Missile test failure can be good news. But Brexit, Frexit, and Trump are still in play. Not yet to go long. Especially with 114-115 as strong resistant. Can try to go long for 112.60 weekly fibo 50% on my chart and also is yesterday pivot. SL 111.30 I agree.

First test on long is 112.10

When it hit 110. It will be a complete different range of 108 - 111. Ugh.

Lets look at where the swing target sits..

Here is a chart I posted here sometime ago when the uptrend into year end collapsed - the target is highlighted by the clear black arrow pointing to the blue line.

A few weeks ago I advised that the GAP needed to fill and the downtrend would resume...(of course one poster ridiculed me for it)...

Please observe what happened after the GAP was filled..

Of course price rarely moves in a straight line to target zones as liquidity is needed - thus pullbacks and swings occur en route.

There will be intraday moves within shorter timeframes but a famous trader once wrote...Ignore the bigger swing at your peril.

There is a support at 111.20 (38% monthly fibo and 112% weekly fibo). I don't think it can hold. But let's see.

{quote} I don't think rate hikes are going to move the dollar higher, not in the long run anyway. Historically the dollar index has always fallen during a rate hike cycle. Of course it may be different this time, nothing is ever 100% certain in FX.
Looks like its no different this time, history repeats itself.

USD/JPY longs are playing with fire right now. Until I see S&P500 climbing back above 2372, I'm not even thinking of going long.
USD/JPY is one of the most risk oriented pairs on the market, so going long in risk aversive markets environment is not my cup of tea.
I have shorted AUDUSD as it is also a very risk sensitive pair (carry trade) facing strong technical resistance so both technicals and fundamentals align.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.

Beg to differ.

A 25 bps increase in 2015, 25 bps increase in 2016, 25 bps increase so far in 2017 or a whopping 75 bps over almost 3 years ... is not history repeating itself.

But I do agree much further down we go. I see UJ currently in EW wave c of Wave 4 with possible resumption of uptrend in 2-3 weeks.
