashing because of price not time priority.

Short long term and you can not go wrong. Look a few years out. Patience pays

Any wave analysts to check my count? according to my chart the pair should go up a little with some corrections, reaching the previous high probably at 107+ & maybe even higher before heading back down a few hundred pips. I'm a complete beginner with these waves so if I'm way off track please correct me...or if you choose to just laugh your ass off!

No good. Wave (3) is shortest - which can't be.

More like wave III is wave 1 or A. Then retrace wave IV is wave 2 or B. And now presently wave 3 or C.

Indicator of yen weakness.

BOJ will have to take some more measures to strengthen their economy in the near future otherwise it might go to shit.

Thanks very much for the feedback. Have another look if you can, I removed some unnecessary labels to make it clearer, wave 3 isn't the shortest I don't think. I see how we can be presently in wave 3 or c though...if it keeps going higher then wave 3 it is.

My opinion is at we have a reverse here 107.200-107.700. The friday candelstick is a hammer,so is possible with the today candlestick to be a EVENING STAR formation or the today candle to be a Dojis. I bet at the day will be close near 106.500

Well not really either. This time you have the extreme low of Wave 4 overlapping into the extreme high of Wave 1. Traditional EW says that can't be.

Although I prefer to look at extreme closes for either wave and not lows and highs. But even in that case closes overlap.

Go back to the year where the YEN made its run from 106-122. Run started between October-November and ran from there

Most consider the close of each forex day to be 5pm NY time - which is 19 1/2 hours from now. BTW Sunday trading is included in Monday's bar. Some software incorrectly separates it. And you are trying to judge how the Monday bar will close now?????

Note currently (which doesn't really mean much because it can all change in a heartbeat overnight) the bar is a very bullish breakout.

only verbal intervention nothing more - knowledge of how increases QE shoots himself with a knee = QE Japan does not work, an aging population = negative interest rates = murder of pension funds
