AUD/JPY oscillates at 85.7 I plan all trades according to bond& credit markets I see 10 y jap 10 year
UST rise rather sharply. I expect stock&commodity rally nearing end in a few days. Expect USDx rally,too.
You could be right - but so could I - it is a probabilities game. I am not sure where one can get definite data about a rally being speculator driven or big money manager driven ? It is only a guess unless we have a definite source or volume to confirm.
normally i don't bother with the why's of a price action - each expert can have a different reason - trying to figure it out in a short term trading (5 to 10 days max) plan is good to know but rarely actionable for me. Also, catching absolute tops and bottoms is a losing exercise for me at atleast - so start small - and see how the trade develops over the next day or two - add to it or get stopped out.
also looking at COT data - commercials who have been on the right side of the trade for the last year - are undecided - just a bit over a 1000 are short the yen. COT data overall is mixed with no clear bias at this stage and open interest is close to the mean of the last year - so no major increase in open interest signalling a large move is on the way - though all this could be lagging.
getting tempted to put in a small short on Cadjpy also.
@nzvik: I see. 3rd STD is far-away from a mean, no questions about it. But considering what Said wrote about the speculator-driven rally, I don't see USDJPY short as a safe bet right now. Maybe it's because Im looking for longer-term trades. Surely, USDJPY has some little downside probability, but given all the fundamental clues, I think there is a much bigger wave gaining strength.
should indicate yen carry nears end.
purely technical. no great fundamental theories behind it. price got too close to the 3rd Standard deviation on the daily charts, previous resistance is around 93.75, RSI is at the highest level it has been in the last one year. I think the market likes the 90.5 zone - so hopefully will come done there.
enough reasons for me to risk a short - does not work all the time - but with leverage below 1:5 - i normally can widen stops if I think the trade needs more space to work or vice versa
Thankyou for sharing your profound knowledge. Your valuable contribution and efforts to help the laymen in the field of trading has benefited many. I for one have benefited from your generous work. I see you as a saviour as there has been many times that your forecast has helped me out and provided me with words of reassurance.
You are truly the best - May God be with you always
yield curve in two and ten years is showing us that the market has still room to go up.
as ashraf showed us in its libor article yen till a point will be the carry trade currency. the crossing of yen libor bekow its usd counterpart is showing us that money is moving from jap gvt bond to us equities market. i am not that sure about that because we r still in a speculator rally and the big fund money manager for retail invesment hasnot come heavily in the game.
93.71 if broken clears the way to 100
but before by end week or next week can expect maybe 92.80
