up 50 pips from the last post with eur/jpy at 141.70 seems like a lot of strength from the yen, with expectations of a japanese interest hike, and my favorite excuse: exporters. still short
yeah, cgpi & machine orders figures did help, didn't they! but careful... may not last... 141.50 is a good level to cash in perhaps as regards the other 3 ($, gbp, eur) it's all up to US TB tonite... perhaps a small surprise from GE cpi figures before that, since expectations r pretty low
still holding eur/jpy at 141.30, the path of least resistance looks down. if you must, take some profits at 141.30, otherwise hold for 141.00 next stop.
cheers ;-) i'll follow on the next trade, not in this time, waiting for GE figures did you notice the ripple effect of the JP Machine Orders figures on XAU EURUSD & GBPUSD... short-lived wave but good & easy 20-40 pips up & down... well worth playing next time there is a surprise on JPY figures!
haven't really been paying attention too much to eur/usd 1.1985 gbp/usd 1.7460, too much action in the eur/jpy! i've quietly been watching aud/usd .7400 to see if the recent upward action in the gold affects it. elite trader should have a time stamp option for posting with real-time quotes for all major markets of interest.
yen rocketing again. if eur/jpy doesn't settle around 141.00, usd/jpy 117.60 either rebound or sink here... straddle? i'd like to see these levels broken! just shorted the usd/jpy at 117.75 for quick run.
good call... am way too skeptical on jpy clearly... totally missed this boat again... gone short eurusd at 1.1974 on the back of crap french figures, and disappointing GE / EC figures (again), on small size... planning to sit on it until closer to US TB announcement...
looks interesting, eur/jpy 140.70 usd/jpy 117.50 broke important levels, looks like eur/jpy 140.00 and usd/jpy 117 next.
well, at last my first post call for this thread has come to fruition. eur/jpy has dropped some 200 pips from 142.40 to the around 140.30 and below. i think it's time to start a new thread and position! we have the weekend to think about it!
