Don't Forget the Yen

Much ado about USD rebounds during falling markets, but JPY strength still outperforms USD.

@Chloe,

I can't remember his name, but one charismatic commentator I read once described what he liked doing sometimes (in an upward trend) was "averaging up", which he paraphrased as:

"Buy, buy, buy, sell, buy, buy....etc" :-)

It's good when it works... :-)

@ chloetbull,

All the quick tempo stuff clutters and imbalances my judgement so personally I stay away from it. But it's said that, unlike men, women can do more than one thing at a time. Good luck.

@ chloethebull,

I think your best bet for following Ashraf regularly is to keep him open on his Twitter site. I'm sure he's updating there. I don't follow it as I try to keep my mind on the bigger picture and operate at a slower tempo which I find suits my mindset better - I have a life to live and a job to do afterall!

nzvik, as i said many times it is the anticipation of higher US rates that could give that temp USD boost and not the actual rate hikes. i dont think there could be rate hikes before Q3 if at all thsi year but it is the anticipation and expectation of the market which dictates these flows despite their frequence error. and i didnt even talk about the Eurozone fundamentals and the USD-positive impact of risk aversion dawning upon us.

Is there a possible HS follow through playing out on U/J - which if correct would mean a eventual shortish term (this week I guess) target c. 90.50. This afternoon will be interesting one way or the other with the US open.

Ashraf,

How "badly" will the Chinese hike in reserve requirements affect the usd/jpy pair?
