USDJPY


Recommended Posts

That's interesting, can you explain?

I saw this from Reuters and don't understand. 

Quote

USD/JPY's "bear trap" below the major 109.23 Fibo, a 38.2% retrace of the 104.10 to 112.40 2019 rise, increases the odds of a bigger recovery occurring.

In all honesty trading on weekly and monthly charts is best left to hedge fund managers. 

On the H4 you've got 3 x failures at 110.030 then a failure at the pivot, I'd be looking lower rather than higher at least until there was a breakout past such strong resistance.

Joshua Mahoney said something similar this morning and was looking at 30 minute charts in FX pairs.

I don't have a lot of confidence in trading in short-term time frames and there are a lot of 'sharks' pushing day trading stuff.

And yes longer range stuff is better for hedge fund managers with deep pockets.

So ... I would probably be better off doing something else.  😁

The H4 chart is quite a good one for medium term trades lasting 2 or 3 days so not really day trading and the stops are not so big as to be weighing too heavily on the account.

Not sure who these 'sharks' are what you mention, of far greater concern to you should be all the bs'ers.

You're quite right. :D

I'm going to practice this approach and go for it.

Interesting development, usdjpy broke key resistance that's been in place since early May on this 4th attempt.

Why did that happen? There was a surge in US indices on the US open so money came out of ultra safe Yen and went into stocks.

Not a totally convincing break though because come end of day some decided to reduce risk for the weekend and sent money back the other way but the dollar bulls did manage to keep the close above the break.

So what happens now? That will depend on whether there are any developments in the trade war, a worsening situation will send price back down but if there's no bad news big traders are expecting price to keep rising.

How do you know that? Because the big traders wouldn't have bothered to push price though resistance in the first place otherwise 🙄

So what do I do now? Well personally I'd be refreshing my memory of Cred's 'Entry Triggers' video I remember seeing in the 'Technical Analysis' thread.

    • That's a wise call and it's important to also confirm that the exchange of your chosen should be in compliance and perhaps licensed in your country. 
    • Investing in crypto could be challenging especially the Fear of Missing out Lambo. This mostly affect traders trading strategy and ideology. Predicting the right time to buy is always cumbersome and that is why many analyst advise DCA because it curtails FOMO and gives you a long-term crypto trading mentality. In crypto Dollar Cost Averaging involves investing the same amount of money in a target token at regular intervals over a certain period of time, regardless of price. This will help to control volatility on your portfolios and minimize FOMO For example when you decide to invest $100 on a token and invest $10 daily or weekly or monthly till you fulfilled you $100 target investment on the token irrespective of the price of the token. This strategy helps a crypto trader to build his portfolio over the long term thereby he/she is not bothered by short-term volatility in the broader markets. This strategy mostly favours low-budget traders in building a strong portfolio but the problem most normally encounter is exchange minimum trading amount. One analyst advised on how to mitigate this was to accumulate on exchange that has lower trading fees and later send to where you desire to hold. He also noted that some of this exchanges are good in listing good projects for you to be among the early birds. Do you think DCA is the best method to accumulate token and which exchange offers the lowest tradeable balance and trading fees?
